Connections and Initial Operation of the V16

You can find detailed information on the 

installation

 and 

connections

 of the V16 in the S15 Camera Manual (PDF, available on 

www.mobotix.com

 > 

Support > Download Center > Documentation > Manuals

).

Please note that the boot options of this camera have changed compared to its predecessor (see «Boot Options of the V16») and the camera only has one 
key ("L"). Regarding the rest of the 

initial operation

 of the V16, please see the S15 Camera Manual in Chapter 3, «Initial Operation». The first 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 
first login – camera software V5.1.x and higher).

Important Notes

Safety Warnings

Notes on Installing:

•  This product must not be used in explosion-hazardous 

locations.

•  Make  sure  that  you  install  this  product  as  outlined  in  Chapter 2, 

«Installation» of the S15 Camera Manual. 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 fixing elements used.

Electrical installation:

 Electrical systems and equipment may 

only  be  installed,  modified  and  maintained  by  a  qualified 
electrician or under the direction and supervision of a quali-
fied electrician in accordance with the applicable guidelines. Make sure 
to properly set up all electrical connections.

Electrical surges: 

MOBOTIX cameras are protected against 

the effects 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 3 W. When attaching modules to the MxBus con-

nector 

and the USB socket, the power consumption of all 

attached modules must not exceed 4 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 V16, 

the area of the image sensor 

can get quite hot

, especially 

when the ambient temperature is also high. This does not 
affect the proper functioning of the camera in any way. For this reason, 
the product must not be installed within the reach of persons without the 
protective lens covers.

Power off 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 con-
necting wires inside the housing). 

Network security: MOBOTIX 

products include all of the nec-

essary configuration 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 configured in the 
software 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 V16, 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 specific directions if the product contains a battery).

Disclaimer

MOBOTIX AG does not assume any responsibility for damages, 
which are the result of improper use or failure to comply to the 
manuals or the applicable rules and regulations. Our

Boot Options of the V16

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 different 
from the default mode, you can activate the boot menu of the camera.

1. Preparing the Camera

•  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 after establishing 
the power supply and will stay on for 10 seconds. Briefly 
press the key L indicated by the red circle in the figure. 
The camera enters the boot menu, ready for selecting 
one of the boot options.
The LED now flashes once and repeats the flash signal 
after pausing for one second (the number of flashes 
indicates the current boot option). To go to the next boot option, briefly 
press the key again (< 1 sec). After the last boot option, the camera returns 
to the first option (LED flashes once).

3. Selecting a Boot Option

Press the key longer (> 2 sec) into the hole. The camera confirms the selec-
tion by flashing rapidly three times. After 20 sec, the camera will confirm 
the selection by playing a sound according to the table above.
If nothing is selected, the camera will resume its normal boot process 
after a certain time.

L

Connecting the Cables (Cont.)

3. Connect additional cables (optional)

Connect additional cables (e.g. for ext. speaker/microphone, MxBus) by 
pushing the individual wires into the 8-wire plug (red circle in figure). For 
additional information on this topic, see the S15 Camera Manual in Section 
2.2.8, «External Audio Support».

4. Take care when routing the cables

Make sure that all cables are routed in such a way that they are not dam-
aged between the front plate and the housing when inserting and closing 
the front plate. For example, you can use a cable tie (red circle in figure) 
to hold the cables together.
