park-buzi field observation: after a power cut the Hikvision cameras
reboot at the 1970 epoch (no/dead RTC battery, no NTP) and stay there
until a human logs into the web UI (which silently pushes the browser
clock) — corrupting the snapshot OSD timestamps (the evidence trail) and
ANPR push times meanwhile.
The host is the site's time authority (offline-first, no NTP infra):
- Device monitor triggers a sync at each camera's offline→ready edge —
exactly the power-restored moment — plus a 24h backstop; the attempt
is stamped before the async call so a failing camera retries at
backstop cadence, never every poll.
- HikvisionCamera.syncClock: GET /ISAPI/System/time; drift ≤60s → leave
alone; beyond (or unparseable = infinite drift) → PUT timeMode=manual
with the site wall-clock now WITH explicit utc offset
(localIsoWithOffset), echoing the camera's timeZone verbatim — correct
the clock, never fight its tz/DST config.
- Jumps >1h (the power-cut signature) log warn (persisted to app_logs);
small corrections info. Capability-guarded (isClockSyncable) —
hikvision only; dahua's CGI has no such endpoint.
- http-digest generalised to digestRequest (GET/PUT/POST + body); the
handshake was already method-aware. digestGet delegates unchanged.
8 new tests: in-sync no-op, 1970 PUT shape (manual + host instant +
echoed tz), unparseable→sync, failed-set surfaces, dahua non-capability,
DST-both-sides pins on the offset formatter.

Replace the camera stub with HttpCamera: Hikvision ISAPI and Dahua CGI
snapshots over client-side HTTP Digest (new drivers/http-digest.ts).
healthCheck() now pulls a real frame instead of returning ready/stub.
Snapshot carries bytes (driver fetches); storage/imageRef is the caller's
job, keeping the adapter free of storage deps.
Fix the cosmetic Backend-push-IP field: add pushesToBackend to DeviceDriver
(only Dingtian sets it), expose as pushCapable in the catalog, and gate the
wizard's backend-IP fetch + field on it so pull-only devices hide it.
Verified on hardware (Hikvision 10.0.10.121): healthCheck ready,
captureSnapshot returns a valid JPEG.
