Security Cameras Time and Date

[fotingo]

Hi,
I have been using YazFi for some time and has been working very well for the most part. I have my security cameras on a VLAN with Internet access disabled as they are only for LAN.
I have enabled NTP server on the router, but I notice the cameras do not get updated with the time and date.

I would imagine is because they do not have internet access? or is it because they are on a vlan, or a combination of both?
Is there a way for the cameras to get updated with the NTP time without giving them Internet access?

Thanks.

Correct.

or is it because they are on a vlan

They are not. YazFi doesn't use VLANs.

Do you have "Intercept NTP client requests" enabled on System tab of Administration page?

They are not. YazFi doesn't use VLANs.

Oh I see. My mistake, I thought those were vlans, but I guess they are just guest networks then?

yep, I do.

Is my only option to enable Internet access to the cameras then?

Maybe there are other ways but do you really have the time to figure that out? Just enable internet access. Better yet, dump the guest WIFI and put the cams on the normal LAN. There are other things that are more of a worry than a few cams. Make sure you disable UPNP. Run Diversion and Skynet.

Devices within Guest Network 2 or Guest Network 3 with NTP intercept enabled should work. Then, disable internet access for each camera.
