Q26 Camera Manual: Installation
Lowered Mounting or Mounting on Extensions
When mounting the camera in rooms with a high
ceiling , or outdoors, it may be advisable to mount
the camera in a lower position. This reduces the
distance between the camera and the objects
that are to be monitored, which in turn increases
the recognizability of details. One practical solu-
tion would be to install the camera on a base
plate attached to a suitable extension (metal
tube) hanging from the ceiling. The network cable
can be hidden from view by running through the
interior of the tube.
Similar to lowered mounting from the ceiling,
you can also attach the camera to an extension
mounted to a wall to better use the 360° image
of the camera (e.g. outside, above a portal). Such
an installation would use the pole mount acces-
sory (MX-D22-OPT-MH) in conjunction with the
wall mount (MX-D22-OPT-WH) as a sturdy base
for the camera, which is then mounted to the
extension pole.
MOBOTIX does not recommend attaching the
camera directly to metal carriers, especially when
mounting the camera outdoors or when the
ambient temperature varies greatly. As an addi-
tional measure to protect the camera against
condensation, you should use either the On-Wall
set (MX-D22-OPT-AP) or the Wall Mount (MX-D22-
OPT-WH).
Installation on Building Corners with the
Corner and Pole Mount
This is a special method of Q26 installation,
offering substantial advantages for the outdoor
surveillance of buildings.
The hemispherical lens of a single Q26 can cover
the entire 270° range from one building wall to
the other, for an “around the corner” view!
Never mount the camera
to metal surfaces (conden-
sation may damage the
camera): MOBOTIX recom-
mends using an On-Wall
Mount or the Wall Mount
For the installation on
building corners, the Corner
and Pole Mount and a Wall
Mount will be needed
