The start and end dates for Daylight Savings Time in the United States, as well as several other countries, will be changing in 2007 as required by the United States “Energy Policy Act of 2005”. This utility will update the world time zone/daylight savings time information stored in the system database(s) for these changes.

 

This update will ONLY work upon HBV400 systems that are installed on the following Microsoft Operating Systems: Windows XP with Service Pack 2, Windows 2003, or Windows 2003 with Service pack 1. (Please note that ALL machines running any HBV400 software must meet these OS requirements.)

 

If you are running Stanley HBV400 software that does not meet the criteria above you will need to contact our National Service Center at nsc@stanleyworks.com or 877-SS1-4YOU (877-771-4968) for additional assistance in updating your product to be compatible with the new 2007 Daylight Savings Time rules.

 

Stanley Security Solutions HBV400 software gains its world timezone information from the Windows computer upon which the communications server is installed. Therefore to update HBV400 software to be compatible with the new Daylight Savings Time start and end dates, you will need to install the appropriate Microsoft DST update for windows.

 

Please verify that all Microsoft Windows devices are updated using patches or methods supplied by Microsoft. Devices that must be upgraded include all servers, clients, Intelligent Video servers, video recorders, and other servers such as archive and database servers.

 

For more information on these patches you can visit http://support.microsoft.com/gp/dst_topissues

If you wish to download the patches directly you may visit http://support.microsoft.com/kb/931836

 

Stanley Security Solutions Technical Support Group cannot provide support for updating the world time zones in Microsoft Windows operating systems.

 

Once you have applied the Microsoft patch for Daylight Savings Time to a computer that have Stanley Security Solutions HBV400 software installed upon them you will need reboot that machine. This step will complete the update to comply with the new dates for Daylight Savings Time.
