First let me say this cam is not an easy task to get setup. This may be because I do not have internet on the router it's intended to work with. It took me an act of congress just to get the cam viewable using free ispy (4 days is not easy setup).

That being said I can not set the date and time on the cam. When running the Wifi/Ethernet setup after being prompted to enter a password and recovery email, the camera and android phone or android tablet becomes disconnected from the cam as it's now connected via wifi into the router. There needs to be an option to set the date and time BEFORE you enter a password and recovery email. (The other option is to disable it displaying the date and time in the cam's firmware but the end user can enable it with the app.)
Additional notes: The cam does not like it's password nor any wifi it connects to using symbols. I systematically went through this (1)Hardware (2)Network (3)Firmware and android app. The app says it supports alpha, numeric, symbol. NOPE! I got error after error. It instantly connected after changing my router's 2Ghz password to non symbol. When prompted I used non symbol password for the cam.
One of the first give aways ....it does not like passwords or wifi passwords that use symbols.In (yuck!!) visual studio and .net you can't encase a parenthesis like this """ it has to be """". This is the difference between an experienced coder and a novice. The same thing applies in most other coding languages. In Bash # gets usually seen as the coder's comments. I suspect android studio has some of the same issues.
An experienced expert coder would have added error handling to prevent such things from happening.
(Such as 'unterminated string error' ....expected ")
In lamen terms that could mean the code saw the " in the password and mistook it as a string and expects the string to have a " at the end of it.
When prompted though it specifically says alpha, numeric and symbol.
