Daylight Savings Time Axis Issue

The week before daylight savings time or the week after daylight savings time, my camera is one hour behind or one hour ahead.



Starting 2007, in the United States, clocks will be set one hour ahead on the second Sunday of March instead of the first Sunday of April. Clocks will be set back one hour on the first Sunday in November, instead of the last Sunday in October.

How do we make our AXIS video products switch to the correct time according to the new rules?
 

Answer

A: Follow these instructions to configure the time adjustment through the product's web interface:

1. Set the time, the time zone and enable adjustment for DST in the Date&Time page
2. Go to System Options > Advanced > Plain Config > Time
3. Click on Time.DST.settings and set the DST parameters to these values:

Enabled: check the box
Start type of date: 8
Start day: 0
Start month: 2
Start time: 02:00:00
Stop type of date: 1
Stop day: 0
Stop month: 10
Stop time: 01:00:00
Offset: 01:00:00

Save your changes. Restart the camera for the changes to take effect.

For easier administration of multiple cameras, these parameters can be set by using the AXIS Camera Management tool and the template functionality provided there.
