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 outlined
in the following instruction. For information on reliable SD cards, please see the MOBOTIX website www.mobotix.com > Support > Download Center >
Documentation > White Lists in the document MicroSD Card Whitelist for MOBOTIX Cameras. If the camera has not yet been installed, skip step 1.
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 camera, remove cables
Pull the camera from its position by gently pulling
the camera downward on one side, then the other
side. Take care NOT to let the spring clips snap
forward (risk of injury!). Remove all cables that
are attached to the connectors on the back side.
2. Locate the locks
In order to remove the back plate, you will need
to push the delivered disassembly tool (item 1.9)
into the three holes on the back one after the
other to release the locks (see red circles in figure).
3. Remove back plate
Insert the disassembly tool into a lock and press
firmly until you feel a perceptible resistance
Gently push against the nearest spring clip to push
the lock out of its seat and to lift the back plate
2
from the housing .
Repeat the process for the two other locks and
cautiously lift the back plate from the housing.
Installing the Mx-A-IOA-IC
For the Mx-c26A/B, you can use the optionally available Mx-A-IOA-IC to attach external sensors using the signal inputs
and to switch other devices via the signal outputs. When used with the the Mx-c26B, you can also attach MxBus devices
(e.g., an MX-GPS-Box).
1. Insert the Mx-A-IOA-IC
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 supplied Phillips screw (see red arrow in
figure).
When attaching the connection wires to the
Mx-A-IOA-IC, 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).
Installing the c26
Use the drilling template on the back for this purpose (red circle) or draw a circle with 105 mm/4.13 in diameter for the cut-out. Cut
out the hole for the camera, then guide the Ethernet cable and any other cables you want to attach to the camera through the hole.
1. Connect the cables
Insert the cables into the appropriate connec-
tors and fasten them using the blue bayonet
catches.
Make sure that the camera points into the
desired direction: The icon on the back (black
arrow) shows the "up" direction of the image.
Removing the c26
1. Pull out the camera
Pull the camera from its position by gently pull-
ing the camera downward on one side, then
the other side. Take care NOT to let the spring
clips snap forward (risk of injury!).
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 (user "admin", password "meinsm"; password must be changed upon first login – camera software
V5.1.x and higher).
1. Configuring and Using the Mx-A-IOA-IC
The camera will automatically detect an installed
Mx-A-IOA-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.

You can find detailed information on the installation and connections of
the c26 in the Q25 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 c26») and the camera only has
one key. Regarding the rest of the initial operation of the c26, please see
the Q25 Camera Manual in Chapter 3, «Initial Operation».
Use a suitable device for operating the camera key (e.g., an opened paper
clip).
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. Attach back plate
Make sure that the SD card is properly locked
in place, since the card can be damaged oth-
erwise. Begin by inserting the wide lock (next
to the SD card) into the camera housing as
shown. From the factory, the lock and the cor-
responding slot are highlighted by
Make sure that the two other locks are also
properly positioned, then press the back plate
into its seat until you hear all three locks click
into place.

2. Remove the cables
Remove the cables coming from the building (network cable, USB cable,
MxBus and signal input/output wires). Pull out the camera.
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),
Output 1
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.
