How to set the timezone

  1. Connect to the camera via SSH or Telnet (with PuTTY or WinSCP). The default password for user root is blank (leave it empty).
  2. Get your timezone string from this page.
  3. Run echo yourTZstring > /etc/TZ
  • e.g. if your timezone is America/New_York, then, you should run echo EST5EDT,M3.2.0,M11.1.0 > /etc/TZ
  1. Reboot the camera: reboot
  • You can check if the timezone was correctly set by running the date command.
