@gboelter Hello, 

If camera does not synchronize time from its predetermined NTP servers according to device time zone, may I know do you have better idea to let camera obtain accurate time more reliably? From local PC/ NVR/ or third party software ? 

Besides, the purpose of  that thread is to provide some feasible troubleshooting suggestions for users who met similar issue and also add some notes why that step may help.

We welcome constructive feedback on the suggestions in that thread.

@Solla-topee I agree, accurate time is important but is'n it more important that the time the cam shows me is the same then the time in my network?

I guess 90% of all issues discussed here are related to the software (firmware) and not to the hardware but the best hardware is useless, if the firmware is bad, do you agree?

My solution would be very simple: Let the user choose which NTP he will use, yours as 'default' oder any others. Me for example, I'm using 'time.cloudflare.com' and I never had a problem with that. I'm sure, your NTP is not better then that one ...

@gboelter Hello, 

Recently our team has optimized the way the camera obtaining the time. For Tapo C200 the latest firmware,  camera could use the NTP servers defined by ONVIF software, so that is a way to allow camera use other NTP servers to synchronize time. You could give a try if you still have the camera.
