      abstract     = {NectarCAM is a Cherenkov camera which is going to equip the
                      Medium-Sized Telescopes (MST) of the northern site of the
                      Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO). NectarCAM is
                      equipped with 265 modules, each consisting of 7
                      photo-multiplier tubes (PMTs), a Front-End Board and a local
                      camera trigger system used for data acquisition. This paper
                      addresses the timing performances of NectarCAM which are
                      crucial to reduce the noise in shower images and improve
                      image cleaning as well as to discriminate between gamma-ray
                      photons and cosmic-ray background and finally to allow
                      coincidence identification with neighbouring telescopes for
                      stereoscopic operations. Verification tests of the system
                      have been performed in a dark room using various light
                      sources to illuminate the first NectarCAM unit. The
                      resulting timing precision and accuracy of the trigger
                      arrival relative to a laser source, of individual and
                      multiple pixel signals have been studied and are shown to
                      comply to CTAO requirements.},
