On occasion, we all need to know the time and we have a multitude of different devices to tell us it, from our mobile phones and wrist watches to the office wall clock or the chimes on the radio news. But how accurate are all these clocks and does it matter if they are all telling different times?
For our day-to-day business it probably doesn't matter too much. If the office wall clock is a faster than your wrist-watch your boss probably won't fire you for being a Minute too late, but when it comes to the resolution of criminal proceedings, the timing is everything!
Take the case of Joan Beddeson, a 71-year-old found murdered in her home in Macclesfield. The chief suspect, her former lover, who denies the victim guilty about one quarter of one million pounds, 64-year-old John Crittenden, the killing and claimed he was at home in bed with his wife at the time of the murder.
However, the police had a credit card statement, which showed that fuel had been bought Crittenden, discoveredWorcester only a few hours before the killing and was later a camera 12 minutes drive on the highway in the direction of Macclesfield discovered. Later that night the same car was recorded coming back on the highway of Crittenden with a 45-minute window to commit his crimes.
However, during his trial Denied Crittenden, authorized the purchase of fuel, you drive on the highway and claimed that the cameras were not correct. However, all synchronized cameras with an NTP server was(Network Time Protocol) to Universal Coordinated Time (UTC) and was so accurate that Crittenden had no defense lawyers, and he was convicted of murder and sent to prison for life.
Time synchronization is not only important in securing convictions, it may also prove someone's innocence! If a woman was found murdered in Maryland, United States, thought the police were the perpetrators, the victims were found, the bank card used at ATMs. A check at the local CCTV cameras supplied materialof the three suspects with the machine and although the quality was pretty grainy, even on America's Most Wanted, the three suspects were quickly rounded up broadcast.
However, it emerged that the time with the camera recorded three minutes before the time recorded by the ATM and the three people held were a very innocent, but not with whom he is linked to murder in general.
The investigators conceded that if the camera had to a reliable source, such as the ATM machine, synchronized, then theunlawful arrest was not made.
The above examples underscore the importance of reliable time synchronization. Even if a company does not synchronize in the detection of crime, otherwise, a computer network is a system left vulnerable to fraud, data loss and even legal exposure, and without it, companies may be vulnerable and will lose credibility.
Specialist NTP time servers (Network Time Protocol) is available and can be a computer network and then synchronize allDevices are synchronized to an accurate clock source as an atomic clock with either the GPS or a specialist radio networks enables accurate to Universal Coordinated Time (UTC)
