IP Master Clocks & Time Servers

IP Master Clocks and Time Servers provide a single, trusted time source for clocks, servers, security systems, IP network devices, AV systems, etc. By keeping every system aligned, they help improve operational accuracy, event logging & compliance. These solutions centralise time synchronisation across your organisation and reduce the risk of drift between devices. Accurate time is critical for security footage, access control records, server logs, scheduled events, automation processes, and network operations.

Master Clock vs Time Server

A master clock is traditionally used to control and distribute time to secondary clocks and related systems throughout a facility. It is commonly deployed in schools, hospitals, transport hubs, public buildings, and industrial sites where multiple clocks must stay perfectly in sync.

A time server is primarily designed to deliver accurate time across an IP network to devices such as servers, switches, fire panels, CCTV systems, access control platforms, AV systems, and industrial controllers.

Choosing the Right Solution

The best solution depends on what you need to synchronise. If your priority is keeping wall clocks and facility time displays aligned, a master clock may be the right fit. If you need accurate network time for servers, security, and IP network devices, a time server is often the better choice. We supply a range of IP Master Clocks and Time Servers to suit schools, commercial buildings, industrial facilities, and critical infrastructure projects.
