How to set time on Amcrest IP camera [SOLVED]
Amcrest makes a variety of IP based security cameras. Overall the camera do a good job at a reasonable price. However, occasionally after setting up a new camera there can be issues with an incorrect timestamp date/time.
The issue is easily resolved via the following configuration screen:
The Date & Time Configuration Screen
Therefore, if your Amcrest wifi/Ethernet camera is showing an incorrect date/time, here are the steps to manually update the date and time:
Open the camera’s local IP address in a web browser:
#1 http://192.168.0.35/ (substitute your camera’s IP)
#2 Login: default username admin, default password admin
#3 Click “Setup” near the upper right hand corner
#4 Select “System -> General” in the left hand navigation bar
#5 Select the “Date & Time” tab, then manually set the time (or sync with NTP server if you prefer).
Hopefully that helps 🙂
