i3 International U1 Quick start guide

Brand: i3 International

Model: U1

Type: Quick start guide

i3 International U1 is an integrated Digital Video Management System (DVMS) designed for professional video surveillance applications. It offers a comprehensive suite of features to meet the demands of modern security systems.

With its powerful processing capabilities, U1 can handle multiple high-resolution video streams simultaneously. It supports up to 16 IP cameras, providing a wide field of view and detailed monitoring. The PoE (Power over Ethernet) ports eliminate the need for separate power cables, simplifying installation and reducing clutter.

U1's intuitive user interface makes it easy to navigate and control the system. The live view display provides a real-time overview of all connected cameras, allowing you to quickly identify any suspicious activity. The search mode allows you to filter and playback recorded footage based on specific criteria, such as time, date, or motion detection.

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.
