You can nd detailed information on the installation and connections of
the c26 in the Q25 Camera Manual (PDF, available on www.mobotix.com >
Support > Download Center > Documentation > Manuals).
Please note that the boot options of this camera have changed compared
to its predecessor (see «Boot Options of the c26») and the camera only has
one key. Regarding the rest of the initial operation of the c26, please see
the Q25 Camera Manual in Chapter 3, «Initial Operation».
Use a suitable device for operating the camera key (e.g., an opened paper
clip).
Installing the Mx-A-IOA-IC
For the Mx-c26A/B, you can use the optionally available Mx-A-IOA-IC to attach external sensors using the signal inputs
and to switch other devices via the signal outputs. When used with the the Mx-c26B, you can also attach MxBus devices
(e.g., an MX-GPS-Box).
1. Insert the Mx-A-IOA-IC
On the back of the camera, remove the sticker
that protects the receptacle and the camera’s
interior from collecting dirt (see red arrow in
gure to the right).
Carefully push the module board onto the
receptacle. Secure the module board using
the supplied Phillips screw (see red arrow in
gure).
When attaching the connection wires to the
Mx-A-IOA-IC, make sure the wires are guided to
the module without tension (you could apply
a cable tie and tie the wires to the network
cable, for example).
2. Attach the connection cables
Attach the connection wires as shown in the terminal connector overview.

Inserting/Exchanging the SD Card
All camera models can use the integrated MicroSD card (SDXC) to record video data. In order to exchange the MicroSD card, please proceed as outlined
in the following instruction. For information on reliable SD cards, please see the MOBOTIX website www.mobotix.com > Support > Download Center >
Documentation > White Lists in the document MicroSD Card Whitelist for MOBOTIX Cameras. If the camera has not yet been installed, skip step 1.
Caution: In order to avoid damage from electrostatic discharge, you should touch a grounded device before opening the housing of the camera (e.g., the
blank metal at the back of a computer). This will remove any static electricity that may have built up.
1. Remove camera, remove cables
Pull the camera from its position by gently pulling
the camera downward on one side, then the other
side. Take care NOT to let the spring clips snap
forward (risk of injury!). Remove all cables that
are attached to the connectors on the back side.
2. Locate the locks
In order to remove the back plate, you will need
to push the delivered disassembly tool (item 1.9)
into the three holes on the back one aer the
other to release the locks (see red circles in gure).
3. Remove back plate
Insert the disassembly tool into a lock and press
rmly until you feel a perceptible resistance 1.
Gently push against the nearest spring clip to push
the lock out of its seat and to li the back plate
from the housing 2.
Repeat the process for the two other locks and
cautiously li the back plate from the housing.
4. Remove/insert SD card
If a MicroSD card has been installed, gently
press with your nger as indicated by the arrow
until you hear a click. Then release the SD
card. The card is protruding slightly and can
be easily removed.
Insert the new MicroSD card and gently press
with your nger as indicated by the arrow until
you hear the click.
5. Attach back plate
Make sure that the SD card is properly locked
in place, since the card can be damaged oth-
erwise. Begin by inserting the wide lock (next
to the SD card) into the camera housing as
shown. From the factory, the lock and the cor-
responding slot are highlighted by color mark.
Make sure that the two other locks are also
properly positioned, then press the back plate
into its seat until you hear all three locks click
into place.
6. Re-connect the cables
Insert the Ethernet cable and – if installed – the
USB cable into the corresponding sockets and
secure the connectors using the blue bayonet
catches.
Press the spring clips back and insert the
camera into its original mounting position
(see «Installing the c26»).
To nish, make sure that the camera image is properly aligned: If required,
cautiously turn the camera to adjust image alignment.

Installing the c26
Use the drilling template on the back for this purpose (red circle) or draw a circle with 105 mm/4.13 in diameter for the cut-out. Cut
out the hole for the camera, then guide the Ethernet cable and any other cables you want to attach to the camera through the hole.
1. Connect the cables
Insert the cables into the appropriate connec-
tors and fasten them using the blue bayonet
catches.
Make sure that the camera points into the
desired direction: The icon on the back (black
arrow) shows the "up" direction of the image.
2. Install the c26
Press the spring clips back and insert the c26
into the hole for the camera. The spring clips
will snap outwards, thus rmly holding the
camera in place.
Make sure that you only press back the spring
clips as shown in the image. Do not press them
back any further as the springs may snap out
of their xtures otherwise.

Removing the c26
1. Pull out the camera
Pull the camera from its position by gently pull-
ing the camera downward on one side, then
the other side. Take care NOT to let the spring
clips snap forward (risk of injury!).
2. Remove the cables
Remove the cables coming from the building (network cable, USB cable,
MxBus and signal input/output wires). Pull out the camera.
Initial Operation of the c26
The initial operation starts with connecting the power supply (see section «Network and Power Connection, Additional Cables»
in the Q25 Camera Manual). The rst access follows the procedure described in the same manual in the section «Initial Operation
of the Camera». All other tasks require access to the camera’s user interface in the browser. Enter the camera’s IP address into the
address bar of the browser (user "admin", password "meinsm"; password must be changed upon rst login – camera soware
V5.1.x and higher).
1. Conguring and Using the Mx-A-IOA-IC
The camera will automatically detect an installed
Mx-A-IOA-IC (see Camera Status, System section
in browser).
The signal inputs can be used right away in the
signal input proles in the Setup Menu > Event
Overview. Likewise, the signal outputs can be used
in the signal output proles in Admin Menu >
Hardware Conguration > Signal Out Proles.
In addition, the signal inputs/outputs have been entered automatically in
the Admin Menu > Assign Wires dialog and can be used to control doors
and lights.
To use one or both signal outputs not as potential-free outputs (for relays),
but as 12 V outputs, open the Admin Menu > Hardware Conguration >
Manage Hardware Expansions dialog. In the MxBus/IO Board section,
click on Connect for each output you want to use.
2. Save the conguration
In the live image of the browser, select the Manage Settings quick control
and set Store Entire Conguration as value. The camera stores the con-
guration in the permanent camera memory so that the settings will be
applied at the next camera reboot.

Important Notes
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 the instructions
of this Quick Install document. A faulty installation can damage the
camera!
• When installing this product, make sure that you are only using gen-
uine MOBOTIX parts and MOBOTIX connection cables.
• Only install this product on suitable, solid materials that 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 accordance with the applicable electrical guidelines.
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 electrical surges occur. Special care should
be taken when installing the camera outside of buildings to ensure proper
protection against lightning, since this also protects the building and the
whole network infrastructure.
Max. power consumption of attached extension modules:
The power consumption of all attached MxBus modules must
not exceed 2,5 W. When attaching modules to the MxBus
connector and 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 attached modules
must not exceed 1 W!
Never touch the lens: Due to the high performance of the c26,
the area of the image sensor can get quite 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 installed within the reach of persons.
Power o before opening the camera: Make sure the power
supply to the camera is disconnected before opening the
camera housing (e.g., when exchanging the SD card or when
opening the body to attach wires).
Network security: MOBOTIX products include all of the nec-
essary conguration options for operation in Ethernet net-
works in compliance with data protection laws. The operator
is responsible for the data protection concept across the entire system.
The basic settings required to prevent misuse can be congured in the
soware and are password-protected. This prevents unauthorized parties
from accessing these settings.
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 c26, the recording of
video and sound data may be subject to special documentation or it may
be prohibited. All users of MOBOTIX products are therefore required to
familiarize themselves with all applicable regulations and to comply with
these laws. MOBOTIX AG is not liable for any illegal use of its products.
Disposal
