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 out-
lined in the following instruction. For information on reliable SD cards, please see the MOBOTIX website

 in the document 

MicroSD Card Whitelist for MOBOTIX Cameras. If the camera has already been installed, follow the instructions in 

section 

«Uninstalling the Camera».

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

, then lift the back cover upward to 

remove it

.

3. Remove the main board

Release the main board by 

gently

 pressing 

the snap-fit hook beneath the main board 
as indicated by the red arrow.

Caution:

 If the audio package has been 

installed (connector at blue arrow is pres-
ent), make sure that you do not damage 
the speaker cable.

Push the main board out of the housing 
by gently applying pressure onto the lens 
holder (push upward, since the main board 
is tilted 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 

click

.

5. Insert the main board

Insert the lens into the tunnel of the hous-
ing as shown.

Caution:

 If the audio package has been 

installed, make sure that you do not dam-
age the speaker cable.

Put your thumbs onto the two lower screws 
of the main board (red circles) and cautiously 
press on the screws until the main board 
clicks into place.

6. Insert the back cover

Insert the back cover at the bottom 

1

then push shut at the top

 and press 

until it clicks into place.

7. Re-connect the cables

Press the wall sealing onto the back of the 
i25 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.

Insert the Ethernet cable and – if installed – 
the USB cable into the corresponding sockets 
and secure the connectors using the blue 
bayonet catches.

Installation Without Cavity Wall Installation Set

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 i25

Press the wall sealing on the back of the i25 
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 con-
nectors and fasten them using the blue 
bayonet catches.

3. Install the i25

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 
using a torque of 0.4 Nm.

4. Apply screw plugs

Push in the screw plugs to close off the 
holes with the screws. When doing so, 
make sure that the notches in the plugs 
follow the guides.

Installing the MX-Bus-IO-Module

For the i25, you can use the optionally available MX-Bus-IO-Module to attach MxBus devices (e.g., an MX-GPS-Box), 
to attach external sensors using the signal inputs and to switch other devices via the signal outputs.

1.  Insert the MX-Bus-IO-Module

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 two supplied Phillips screws (red arrows 
in figure).

When attaching the connection wires to the 
MX-Bus-IO-Module, 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.
