Hello, we have 2 Facepass 7 PRO in a stand alone installation (we do not use Crosscheck software, instead a propietary software), both conected by wifi.

Totally we have 4 Facepass 7 PRO and 1 C2C PRO in the same installation.

The devices are working fine for 1 year, but about 3 weeks ago we are experiencing the following issue.

In one of them, the time changes ramdomly with 1 hour less, and then ramdomly again it changes for the right hour.

This device is configurated as the same than the other Facepass7Pro, it has DST set, no time zone set, no Group set and no schedule set.

Firmware ver:03.76.B6_dark_BT107
Kernel Ver. :g4aaa48c
File system ver. :01.76.02

In other Facepass7PRO device, with the same settings than before, this morning we have been noticed that it has the time 1999-11-30 00:28:46

Firmware ver:03.76.B6_dark_BT107
Kernel Ver. :g4aaa48c
File system ver. :01.76.02

I will appreciate any helping tips.

Thank you in advance.

Hello,

I see that the topic has been posted for several days and there is no response.

This exact same thing is happening to me with another Facepass7PRO terminal.

In case it helps, it always happens at the same time (between 2 and 3 p.m.), but it doesn’t happen every day.

I have tried disabling WAN mode in case it was taking the time from a time server.

It’s strange that it hasn’t happened to anyone else.

Where can I download updated firmware?

Any suggestions?

Thank you so much.

Hi @ingeniatec,

Give it a try to disable the DST function if it’s used in the devices.

Hello, thank you for your response.

DST is a valuable feature that we can not sotop of use.

Finally we have changed the NTP server in all of our terminals since 2 weeks ago, and for the moment we have received any time issue.

So I guess that the problem was realated with the NTP server.

Best regards.

Hello, Ingeniatec

When using the device with your own proprietary software, will you sync the time with the device? If you do, you don’t need to set DST on the device. If it’s related to NTP settings, you can try other server and see if it can solve the problem.

Have you tried factory resetting the device and see if it works? If the issue still not solved, please reach us at support@anviz.com. We will check if there’s any proper firmware you can upgrade to.

Best Regards,
Zac

Hello,

Thanks for your answer.

We do not sync the time by our software because we did not find that option in the API documentation.

If you have updated documentation of the API please let me know.

Anyway it seems all work fine since we moved to another NTP server.

Best regards.
