The following information is displayed:

Settings

Select one of the following settings.

NTP server

The camera synchronizes with an NTP server that is typically either a foreign computer or a server within your organization that synchronizes itself with an external NTP server. The latter is recommended if synchronization is crucial to your organization. Click Server and enter the URL or IPv4 address of the machine running the NTP server. Click Test connection to test the connection between the camera and the NTP server. The camera synchronizes with the NTP server every hour.

Active extension (Patroller)

If you select Active extension (Patroller), the camera's date and time are synchronized with the Patroller server that the camera is connected to. The camera synchronizes with the server upon connection, then again every 10 minutes.

NOTE: If you have not yet configured the active extension (see Configuring where the SharpZ3 sends its ALPR data), you can select Active extension, and it will be updated when you configure the extension.

NOTE: The Active extension option displays whichever extension is currently selected for the camera in Configuration > Extensions, however, selecting this option has no effect if you are using an extension type other than Patroller (not valid for FTP, HTTP, and so on).

LPM protocol

When you add a SharpZ3 camera to the ALPR Manager using the LPM Protocol, the camera's date and time are automatically synchronized with the LPM Protocol.

NOTE: By default, LPM protocol is not an available setting. When a SharpZ3 is manually added to the ALPR Manager (Security Center 5.8 and later), the LPM protocol is automatically selected as the unit’s extension type and for date and time synchronization.
