).

Regarding the 

initial operation

 of the p26, please see the M25 Camera Manual 

in Chapter 3, «Initial Operation».

Installing the Lens (Not for Hemispheric Variants with Lens B016)

The steps listed below are only required if the p26 has been ordered with separate lens for self-mounting (see «Variants of the p26»).

1. Remove the blind cover

Remove the blind cover that protects the image 
sensor during shipping from the lens mount. 
This should be done in a relatively dust-free 
environment.

2. Install the lens

Screw the lens into the lens mount. Depending 
on the physical length of the lens, you can 
use your hand and then the gray lens wrench 
(item 1.9). After initial operation of the camera, 
remember to adjust the focus of the lens (see 
«Initial Operation of the p26» on page 2).

Removing/Installing the Back Cover

The steps listed below are only required if you need to access the inside of the camera housing. 

Make sure the power supply to the camera is discon-

nected before opening the housing!
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 cover

Insert a small screwdriver into one of the holes 
at the side as shown in the figure and gently 
press inward to release the lock. Repeat the 
process for the two other locks and lift the 
back cover from the housing.

2. Follow the procedures

Follow the procedures for the work inside the 
housing as described in the sections listed 
below:

• 

➔ 

Inserting/Exchanging the SD Card

• 

➔ 

Installing the Mx-A-IOA-IC

3. If required, enlarge the cable guide

If the cable guide is not large enough for addi-
tional cables, enlarge the guide accordingly. 
Depending on the size required, break out either 
one or two elements of the cable guide using 
pliers (see blue markings in the figure).

4. Attach back cover

Insert the back cover, so that the large arrow 
(highlighted blue in the figure) is positioned 
in the viewing direction of the camera. Make 
sure the cables and wires are guided properly 
thought the cable guide, then carefully press 
the back cover into the housing until it clicks 
into place.

Inserting/Exchanging the SD Card

All camera models can use the integrated MicroSD card 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 > Docu-

mentation > 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). Follow the instructions in section «Removing/Installing the Back Cover» to access the inside 

of the camera and to close it again after inserting the SD card.

1. Remove the 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.

2. Insert the SD card

Insert the MicroSD card and gently press with 
your finger as indicated by the arrow until you 
hear another 

click

.

Make sure that the SD card is fully inserted.

Installing the Mx-A-IOA-IC      

For the Mx-p26A/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-p26B, you can also attach MxBus devices (e.g., an 
MX-GPS-Box). To facilitate the installation of the module, you should attach the connection wires before inserting the module.

Follow the instructions in section «Removing/Installing the Back Cover» to access the inside of the camera and to close it again 
after inserting the module.

1. Attach the connection cables

Attach the connection cables as shown in the terminal connector overview.

2. Insert the Mx-A-IOA-IC

Hold the Mx-A-IOA-IC with attached connection 
wires over the receptacle on the main board 
(red arrow in figure).
Use one finger to carefully press the board of 
the module onto the receptacle. Make sure that 
the green terminal connector block is pointing 
upward (towards the SD card, see red arrow 
in figure below).

Make sure that the Mx-A-IOA-IC is fully inserted.
Please also make sure that the connection 
wires are guided through the housing without 
tension and in a loop so that the cables do 
not lift the module out of its receptacle when 
adjusting the camera tilt (see figure).
