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 this
manual. A faulty installation can damage the camera!
• When installing this product, make sure that you are only using genuine 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 qual-
ied electrician in accordance with the applicable electrical guidelines. Make sure to prop-
erly 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 cam-
era cannot power any peripheral devices!
Never touch the lenses: Due to the high performance of the D26, the area of the image
sensors 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 without the dome.
Powerobeforeopeningthecamera: Make sure the power supply to the camera is dis-
connected before opening the camera housing (e.g., when inserting or exchanging lenses,
sensor modules and SD cards).

themselves with all applicable regulations and to comply with these laws. MOBOTIX AG is
not liable for any illegal use of its products.
NOTES ON SYSTEM SECURITY (“CYBER SECURITY”)

D26 Camera Manual
FOREWORD
Dear MOBOTIX customer,
Congratulations on your decision to purchase a professional and modern HiRes network
camera “Made in Germany”! The D26 Dome is a complete decentralized system that has a
high-performance processor, integrated soware, an array of sensors and a digital SD
card video recorder for long-term storage.
The numerous, easily interchangeable lens options of the D26 provide for solu-
tions that can be tailored for many dierent application scenarios. This robust
dome camera (IP66) can also be ordered with optional Vandalism, On-Wall
and In-Ceiling sets.
The weatherproof MxBus and MiniUSB interfaces of the camera allow attaching
MOBOTIX interface boxes and standard devices, such as 3G/UMTS modems, external
storage devices, etc. The pre-installed MicroSD card ash storage is easily exchanged
for larger storage requirements, providing for secure long-term storage.
The introduction of the newest image sensor technology with increased light sensitivity
provides brilliant images with image sizes of up to 3072x2048 pixels, thus delivering color
images of higher quality under lowlight conditions.
You can download the MxManagementCenter video management soware for MOBOTIX
cameras from the MOBOTIX website: www.mobotix.com > Support > Download Center >
