Couple of NVR setting questions; Enable Hik-connect Server Time Sync, and h.265+

[Sonic007]

Hi all,

Just a few questions about the NVR settings please.....


Under Advanced configuration and platform access there is a setting "Enable Hik-connect Server Time Sync".

Should this be ticked or not?

I have my NVR time set to update via NTP server.

Just wondered what this "Enable Hik-connect Server Time Sync " was.

Secondly, should H.265 be set to off as it is now and H.265 selected or the H.265+ setting turned on?


Is there a way to assign a SSL secure certificate to the NVR and do you reccommend one to use?


Thankyou for your help.

Hi @Sonic007

We got clarification from Hikvision support and Server Time Sync is exactly what we thought it was:

"This feature can be enabled to synchronize the device’s time to the Hik-Connect server’s time. It’s just a method of time correction."​

​

So, it is just a method for those who don't have NTP set up to correct the time across devices and on Hik-connect.
As you have NTP enabled that is already doing the time correction so this is not necessary.

If you want to record using H.265 then you select that option and have H.265+ disabled.
If you want the higher H.265+ compression then you leave it set to H.265 and tick enable H.265+.
You may see a pop-up when you make this change that using H.265+ does limit the smart features you can use.
