Note that drives/partitions C:\ and D:\ are not available for video recording, therefore the system must have at least one
additional drive/partition to be allocated for video recording. For more information on allocation process and SRX-Pro
storage structure, please read Storage Setup section.
If upgrading from the SRX-Pro Server version 1.405 or lower, make sure to install all required components first.
The SRX-Pro Server may be upgraded the traditional way (no internet connection required) or via Server Update function
(internet connection required).
