Configure Daylight Saving Time (DST)

Use Daylight Saving Time (DST) settings to configure how the site adjusts time. This is especially important for ensuring consistent and accurate time tracking when managing a site with visitors across multiple time zones.

Tip

Watch the following video for a guide to configuring Daylight Saving Time (DST) settings.

Info

Consider the following when reviewing Event Logs.

  • If device time is configured, event log timestamps adjust to each device's DST time.

  • If site time is configured, timestamps adjust according to the site's DST configuration instead of each device.

Customers who began using BioStar Air access control before May 2025 may still be using the Airfob Space app, which has since been rebranded as the Suprema Pass app. Both apps offer identical functionality and are fully compatible. There is no need for existing users to switch — mobile credentials work seamlessly across both.
