There is a time setting firmware bug for doing daylight savings time by week in the PTZ5A4M-25X under the 2023/08/04 firmware on EmpireTech site.
The firmware refuses to accept 0200 as the end of DST time. It will accept 0100 and 0300, but will not select the correct 0200 in popup menu.
Also, if one types in 02 for hour manually, the firmware changes it to 03.

Do you have the camera set to 24 or 12-hour time?

Are you using Explorer?

24 hour time.

Chrome under MacOS. No windows Explorer here.
Have not run into this on my other cameras with the new web GUI. For this to happen, the firmware code has to be explicitly prohibiting 02 as the end hour.

I just encountered the bug too and came looking here for a solution. Looks like it might take a while, if ever, for it to be fixed.

Oh my gosh. Looney2ns is right. This bug actually IS in my other new Web GUI cameras. I simply had not noticed the cameras changing my selection before this camera.

I reported this issue well over a yr ago and many other bugs to Dahua engineers when the new web gui debuted, they basically shrugged it off.

Weird - I went in this morning to start changing mine that were 3:00 to 1:59 and at least one is correct now LOL. Time to look at the others.

Wouldn't you know it all of mine are now 2:00.

Must be some weird programming on day of LOL.

I just went in to the one camera I changed to 1:59 last night that wouldn't not accept 2 and sure enough it did now:
