Hey Guys,

I finally have set up all my camera's and got everything working awesome!.

The only issue i am having is my timezone is not showing correctly on my cameras.

I have updated my php.ini file would Australia/Melbourne

As you can see ZM main page displays the correct time but on the camera it is showing the wrong timezone.

I also created a small php page to echo the time and it returned correct.

So this date must come from another source.

Does anyone have any idea where it comes from?

I think you have to set it in each camera setting

Search all the php.ini files and check the timezone.

Double check actual server timezone and time, the video timestamp is done in c++. Same TZ as me.

Thanks Everyone,

Had tried all of above but overlooked what my jails timezone was as the master was set to AEST however the jail wasnt.

So with a quick
cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/Australia/Melbourne /etc/localtime

Wella the server is now on AEST

Thanks heaps Steve dont know how i overlooked this been pulling my hair out for days.

connortechnology and I were having a discussion last week about using UTC for all recordings and then adjusting timezones for users and maybe for cameras.
