Grounding and polarization - This unit may be fitted with a polarized alternating current line
plug (a plug with one blade wider than the other blade). This safety feature allows the plug to
fit into the power outlet in only one way. If unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet,
contact a locally certified electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the polarized plug.
Alternatively, this unit may be fitted with a 3-pole grounding plug (a plug with a third pin for
earth grounding). This safety feature allows the plug to fit into a grounded power outlet only.
If unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact a locally certified electrician to replace the
obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding plug.

Moving - Disconnect the power before moving the unit. Move the unit with care.
Permanently connected equipment - Incorporate a readily accessible disconnect device in the

building installation wiring.
Pluggable equipment - Install the socket outlet near the equipment so it is easily accessible.
Power disconnect - Units have power supplied whenever the power cord is inserted into the
power source. The power cord is the main power disconnect for all units.
Power lines - Do not locate the camera near overhead power lines, power circuits, electrical
lights, or anywhere where it might come into contact with power lines, circuits, or lights.

SELV

All the input/output ports are Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) circuits. SELV circuits should
only be connected to other SELV circuits.
Because the ISDN circuits are treated like telephone-network voltage, avoid connecting the
SELV circuit to the Telephone Network Voltage (TNV) circuits.
Video loss - Video loss is inherent to digital video recording; therefore, Bosch Security
Systems cannot be held liable for any damage that results from missing video information. To
minimize the risk of lost digital information, Bosch Security Systems recommends multiple,
redundant recording systems, and a procedure to back up all analog and digital information.
