Hello, The audiomoths are not changing to my computers time when they are connected so it still says 1970. I tried to download the timesetter app but this doesnt work and says it cannot run on my system, is there a reason for this? I have windows 10. If the app wont work on my computer and I cant get the time to configure when I plug it in is it a problem for now as I'm in the field and need to deploy them tomorrow? The files when I take the off the audiomoth are also not in the right order and I have to reorder them based on date modified, but i dont think this is an issue. Thanks. Jenna

Its okay, once I realised it wouldnt change it was easy to manage. I also managed to dounload the timesetter app once I got back to London, it just wouldnt download in Costa Rica! Thank you
Hi Jenna,
Sorry to hear you had problems with this. Yes that's right, AudioMoth will always show UTC to avoid daylight savings and other time zone variations. Thanks, Andy
Andy, I had massive problems with this. My computer is normally set to UTC as I live in London but when I was out in Costa Rica we were 6 hours behind and I set my computer to that but the audio moth was always showing UTC, it would not change to the time of my computer. Am I right in thinking that it wont change?
Jenna.
Thanks Justin, this looks like a useful tool.
Bulk Rename utility can also be used to apply a fixed offset to the file creation/modified times to correct for time zone differences.
Hi Ricardo,
AudioMoth can only be configured to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). This was a design decision to avoid any errors when converting to different time zones. So, you will need to use UTC to make scheduled recordings. I hope this helps.
Thanks,
Andy
Hi Andy, my question is similar to Jenna's and it is related to the time/date configuration. When I open the audiomoth config app in Mac OS, after connecting the recorder, the time and date are showed but without considering the time zone. How can I properly configure the time for my region (-3 hours related to Greenwich). Thank you, Ricardo.
