How the **** you setup the correct time?

[klacla]

I have 5 hikvision cameras, and none of them I have the correct time. I live in a GMT+1 zone and currently we have the summer time (1 hour more)
When I syncronize manually with my PC, after a while it goes bananas and shows 30 minutes less on one camera, on another camera it shows 1 hour less.
When I use the option NTP (I use an Italian server, ntp1.inrim.it, but tried others too) it gives one hour LESS, even if I correctly put GMT+1
so I try to fool him saying I am in Athens (GMT+2) but is not working, still shows 1 hour less
What a crappy software

Hi,
Have you looked at this thread:
How to configure time settings on a Hikvision camera or NVR

It really shouldn't be difficult.

Some people completely overlook the DST settings - I am always suspicious of this as soon as I hear an error of 30mins mentioned.

Some NTP servers send a signal that's already adjusted for DST.
Just use the default NTP shown in the 'How To'.
Set it for your geographical time zone.
Set up DST according to your local conditions - typically forward one hour at some date in the Spring / back one hour at some date in the Autumn.
