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 i26,
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 comply
with all data protection regulations for video and sound mon-
itoring when using MOBOTIX products. Depending on national
laws and the installation location of the i26, the recording of video and
sound data may be subject to special documentation or it may be prohib-
ited. 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 i26
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 estab-
lishing 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).

Installation With In-Wall Installation Set (Accessory)
With this type of installation, the mounting plate of the In-Wall Installation Set is screwed onto a cavity wall socket. The i26 itself is screwed onto the
mounting plate using Allen screws. There is no drilling for dowels or screws required.
1. Cut out the hole for the cavity wall socket
Mark the hole for the cavity wall socket (green
circle on drilling template) and cut out the hole.
2. Insert the cavity wall socket
Insert the cavity wall socket and tighten the
two screws (red arrows) in order to fasten the
socket in the wall.
3. Remove the screws
Remove the two screws in the cavity wall socket
(red arrows), which are otherwise used for fas-
tening switches etc.
4. Attach the mounting plate
Use the two screws you just removed to fasten
the mounting plate onto the cavity wall socket.
5. Press wall sealing on i26
Press the wall sealing onto the back of the i26
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.
6. Connect the cables
Guide the cables of the camera from behind
through the cavity wall socket. Insert the Eth-
ernet cable and – if installed – the USB cable
into the corresponding sockets. Secure the
connectors using the blue bayonet catches.
7. Install the i26
Push the remaining cable into the cavity wall
socket, then press the camera and the wall
sealing onto the mounting plate. Use the two
Allen screws with the washers to fasten the i26
onto the mounting plate (0.4 Nm).
8. 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.
Initial Operation of the i26
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 Status, System 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
self-powered 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 as
self-powered output.
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.
