INSTALLATION

Time Zone Adjustment

All NVR units sold by i3 international are pre-set to Eastern Time zone (GMT 
-5:00). It is 

imperative

 that you configure the time zone setting on the first 

system start up. If the NVR is later re-located to a different time zone, this 
setting must be changed once again. All previously-recorded data must be 
formatted after each time zone change. Failure to do so may result in system 
malfunction.
Once the SRX-Pro Server starts for the first time, the message bellow will be 
displayed. Click 

Yes

 if the NVR is installed in the Eastern Time zone (GMT -5:00) 

Click 

No 

if the NVR is installed in a different time zone - this will halt the SRX-

Pro software startup and allow you an opportunity to set the time zone.

If the NVR is being installed in a different time zone, follow the instructions below:
1. 

On Windows Desktop, click on the System Time in the bottom right-hand corner.

2. 

In the calendar window, click 

Change date and time settings.

3. 

In Date and Time tab, click on 

Change time zone

 button and select the correct  

time zone in the drop down list.

Important:

 Please use the installation guides that came with your IP cameras 

to install the cameras as needed. 

The U1 is built in a 1.5U chassis for convenient Rackmount installation.

Follow safety precautions when selecting an installation location for your U1 

NVR. 

1.  Using supplied screws to secure the provided rack brackets to the U1 unit, 

then install the U1 NVR into the server rack.

2.  Make sure the Power Switch is in the OFF position.

3.  Ensure the power source is located within 1 meter (3 feet) from the UPS.

4.  Ensure the system and its connecting cables have sufficient space and 

that the system is placed on an even surface (shelf or Rackmount).

5.  Wait until the system is at room temperature before switching it on.

6.  Plug the supplied USB mouse and the USB Keyboard into the USB ports on 

the front panel of the machine.

7.  Plug in the monitor. Depending on the monitor model, use either the HDMI 

(#7) or the VGA (#8) port on the back panel of the machine.

8.  Connect all IP cameras into the RJ45 PoE ports (#1).

9.  Connect your Sensor Inputs signal cables (where applicable) to RS-485 

block (#10) on the rear panel of the machine. Using a pointed object, press 

and hold the orange toggle portion of the D+ and D- RS-485 terminals 

and insert the correct Sensor signal cables into the slots below. Release 

the orange toggle to secure the cables in place. Ensure a secure and tight 

cable connection.

10.  Connect your Audio IN (#5) and OUT (#6) devices, if using, to the 

corresponding RCA connectors on the rear panel.

11.  To connect the NVR to your network plug the Network cable into the 

Network Port (#4) on the rear panel of the NVR and then plug the other 

end into the Network.

12.  Connect the provided power cable to the DC Power Supply connector 

(#12) and then plug it into the UPS unit.

13.  Plug the UPS unit into the wall Power supply. Use of the UPS 

(Uninterrupted Power Supply) is highly recommended by i3 for added 

reliability and longevity of your NVR.

14.  Flip Power Switch (#11) into the ON position. The DVR will power on and 

the front panel LEDs light up.

4. 

Click OK. Click OK again to close Date and Time window.
