Huawei Surveillance Time Settings: A Comprehensive Guide71

Configure Time Settings

Time settings are crucial for ensuring accurate timestamps and time-based events in surveillance systems. Huawei surveillance devices allow for precise time configuration to synchronize with local time or a designated reference server. To configure time settings, you can access the device's web interface or use the command line interface (CLI).Web Interface:
1. Log in to the web interface using admin privileges.
2. Navigate to Configuration > System Configuration > Time Configuration.
3. Select the desired time zone and time format.
4. If required, enable Network Time Protocol (NTP) and configure the NTP server address.
5. Click Apply to save the changes.
CLI:
1. Enter the CLI using the command "telnet ".
2. Run the following commands:
```
time-settings time-zone
time-settings time-format
time-settings ntp-enable yes/no
time-settings ntp-server
```
3. Press Enter to save the changes.

Synchronize Time with NTP

NTP is a protocol that allows devices to synchronize their clocks with a designated reference server. This ensures accurate timekeeping and reduces time drift. To synchronize time using NTP, configure the NTP server address in the time settings. The device will periodically communicate with the NTP server to adjust its internal clock.

Adjust Time Manually

In cases where it is not possible to use NTP or the device is not connected to the network, you can manually adjust the time. However, it is important to note that manual time adjustments may result in time drift over time.Web Interface:
1. Log in to the web interface.
2. Navigate to Configuration > System Configuration > Time Configuration.
3. Select the "Manual" time mode.
4. Set the current time, date, and time zone.
5. Click Apply to save the changes.
CLI:
1. Enter the CLI.
2. Run the following commands:
```
time-settings time-mode manual
time-settings time
time-settings date
time-settings time-zone
```
3. Press Enter to save the changes.

Check Time Synchronization

To verify if the device is properly synchronized, you can use the following methods:Web Interface:
1. Log in to the web interface.
2. Navigate to Configuration > System Configuration > Time Configuration.
3. Check the "Current Time" field. It should match the current time from a reliable source.
CLI:
1. Enter the CLI.
2. Run the following command:
```
show time-settings
```
3. The output will display the current time, date, time zone, and NTP server status.

Best Practices

To ensure accurate timekeeping in Huawei surveillance systems, follow these best practices:* Use NTP synchronization whenever possible.
* Keep the NTP server up-to-date and reliable.
* Regularly check time synchronization to ensure accuracy.
* Avoid manual time adjustments as they can lead to time drift.
* If using manual time adjustments, always double-check the accuracy.
