DateTime = datetime('1900-01-01 00:00:00') + Time/24;

Or taking advantage of the units description to make the code look closer to that description:

Time=[ 692496	692520	692544	692568	692592	692616	692640	692664	692688	692712	692736	692760	692784	692808	692832	692856	692880	692904	692928	692952	692976	693000	693024	693048	693072	693096	693120	693144	693168	693192	693216	693240	693264	693288	693312	693336	693360	693384	693408	693432	693456	693480	693504	693528	693552	693576	693600	693624	693648	693672	693696	693720	693744	693768	693792	693816	693840	693864	693888	693912 ];
dt1 = hours(Time) + datetime(1900, 01, 01); % 'hours since 1900-01-01 00:00:00'
dt2 = datetime('1900-01-01 00:00:00') + Time/24;
isequal(dt1, dt2)

ans = logical
