Motion should be getting it from the shell/os setup.
How/what was used to set the timezone on the NAS? So in a terminal date
shows the right timezone and right time?
What does ls -l /etc/timezone point to? Mine points to
../usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Chicago which is a name for CDT timezone I am
in.
If it is just a a file or you want to see what is defined in it do this:
zdump -i /etc/localtime | grep 2021
That will show when the summer transitions happen (in my case from -06 to
-05, and the reverse this year).
If I run that against what I think is your timezone I get this:
zdump -i /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/London | grep -i 2021
2021-03-28 02 +01 BST 1
2021-10-31 01 +00 GMT
If it does not return anything, then remove the grep and rerun. If that
does not return any transitions then the zoneinfo they have is wrong.
there may be a command line tool called tzselect or some other tool to set
the change the timezone.
This gets kind of tricky, since that device will be its own weird
distribution (and every linux distribution does things slightly different).
And the designers may or may not have issues around setting things such as
timezone. They may have simply got the timezone to show up right in
their interface(s) without actually setting the timezone correctly for
anything started from the command line.
There are a number of simple ways to screw up the timezone such that it
does not act correctly from all possible common usages.

That's a great idea that I had not considered. In fact, I may have
everything I need already to assemble one of those. Thanks!
Also, that's an awesome Motion setup you have there. Mine is similar but
probably not as stable. I'd like to compare notes one day.

Another option if you have some unused android phone lying around.. You can
install an app called 'DroidCam'.. It will turn the phone as an IP cam, you
can just access the came using its ip..
