NTP Time Servers
The below NTP servers are very accurate and I have been using them over the last three years without any problems, ideal if your CCTV system has NTP capability and is connected to the internet.
0.europe.pool.ntp.org
1.europe.pool.ntp.org
2.europe.pool.ntp.org
3.europe.pool.ntp.org
If your system is running on Windows XP you can setup the Internet Time by copying the below and saving it as a .reg file then double clicking it and say yes to add to your registry.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DateTime\Servers] |
|---|
This will then change your machine to sync it clock from option 3 "0.europe.pool.ntp.org" as per the below screen shot.
If you would like Windows XP to sync to your NTP server more frequent then the below allows you to poll your NTP server every fifteen minutes, copy and paste into a .reg file and double click.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\TimeProviders\NtpClient] |
|---|
Both of the above registry files can be obtained via the downloads section.
