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> MX Media Library>

Planning in the document

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 to NOT let the spring clips

snap forward (this may hurt you!).

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 1.

. If the camera has not yet been installed, skip step1.

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 otherwise.

Begin by inserting
the wide lock (next to the SD card) into the
camera housing as shown. From the fac­tory, the lock and the corresponding slot
are highlighted by

color mark

.

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.

Click!

6. Re-connect the cables

Insert the Ethernet cable and – if installed–
the USB cable into the corresponding sockets
and secure the connectors using the blue
bayonet catches.

Gently push against the nearest spring clip to
push the lock out of its seat and to lift the back
plate from the housing 2.

Repeat the process for the two other locks and
cautiously lift the back plate from the housing.

Press the spring clips back and insert the
camera into its original mounting position
(see

«Installing the c25»

).

To finish, make sure that the camera image is properly aligned: If required,
cautiously turn the camera to adjust image alignment.

Installing the MX-Bus-IO-Module

For the c25, you can use the optionally available MX-Bus-IO-Module to attach MxBus devices (e.g., an MX-GPS-Box),
to attach external sensors using the signal inputs and to switch other devices via the signal outputs.

1. Insert the MX-Bus-IO-Module

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).

2. Attach the connection cables

Attach the connection wires as shown in the terminal connector overview.

When attaching the connection wires to the
MX-Bus-IO-Module, make sure the wires
are guided to the module without tension

Installing the c25

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.

Initial Operation of the c25

The initial operation starts with connecting the power supply (see section

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.

Configuring and Using the MX-Bus-IO-Module

1.

The camera will automatically detect an installed
MX-Bus-IO-Module (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.

«Network and Power Connection, Additional

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 control
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.
