IPM-722S Won't save DST or NTP info

I have an IPM-722S camera with the latest firmware. In the general settings, I have the timezone set correctly to UTC -08:00. I enable the DST checkbox and put in the proper dates for the start/end of DST. I enable the NTP setting and put in a proper NTP server (tick.ucla.edu). I click save and it tells me the settings have been saved. However, whenever I check the camera, the displayed time is 8 hours behind the current time. I go back to the settings and the DST/NTP checkboxes are off again. It just won't save them no matter what I do. Anyone else have this issue?

Hello brucehvn,
Login to the camera web interface and under System > general > use the 'Sync with PC time' option and save it. It should keep the correct time.

Hi Melvin,
Yes, I've done that and it does show the correct time for awhile, then goes back to being 8 hours off. I want it to be able to use the NTP functionality, but it doesn't seem to work, although it must be doing something with the internet time to reset the time after I've sync'd it to the PC.

Just to add to this, I used the HTTP API interface to talk to the camera. It showed the DST and NTP settings as disabled. I set them through that API and the time corrected itself. But looking back at it about 10 minutes later, the time was off again, and the NTP and DST settings were back to disabled. Seems like something is resetting them for some reason.
