GMC203 radix GPS-NTP master clock

The importance of accurate time synchronization in CCTV and DVR installations cannot be overstated. It is crucial that all recordings are timestamped correctly, especially for evidential purposes. Many DVR products have internal clocks that can drift by several seconds per week, leading to significant time errors if left unattended for extended periods.

To address this issue, the Radix NTP/GPS clock server (GMC203) offers a solution for network-based IP synchronized and GPS synchronized clock servers. This system ensures that all devices are accurately synchronized to the correct time, even in the event of a link failure with the GPS satellite or NTP server.

The GMC203 retransmits the accurate time over RS485 channels or to RF slaves, providing precise timing information to multiple clients using the ethernet SNTP protocol. In the event of a sync source failure, the clock automatically switches to another source to ensure that time accuracy is maintained.

Furthermore, the GMC203 features built-in battery backup to ensure that time is accurately maintained even in the case of a power cut. Users can configure the time for any of the existing 39 time zones worldwide, and enable or disable daylight saving time as needed.

In conclusion, the Radix NTP/GPS clock server (GMC203) provides a reliable and accurate time synchronization solution for CCTV and DVR installations, ensuring that all recordings are timestamped correctly and can be used as evidence when needed.
