When time is adjusted forward, it changes from Eastern Standard Time (EST) to Daylight Saving Time (DST).

The time shift from EST to DST occurs at 2:00am. Before 2:00am, Security Center uses the EST (UTC-5). Starting from 2:00am, it uses the DST (UTC-4), as shown in the following table:
  EST Time change DST
Local time 12:00am 1:00am 2:00am = 3:00am 4:00am 5:00am
Offset (hours) -5 -5 -4 -4 -4
UTC 5:00am 6:00am 7:00am 8:00am 9:00am
Because the time was adjusted forward, the following behaviors can occur when playing back video or exporting archives:
  • The time shifts forward by 1 hour in the timeline. At 1:59:59am, the displayed time advances to 3:00am.
  • There are no archives to export between 2:00am and 3:00am, because this period was skipped.
To prevent the time from shifting forward by 1 hour during video playback, you must configure Security Desk to use UTC.
