Start by removing the two rubber plugs that
protect the fastening screws. Next, unscrew
the two fastening screws of the weatherproof
housing using the supplied Allen wrench 5 mm
(item 1.7), but do not remove the screws
2.Remove camera from weatherproof housing
Press the camera from the housing by gently
applying pressure on the screws in alternating
fashion from the rear using the long shank of
the Allen wrench. Unscrew the fasteningscrews
once the camera is free from the housing
3.Complete the tasks
Follow the procedures forthe work inside the
housing as described in the M25 Camera Manual
in Chapter 2, «Installation» (e.g., connecting
additional wires, exchanging the SD card).
4.Insert the camera into the weatherproof housing
Start by inserting the camera into the weath-
erproof housing. Press the camera back into
the housing and take care not tosquee zeand
damage any wires inside the housing.
5.Tighten the retaining screws
Aix the camera in the weatherproof housing
using the two retaining screws.
Finally, push in the two rubber plugs that pro-
tect the retaining screws.
Mounting Options of the M26
1. Mounting to a Wall
When installing the M26 on a wall, for example, simply aix the pre-installed

screws and washers.
The camera can be turned or tilted180° horizontally and 110° vertically
(from –90° to +20°).
2. Mounting to a Ceiling
By exchanging the wall mount for the separately supplied ceiling mount,
the M26 is ready to be mounted toceilings in just a few easy steps thanks
to the VarioFlex system.
The camera can be turned or tilted360° horizontally and 110° vertically
(from –90° to +20°).
3. Mounting to Poles (With Accessories)
If you want to mount the camerato a pole with a diameter from 60 to 180 mm,
you should consider using the PoleMount (MX-MH-SecureFlex-ESWS) made
from white powder-coated stainless steel.
Just like when mounting to a wall, the camera can be turned 180°
horizontally and tilted 110° vertically (from –90° to +20°).

Important Notes
1.Safety Warnings
Notes on Installing:
• This product must not be used in locations exposed to
the dangers of explosion.
• Make sure that you install this product as outlined in
Chapter 2, «Installation» of the corresponding manual.
A faulty installation can damage the camera!
• When installing this product, make sure that youare only
using genuine MOBOTIX parts and MOBOTIXconnection
cables.
• Only install this product on suitable, solid materialsthat
provide for a sturdy installation of the xing elements
used.
Electrical installation: Electrical systems and equipment may
only be installed, modied and maintained by a qualied
electrician or under the direction and supervision of a qualied
electrician in accordancewith the applicable electrical guide-
lines. Make sure to properly set up all electrical connections.
Electrical surges: MOBOTIX cameras are protected against
the eects of small electrical surges by numerous measures.
These measures, however, cannot prevent the camera from
being damaged when stronger electricalsurges occur. Special
care should be taken when installing the camera outside of
buildings to ensure proper protectionagainst lightning, since
this also protects the building and the whole network infra-
structure.
Max. power consumption of attached extensionmodules:
The power consumption of all attached modules must not
exceed 2.5 W. When attaching modules to the USB socket,
the power consumption of all attached modules must not
exceed 3 W, if the camera is powered by PoE class 3. If PoE
class 2 is used, the power consumption of all attachedmod-
ules must not exceed 1 W!
Never touch the lens: Due to the high performance of the
M26, the area of the image sensor can getquite hot, especially
when the ambient temperature is also high. This does not
aect the proper functioning of the camera in any way. For
this reason, the product must not be installedwithin the reach
of persons without the lens cover.
Power o before opening the camera: Make surethe power
supply to the camera is disconnectedbefore opening the cam-
era housing (e.g., when inserting or exchanging lenses, lens
units and SD cards).
Network security: MOBOTIX products include all of the nec-
essary conguration options for operation in Ethernet net-
works in compliance with data protectionlaws. The operator
is responsible for the data protectionconcept across the entire
system. The basic settings required to prevent misuse canbe
congured in the soware and are password-protected. This
prevents unauthorized parties from accessing these settings.
2.Legal Notes
Legal aspects of video and sound recording: You must com-
ply with all data protection regulations for video and sound
monitoring when using MOBOTIX products. Depending on
national laws and the installation location of the M26, the
recording of video and sound data may be subject to special

3.Selecting a Boot Option
Press the paper clip longer (> 2 sec) into the hole. The camera conrms the
selection by ashing rapidly three times. You can now remove the paper
clip. Aer 20 sec, the camera will conrm the selection by playing a sound
according to the table above.
If nothing is selected, the camera will resume its normal boot process
aer a certain time.
Initial Operation of the M26
The initial operation starts with connectingthe power supply (see section «Network and PowerConnection, Additional Cables» in the M25 Camera Manual).
The rst access follows the procedure described in the same manual in the «Initial Operation of the Camera» section. All other tasks require access to
the camera's user interface in the browser. Enter the camera’s IP address in the address bar of the browser.
1.Set installed lens (only when exchanging)
Open the Admin Menu > Hardware Congura-
tion > Lens Conguration dialog and select the
installed lens. This step is required to select the
proper special functions of the installed lens (e.g.,
for wide-angle lenses).
2.Adjust lens focus (if required)
This step is only necessary if the lens has been
installed for the rst time or exchanged. In cameras
with a MX-B016 ("Hemispheric") lens, the lens has
been focused at the factory. Remove the dome
before proceeding.
Check the live image from the camerain the browser. Activate the focusing
aid in the browser (Focusing Aid quick control, Activated value).
Carefully turn the lens by hand in clockwise or counter-clockwise direction
until the red area of the focusing aid is as small as possible.
Once the focus is adjusted properly, deactivate the focusing aid again
(Focusing Aid quick control, Disabled value).
3.Save the conguration
In the live image of the browser, select the Manage Settings quick con-
trol and set Store Entire Conguration as value. The camera stores the
conguration in the permanent camera memor y so that the settings will
be applied at the next camera reboot.
