Hello,
I have 3 Q-SEE 1080p WI-FI outdoor entry cameras and cannot get into them to set the time and date. I don't mind using the SD cards to record too, but not having the correct time and date is rather annoying to try and review video.

Any ideas?

They likely won't keep the correct time unless synced to a NTP time server (could be via your LAN) or are connected via P2P.

Hello Tony,
These are WI-FI only, no LAN or RJ-45 connections. 5V USB connection is all it has.

Wi-Fi is LAN.
Does your Wi-Fi / LAN access the Internet?
Does the cam have an embedded webGUI or is it configrable with an app?
If either is possible, maybe a NTP server can be configured otherwise it would likely be via their cloud (P2P) app.

Correct, I don't have the Q-SEE program that can recognize the camera API. Can't see it on the 2.4 wi-fi on my laptop. Not sure what to do.

When and where did you get the camera?

I ask because many are of these older but still in box cams are sold on eBay.
You'll need the Quick Start Guide and/or or the app.
It likely use the app, your scan a QR code on the phone and it sets the cam in a Ad Hoc mode (AP mode) and it broadcasts a SSID that you pick up with your smartphone and you launch the app and have it find YOUR home's Wi-Fi SSID and log into it.

Apologize, I always thought a LAN port was programmable hardline connection.

It states on the box it requires the QSEE PLUS program to connect to it. I'm pretty sure that program was purged when they shut to doors in 2019.

Christmas gift from my brother in 2018. Never needed cameras before, but the area I live in is getting overrun with substance abuse people.

I will ask again - how are you seeing/accessing the camera to know the time is off? What program, app, web browser, etc.?

Nobody here uses wifi cams for surveillance type stuff. They are ok for checking in on the pet, the baby, etc. but if you want to know when substance abuse people are out and about or be able to produce something the police can use, wifi isn't the solution.

OK our posts mixed in the internet world LOL.

Wow - most of the time pulling out the SD card won't work in a computer.

But yea if you don't have internet access in the camera or the ability to direct it to a NTP, you are out of luck on time.

Well thanks, I was looking for the easier way out. I have some Axis equipment, P3904 cameras and a T8705 decoder to send to a monitor. Climbing into the attic to run cable at my age is not as easy as it used to be. LOL

QSEE ... dahua oem iirc, used different ports.

Once you set the time it should hold well enough at first until the units lose power

I would expect time to drift without NTP access

If you have access to the web interface of the cameras you should be able to reset time

Plan to use an older version of a browser.. perhaps ms edge ( ie )

Iirc dahua has a scan software you may want to try

I tried to send you a DM but it's a no-go...

Did you mean Internet Explorer?

Hey Jay,

100 % Dahua OEM .. I recall posting more info on this in various threads here.

Do not recall if people found it easy enough to access once Q-see died .. ( Q-see has been revived as a new entity )
