POE Camera – Excellence in Security Surveillance System
Security and surveillance systems have undergone a wave of change. The most important reason for this is the need for high-end safety and security measures. With huge residential and commercial complexes coming up, individuals and enterprises would need a...
Configure your Linux NTP Server
Network Time Protocol (NTP) provides algorithms and defines messages for the synchronisation of time clients to an accurate time reference. This article discusses how to configure a Linux NTP Time Server to synchronise time with an Internet based public N...
How To Sync A Network Using NTP
PC's maintain time using internal real-time clock chips. These are relatively low cost devices that do not keep very good time. They can drift by seconds or even minutes each day. This can cause real headaches when events need to be ordered across a numbe...
How to Configure your Linux NTP Server
Network Time Protocol (NTP) provides algorithms and defines messages for the synchronisation of time clients to an accurate time reference. This article discusses how to configure a Linux NTP Time Server to synchronise time with an Internet based public N...
Network Time Servers – Should a Network Use the Internet to Synchronize Time?
Timing is very important to the proper functioning of a computer network of any kind. Many computer transactions use a time stamp but it is not as important that a single computer have perfect timing (although it is desirable, after all we all like our wa...
NTP and Linux
Linux based operating systems are increasing in popularity all the time. Commercial operating systems like Windows and OS X are constantly being bombarded by viruses and security breaches. There are few viruses that can touch a Linux system and they are o...
How To Synchronise a Network
All computers maintain system time from an internal real-time clock chip. These devices are generally relatively low-cost and as a consequence tend not to keep good time. In fact, computers are notorious for providing inaccurate time and can drift by seve...
How To Synchronise Your Windows PC to a Time Server
Do you regularly need to correct the time on your PC? The answer is probably "Yes!". This is because computers have very poor time-keeping hardware. Often, the system clock in a regular PC can drift by minutes each day. However, help is at hand. It is ver...
Why Does My Organisation Need a NTP Time Server?
NTP is an acronym for Network Time Protocol. NTP is used throughout the computing industry to maintain synchronisation of computers and network infrastructure to an accurate time reference, or NTP Time Server. This article attempts to clearly and simply d...
Configuring a Simple NTP Time Server
NTP, or Network Time Protocol, is a standard protocol for synchronising time on computers and network equipment. NTP allows client computers to synchronise with a reference NTP server over a computer network. The protocol was originally developed for the ...
Radio referenced time servers explained.
Atomic clocks use an atomic resonance frequency standard as their timekeeping element and are by far the most accurate chronometers possible with the latest Strontium based atomic clocks boasting a precision of a less than a second lost in several hundred...
Common Time Server Questions
What is a time server?
A time server is a device that utilises a single time source and distributes it amongst a network. This enables all machines on a LAN (or WAN) to be synchronised together.
What is NTP?
Network Time Protocol is a protocol ...
Basic Time Server Information
All PC's and networking devices use clocks to maintain an internal system time. These clocks, called Real Time Clock chips (RTC) provide time and date information. The chips are battery backed so that even during power outages, they can maintain time.

Network Time Server Faq
What is a network time server?
A network time server is a hardware device that utilises a single time source and distributes it amongst a network to ensure all computers and devices are telling the same time.
