All camera models can use the integrated MicroSD card 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 > Docu-
mentation > White Lists in the document MicroSD Card Whitelist for MOBOTIX Cameras.
When replacing the SD card, make sure that recording has been deactivated in the browser (Admin Menu > Storage > Storage on External File Server /
Flash Device; activate recording again in the same dialog). Follow the instructions in section «Removing/Installing the Back Cover» to access the inside
of the camera and to close it again after inserting the SD card.

until you hear a click. Then release the SD
card. The card is protruding slightly and can
be easily removed.

Installing the Mx-A-IOA-IC

For the Mx-p26A/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-p26B, you can also attach MxBus devices (e.g., an
MX-GPS-Box). To facilitate the installation of the module, you should attach the connection wires before inserting the module.
Follow the instructions in section «Removing/Installing the Back Cover» to access the inside of the camera and to close it again
after inserting the module.

Regarding the initial operation of the p26, please see the M25 Camera Manual
in Chapter 3, «Initial Operation».
2. Install the lens
Screw the lens into the lens mount. Depending
on the physical length of the lens, you can
use your hand and then the gray lens wrench
(item 1.9). After initial operation of the camera,
remember to adjust the focus of the lens (see
«Initial Operation of the p26» on page 2).
Make sure the power supply to the camera is discon-
3. If required, enlarge the cable guide
If the cable guide is not large enough for addi-
tional cables, enlarge the guide accordingly.
Depending on the size required, break out either
one or two elements of the cable guide using
pliers (see blue markings in the figure).
4. Attach back cover
Insert the back cover, so that the large arrow
(highlighted blue in the figure) is positioned
in the viewing direction of the camera. Make
sure the cables and wires are guided properly
thought the cable guide, then carefully press
the back cover into the housing until it clicks
into place.
2. Insert the SD card
Insert the MicroSD card and gently press with
your finger as indicated by the arrow until you
hear another click.
Make sure that the SD card is fully inserted.
2. Insert the Mx-A-IOA-IC
Hold the Mx-A-IOA-IC with attached connection
wires over the receptacle on the main board
(red arrow in figure).
Use one finger to carefully press the board of
the module onto the receptacle. Make sure that
the green terminal connector block is pointing
upward (towards the SD card, see red arrow
in figure below).
Make sure that the Mx-A-IOA-IC is fully inserted.
Please also make sure that the connection
wires are guided through the housing without
tension and in a loop so that the cables do
not lift the module out of its receptacle when
adjusting the camera tilt (see figure).
