    Anyone found a way to automate DST in a time server?

    So that's the DST setting in this camera... I have not found a way of not adding the day number... That means I have to edit each year, right, or am I missing something basic?

    Ok. Re-adjusted Porch Camera mot detect, and sprayed for spiders on all. 2 neighbors have confirmed its the same “Teenager” who has visited their porches. He walked entire porch, and on left side got up on railing to examine hummingbird feeder, but lost interest. We had bird feeders in house.

    Latest firmware for DS-2CD2042WD-1

    From release notes of what’s been addressed in this update..... Since my camera doesn’t have an SD Card, nor does it connect to Hik-Connect, nor do I have an NVR, and in fact is denied from internet by my router, this firmware may not be as needed as prior one was—which fixed the ‘back door’...
