How to Exit Setup After Setting Time on a Security Camera6

Exiting the setup menu after setting the time on a security camera is typically straightforward. Here's how to do it for different types of cameras:

Wired IP Cameras
Once you've set the time using the camera's web interface or software, look for an "Apply" or "Save" button.
Click the button to save the changes. The camera may reboot, which can take a few minutes.
After the reboot, the camera should display the correct time.

Wireless IP Cameras
Connect to the camera's Wi-Fi network using your smartphone or tablet.
Launch the camera's mobile app and navigate to the "Settings" or "Camera Configuration" section.
Tap on the "Time" or "Date and Time" option.
Set the time and date using the app's interface.
Tap on "Save" or "Apply" to confirm the changes.
The camera should now display the correct time.

Analog Cameras with DVR or NVR
Access the DVR or NVR's web interface or software.
Locate the "System" or "Camera" tab.
Click on the "Time" or "Date and Time" option.
Set the time and date using the provided fields or calendar.
Click on "Save" or "Apply" to save the changes.
The DVR or NVR will update the time settings for the connected cameras.

General Tips
Make sure you have a stable internet connection for IP cameras.
If you're unable to save the changes, ensure you have the necessary user permissions.
If the time is still not correct after saving, try power cycling the camera or DVR/NVR.
Consult the camera's user manual or contact the manufacturer for specific instructions.

Additional Considerations* Some cameras may have a dedicated "Exit" or "Logout" button in the setup menu.
* If the camera supports remote access, you can usually exit the setup by disconnecting from the remote session.
* Once the time is set correctly, remember to disable the camera's DHCP setting and set a static IP address for better stability.
