Configuring DST (Daylight Saving Time)
Purpose:
Daylight Saving Time (DST) is a way of making better use of the natural daylight by setting your
clock forward one hour during the summer months, and back again in the fall.
If there is the habit of adjusting clocks forward in your country in certain time period of a year,
you can turn this function on. The time will be adjusted automatically when the Daylight Saving
Time (DST) comes.
Steps:
1. Enter the DST interface by Configuration > System > System Settings > DST
Figure 6-47 DST Settings
2. Check the Enable DST checkbox to enable the DST function.
3. Set the date of the DST period.
4. Click to save the settings.
Configuring RS-232
The RS-232 port can be used in two ways:
Parameters Configuration: Connect a computer to the camera through the serial port.

port parameters must be the same as the serial port parameters of the camera.
Transparent channel: Connect a serial device directly to the camera. The serial device will be
controlled remotely by the computer through the network.
Note:
RS-232 function varies depending on different speed dome models.
