I have 12 identical cameras motion detecting pictures to a Synology DS-718+ NAS....
I'm Presently Using NTP service within Synology NAS for time source for the 12 security cameras... NTP in NAS does an offset from GMT only... So at present, NTP is done at NAS Level, and DST is done at each individual camera... I have to once a year go into each camera and edit start and end date for DST, for the upcoming year... Today was that day.... YAWN!!!
Seeing that others have to do this too... and Synology NAS will run a timed script file, I was wondering if anyone had experimented with a Script file that would Automatically Update DST time within Synology NAS NTP.... and I could then turn off DST in each camera...
This would prevent the need to log into each camera and reset DST Start & End times each year... NTP And DST would then be done from one device, not 12 (or as many cameras as you have!)...
Yes, I'm lazy... And I bet others are too! I'd be willing to bet that there might be a solution for this already, and I've just not stumbled across it.....
If anyone has done this, or, could provide suggestions on How-To, I'm willing to test it!
Thanks for any suggestions!
Prior to using NAS's NTP, I had a Raspberry Pi as a time server... That, too, did not do DST automatically, either!
