You may still notice a discrepancy in the time-stamp on a recording. Factors that can affect the time-stamp of the recording are:

  • The time-stamp on the recordings are made by a remote server. If the server is in a different time zone, you may see a discrepancy.
  • Recording upload may be delayed because of a weak Internet signal, or if the camera is temporarily offline.
  • Upload speed issues can affect the time a recording transfer completes, affecting the time-stamp that is applied.
