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 Installation 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, modied and maintained by a qualied
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 eects 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 con-
nector and the USB socket, the power consumption of all attached mod
-
ules 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 v26,
the area of the image sensor can get quite hot, especially
when the ambient temperature is also high. This does not
aect 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 conguration 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 congured in the
soware 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 v26, 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 specic directions if the product contains a battery).

Installing the v26 (continued)
10. Install the stainless steel ring of the vandalism set
Vandalism set: When using the vandalism set,
attach the stainless steel ring with the security
screws (torque 0,4 Nm) and use the supplied
screwdriver bit to rmly tighten the screws.
Vandalism set for On-Wall set with audio:
For installing and mounting, please fol-
low the instructions as described in
Quick
Install: Audio On-Wall Set
(www.mobotix.
com > Support > Download Center).
Attach the stainless steel ring with the security
screws. Make sure that the cutout in the stain-
less steel ring tightly ts around the cable tting of the On-Wall set. Use
the supplied screwdriver bit to rmly tighten the screws (torque 0,4 Nm).
Initial Operation
The initial operation starts with connecting the power supply (see section «Network and Power Connection, Additional Cables» in the D25 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 soware V5.1.x and higher).
1. Set the lens
Open the Admin Menu > Hardware Congura-
tion > Lens Conguration 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 the lens focus
Remove the dome before proceeding.
Check the live image from the camera in the browser. Activate the focusing
aid in the browser (Focusing Aid quick control, Activated value).
Carefully turn the lens using the red lens wrench in clockwise or count-
er-clockwise direction until the red area of the
focusing aid in the camera image is as small as
possible.
Once the focus is adjusted properly, deactivate the
focusing aid again (Focusing Aid quick control, Dis-
abled value).
Note: Due to the lens eect of the dome, the focus of the B237 tele lens
is shiing slightly once the dome has been mounted. Before mounting
the dome, the tele lens should be turned about 90° in counter-clockwise
direction (as seen from the lens' front). Make sure that you check the focus
of the live image in your browser with the dome installed and re-adjust
the lens, if required.
3. Congure and use the Mx-A-IOA-IC
Aer starting the camera with installed Mx-A-IOA-IC,
the module is recognized automatically and listed
in the Camera Status browser dialog in the Sys-
tem section.
You can immediately use the signal inputs to
dene signal event proles in Setup Menu > Event
Overview. Likewise, you can immediately use the
signal outputs to dene signal output proles in
Admin Menu > Hardware Conguration > Signal
Out Proles.
In addition, the signal inputs and outputs are automatically listed in the
Admin Menu > Assign Wires dialog so you can use them immediately for
door and light features.
If you want to use one or both signal outputs not as potential-free outputs,
but as 12 V outputs, open the Admin Menu > Hardware Conguration >
Manage Hardware Expansions dialog. In the/IO Board section, click on
Connect for each output you want to use as a self-powered 12 V output.
4. Save the conguration
In the live image of the browser, select the Manage Settings quick control
and set Store Entire Conguration 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
Boot Options of the v26
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 dierent
from the default mode, you can activate the boot menu of the camera.
1. Preparing the Camera
• Remove the outer shell and the dome.
• 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 aer
establishing the power supply and will stay on
for 10 seconds. Briey press th key indicated by
the red circle in the gure. The camera enters
the boot menu, ready for selecting one of the
boot options. To operate the camera key, use a suitable device (e.g., a
screw driver).
The LED now ashes once and repeats the ash signal aer pausing for
one second (the number of ashes indicates the current boot option). To
go to the next boot option, briey press the key again (< 1 sec). Aer the
last boot option, the camera returns to the rst option (LED ashes once).
