Initial Operation of the c26

The initial operation starts with connecting the power supply (see section 

«Network and Power Connection, Additional 

Cables» in the Q25 Camera Manual

). 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.

1. Configuring and Using the MxIOBoard-IC

The camera will automatically detect an installed 
MxIOBoard-IC (see 

Camera StatusSystem section 

in browser).
The signal inputs can be used right away in the 
signal input profiles in the Setup Menu > Event 

Overview. Likewise, the signal outputs can be used 

in the 

signal output profiles in Admin Menu > 

Hardware Configuration > Signal Out Profiles.
In addition, the signal inputs/outputs have been 
entered automatically in the 

Admin Menu > Assign Wires dialog and can 

be used to control doors and lights.

To use one or both signal outputs not as 
potential-free outputs (for relays), but as 
12 V outputs, open the Admin Menu > Hardware Configuration > Manage 

Hardware Expansions dialog. In the MxBus/IO Board section, click on 

Connect for each output you want to use.

2. Save the configuration

In the live image of the browser, select the 

Manage Settings

 quick con

-

trol and set 

Store Entire Configuration as value. The camera stores the 

configuration in the permanent camera memory so that the settings will 

be applied at the next camera reboot.

Important Notes

Safety Warnings

Notes on Installing:

•  This product must not be used in locations exposed to 

the dangers of explosion.

•  Make sure that you install this product as outlined in the instructions 

of this Quick Install document. 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 qualified 

electrician in accordance with the applicable electrical guide-
lines. 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.
Never touch the lens: Due to the high performance of the 

c26, 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.
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 when opening 
the body to attach wires).

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 c26, 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 

General 

Terms and Conditions apply. You can download the current version of the 

General Terms and Conditions from our website at

Boot Options of the c26

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. Prepare the Camera

•  Disconnect the camera's power supply.
•  Make sure that you have suitable item such as a paper clip at hand, 

but never use sharp or pointed objects!

•  Reconnect the power supply of the camera.

2. Activate the Boot Menu

The red LED lights up 5 to 10 seconds after establish

-

ing the power supply and will stay on for 10 seconds. 

Briefly press the key by inserting the paper clip into 
the hole 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. Select a Boot Option

Press the paper clip longer (> 2 sec) into the hole. The camera confirms the 
selection by flashing rapidly three times. You can now remove the paper 
clip. 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.
