Connections and Initial Operation of the S26
You can find detailed information on the installation and connections of the S26 in the S26 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 S26») and the camera only has one
key ("L"). Regarding the rest of the initial operation of the S26, please see the S26 Camera Manual in Chapter 3, «Initial Operation». The first 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
first login – camera soware V5.1.x and higher).

In special situations, you can attach an external sensor module to the S26. In this case, you need to attach the external sensor module to the "Cam1" con-
nector of the camera; then follow the instructions for attaching sensor modules to the S16. Aer configuring the external sensor module, the integrated
image sensor of the S26 will be deactivated.
Mounting the Camera
1. Installation Using the Base Plate
Attach the camera using the supplied or other screws by aixing the base
plate to a suitable material 1(see «Drilling Template» on page 2).
Note that you can also install the S26 behind faceplates of up to 6.4 mm/0.25 in
thickness using stud bolts 2(see «Drilling Template» on page 2).
2. Installation With AudioMount (Accessory)
Using the self-adhesive AudioMount 3, you can install the Mx-S26B*as
a door station. This is explained in the product documentation «Quick
Install AudioMount» (suitable drilling template is supplied).
*Variant Mx-S26B supports MOBOTIX MxBus modules, door station func-
tionality available with camera soware V5.2.x and higher)

To configure the door station, please follow the procedure in the S26 Camera Manual (PDF, available on www.mobotix.com > Support > Download
Center > Documentation > Manuals).
Note on Variant Mx-S26A: This variant does not support MxBus modules and cannot be used as a full-fledged door station. To implement an intercom
solution based on an Mx-S26A, you can use the signal inputs and outputs of an MX-232-IO-Box connected to the camera via USB. In this case, the camera
uses its standard mechanisms (e.g., events and network messages) to process the input signals (e.g., from a door bell) and to control the signal outputs
(e.g., of a door opener). Please note that the auto configuration and other door station functions are not available in this case.
Inserting/Exchanging the SD Card
All camera models can use the integrated MicroSD card (SDHC) 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.
When replacing the SD card, make sure that recording has been deactivated in the browser (Admin Menu > Storage > Storage
on External File Server / Flash Device; activate recording again in the same dialog).
1. Remove the SD card
Loosen the threaded plug at the top of the
housing (using a suitable coin, for example)
and remove the plug. Using tweezers, gently
press the SD card into the slot (as indicated by
the arrow) until you hear a click. The card is
protruding slightly and can be easily removed
with the tweezers.
2. Insert the SD card
Again using tweezers, insert the SD card as
shown (contacts facing forward) into the card
slot. Make sure that you hear a click again when
pushing the card into the slot. The card is now
locked and can be used. Insert the threaded
plug again and tighten it using the coin.

Boot Options of the S26
By default, the camera starts as DHCP client and automatically tries to get
an IP address from a DHCP server. To start the camera in a mode dierent
from the default mode, you can activate the boot menu of the camera.
1. Preparing the Camera
• Disconnect the camera's power supply.
• Reconnect the power supply of the camera.
2. Activating the Boot Menu
The red LED lights up 5 to 10 seconds aer establishing
the power supply and will stay on for 10 seconds. Briefly
press the key L indicated by the red circle in the figure.
The camera enters the boot menu, ready for selecting
one of the boot options.
The LED now flashes once and repeats the flash signal
aer pausing for one second (the number of flashes
indicates the current boot option). To go to the next boot option, briefly
press the key again (< 1 sec). Aer the last boot option, the camera returns
to the first option (LED flashes once).

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 Chapter 2,
«Installation» of the corresponding manual. 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 fixing elements used.
Electrical installation: Electrical systems and equipment may
only be installed, modified and maintained by a qualified
electrician or under the direction and supervision of a quali-
fied 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 3 W. When attaching modules to the MxBus con-
nector and the USB socket, the power consumption of all attached
modules must not exceed 4 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 S26,
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 without
dome.
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 configuration 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 configured 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 S26, 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
Electrical and electronic products contain many valuable
materials. For this reason, we recommend that you dispose of
MOBOTIX products at the end of their service life in accordance
with all legal requirements and regulations (or deposit these
products at a municipal collection center). MOBOTIX products must not be
disposed of in household waste! If the product contains a battery, please
dispose of the battery separately (the corresponding product manuals
contain specific directions if the product contains a battery).
Disclaimer
MOBOTIX AG does not assume any responsibility for damages,
which are the result of improper use or failure to comply to the
manuals or the applicable rules and regulations. Our General
Terms and Conditions apply. You can download the current version of the
General Terms and Conditions from our website at www.mobotix.com
by clicking on the General Terms and Conditions link at the
