Error: timeZone must be an element of OlsonNames()

[NW]

Hi all,
I am trying to identify independent detection events from a record table created else where. Upon running filterRecordTable I am getting the following error.

I have seen this issue arise a couple of times in this forum but haven't found a solution yet. 
Any help is much appreciated.
Cheers

Hello,

this is odd and I don't understand the issue yet. Can you please:

1) confirm it also happens with the dev version from github:

(install_github("jniedballa/camtrapR", ref = "dev")

2) if the error also happens in the dev version, would you mind sharing a subset of your data (a few records only, enough to reproduce the error) as an R workspace here or via email to the maintainer please, along with the exact code that produces the error?

Thank you
