Mounting Options of the M26
1. Mounting to a Wall
When installing the M26 on a wall, for example, simply affix the pre-installed
and VarioFlex wall mount included in the delivery with the four supplied
screws and washers.
The camera can be turned or tilted 180° horizontally and 110° vertically
(from –90° to +20°).
2. Mounting to a Ceiling
By exchanging the wall mount for the separately supplied ceiling mount,
the M26 is ready to be mounted to ceilings in just a few easy steps thanks
to the VarioFlex system.
The camera can be turned or tilted 360° horizontally and 110° vertically
(from –90° to +20°).
3. Mounting to Poles (With Accessories)
If you want to mount the camera to a pole with a diameter from 60 to 180 mm,
you should consider using the Pole Mount (MX-MH-SecureFlex-ESWS) made
from white powder-coated stainless steel.
Just like when mounting to a wall, the camera can be turned 180° hor-
izontally and tilted 110° vertically (from –90° to +20°).
Installing the M26
1. Drill the holes for the dowels (if required)
Use the drilling template for this step (see
below). Mark the holes for dowels or screws
(blue circles in figure). If required, drill the holes
for the dowels, push them in and cut the cut-
out for the cables. Guide the Ethernet cable
and any other cables that are to be connected
through the cut-out.
2. Connect the cables
If you want to connect additional cables
(USB, MxBus), remove the weatherproof
housing as shown in Section «Removing/
Installing the Weatherproof Housing», con-
nect the cabling as required and again install
the housing. Plug the pre-installed Ether-
net cable into a network socket (e.g., of an
MX-Overvoltage-Protection-Box).
Removing/Installing the Weatherproof Housing
For certain tasks (e.g., connecting additional wires, exchanging the SD card), you need to remove the weatherproof housing and install it again once you
are finished.
1. Remove the fastening screws at the back
Start by removing the two rubber plugs that
protect the fastening screws. Next, unscrew
the two fastening screws of the weatherproof
housing using the supplied Allen wrench 5 mm
(item 1.7), but do not remove the screws
2. Remove camera from weatherproof hous-
ing
Press the camera from the housing by gently
applying pressure on the screws in alternating
fashion from the rear using the long shank of
the Allen wrench. Unscrew the fastening screws
once the camera is free from the housing
Inserting/Exchanging the SD Card
All camera models can use the integrated MicroSD card (SDHC) 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.
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 after exchanging the card).
1. Remove the SD Card
Open the camera (see «Removing/Installing the Weath-
erproof Housing» ), remove all connectors in the cover
of the inner housing, then remove the cover. Remove
the four screws from the back plate and lift off the
back plate. Gently push on the MicroSD card in the
card slot of the camera. The card is released from the
slot and can be removed from the camera.
