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 Chapter 2,
«Installation» of the corresponding 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 electrical 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 2,5 W. When attaching modules to the MxBus
connector
and the USB socket, the power consumption of all attached
modules must not exceed 3 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
M26, 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
lens cover.
Power off before opening the camera:
Make sure the power
supply to the camera is disconnected before opening the
camera housing (e.g., when inserting or exchanging lenses,
lens units and SD cards).
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 M26, 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 valid regulations and comply with these
laws. MOBOTIX AG is not liable for any illegal use of its products.
1. 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).
2. 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 M26
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.
• 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. Activating the Boot Menu
The right LED lights up red 5 to 10 seconds after
establishing 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).

System
Starts the camera with the recovery sys-
tem, e.g., in order to recover from a failed
update of the camera software.

*Only on cameras with audio option and installed speaker.
3. Selecting 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.
Initial Operation of the M26
The initial operation starts with connecting the power supply (see section «Network and Power Connection, Additional Cables» in the M25 Camera Manual).
The first access follows the procedure described in the same manual in the «Initial Operation of the Camera» section. All other tasks require access to the
camera's user interface in the browser. Enter the camera’s IP address in the address bar of the browser (user "admin", password "meinsm"; password must
be changed upon first login – camera software V5.1.x and higher).
1. Set installed lens (only when exchanging)
Open the
Admin Menu > Hardware Configura-
tion > Lens Configuration
dialog and select the
installed lens. This step is required to select the
proper special functions of the installed lens (e.g.,
for wide-angle lenses).
2. Adjust lens focus (if required)
This step is only necessary if the lens has been
installed for the first time or exchanged. In cameras
with a MX-B016 ("Hemispheric") lens, the lens has
been focused at the factory. Remove the dome
before proceeding.
Check the live image from the camera in the browser. Activate the focusing
aid in the browser (
Focusing Aid
quick control,
Activated
value).
Carefully turn the lens by hand in clockwise or counter-clockwise direction
until the red area of the focusing aid is as small as possible.
Once the focus is adjusted properly, deactivate the focusing aid again
(
Focusing Aid
quick control,
Disabled
value).
3. Save the configuration
In the live image of the browser, select the
Manage Settings
quick control
and set
Store Entire Configuration
as value. The camera stores the con-
figuration in the permanent camera memory so that the settings will be
applied at the next camera reboot.
