Dahua camera and DST

[IReallyLikePizza2]

I just got 8 x IPC-HDW2231R-ZS and I am getting everything all set up

I want the time on every camera to be perfect, so I setup my NVR system to also serve NTP

I pointed the camera at the server and it pulled the time, however its 1 hour behind. I am on US Central time (UTC -6), and it looks like it's because of DST

But, for some reason Dahua have manual DST settings, so I have to specify when DST starts and begins. Problem is, DST dates change each year...

How are you guys dealing with this? I searched and couldn't find any other threads on this, but sorry if its a duplicate!

Well, turns out it was duplicate... But I'll post the answer here

Your DST setup is the same as mine (except for time zone, I'm GMT-8), and my cameras show the correct time. I'm using time.windows.com for the server in the NVR. The same setup is repeated in each camera, except "synchronize with NTP" is unchecked.
