CAUTION:
Installation Area—Your StoreSafe needs
space around it for ventilation. Make sure
the fans and vents on the sides of the unit
are not obstructed. Install your StoreSafe in
a place where the temperature is always
between 0 and 40 °C (32 and 104 °F) and
has normal humidity (between 10% and
80%). Don’t install the StoreSafe on top of
a hot piece of equipment, and always leave
space between rack-mounted equipment.
Don’t install the StoreSafe near a water
source or anywhere that it will be exposed
to moisture.
CAUTION:
Stacking Equipment—You can place other
equipment on top of the StoreSafe, but
only if it weighs less than 35 lb (16 kg).

cameras to your StoreSafe. Follow the
same instructions for each additional
camera.

5 | Connecting and Powering Up
CAUTION:
Powering Up—For European electrical
systems, use the 220 V power cord
included with your StoreSafe. Make sure
other components, such as cameras and
monitors, have the proper electrical plugs
as well.
To power up your system, you need one electrical outlet for the StoreSafe, one for the monitor,
and one for each connected camera. Power up your system in the following order:
Connecting and Powering Up
1Plug the monitor and camera power cords
into the outlets.
TIP:
Powering Up—When you plug the
StoreSafe power supply into an outlet, the
StoreSafe automatically detects all
connected cameras. The StoreSafe shows
which version of software is installed,
then shows a display of live views from
each connected camera and automatically
begins recording.
2Plug the single-prong end of the StoreSafe
power cord into the power connection on
the back of the StoreSafe.
3Plug the other end of the StoreSafe power
cord into the outlet on the StoreSafe power
supply.
4Plug the StoreSafe power supply cord into
the outlet.
