Installing the Mx-A-IOA-IC

For the Mx-i26A/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-i26B, 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 
figure to the right).

Carefully push the module board onto the 
receptacle. Secure the module board using 
the supplied Phillips screw (see red arrow in 
figure).

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.

Use the drilling template on the back for this step. Mark the holes for dowels or screws (blue) and the cut-out for the cables 
(red). If required, drill the holes for the dowels, push them in and cut the cut-out for the cables. Guide the Ethernet cable and 
any other cables that are to be connected through the cut-out.

1. Press wall sealing on i26

Press the wall sealing on the back of the i26 
and make sure that it lies flat all around the 
rim. Note that the labels of the sealing are 
pointing toward the back of the camera.

2. Connect the cables

Insert the cables into the appropriate connec-
tors and fasten them using the blue bayonet 
catches.

3. Install the i26

Press the camera and the wall sealing against 
the wall and align the holes with the holes for 
the dowels or screws. Insert the screws with 
washers and tighten them cautiously.

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

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 the cables on the back

Release the blue bayonet catch, then remove 
the patch cable.
If a USB cable is attached, remove this cable 
in the same way.
Lay aside the wall sealing of the camera.

2. Remove the back cover

Insert a suitable device into the hole at the 
top of the back cover as shown until you feel 
resistance.
In order to release the back cover, 

cautiously

 

press upward as indicated by the blue arrow. 
If you are using a flat-head screwdriver, simply 
turn the screwdriver.

Gently pull the back cover a bit backward

downward 15 degrees).
Take care that the lens holder does not catch 
in the tunnel or the snap-fit hook.

4. Remove/insert SD card

If a MicroSD card has been installed, gently 
press with your finger 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 finger as indicated by the arrow until 
you hear the
