Press the spring clips back and insert the p26
into the hole for the camera. The spring clips

will snap outwards, thus rmly holding the

camera in place.

Make sure that you only press back the spring
clips as shown in the image. Do not press them
back any further as the springs may snap out

of their xtures otherwise.

2. Roughly align the p26

Turn the camera until it roughly points into the
intended direction; once it is running, you will
adjust the camera according to the live image
(see

«Initial Operation of the p26»

).

Removing the p26

1. Pull out the camera

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 (risk of injury!).

2. Remove the cables

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

Initial Operation of the der p26

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

«Network and Power Connection, Additional

Cables»

in the

M25 Camera Manual

). The rst 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.

1. Set installed lens (only when self-mounting)

Open Admin Menu > Hardware Conguration >
Lens Conguration 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 rst time or exchanged. In cameras

with an MX-B016 ("Hemispheric") lens, the lens
has been focused at the factory.

Check the live image from the camera in the browser.
Activate the focusing aid in the browser (Focusing Aid quick control, Acti-
vated value).

Carefully turn the lens in clockwise or counter-clockwise direction using
the red lens wrench until the red area of the focusing aid is as small as
possible. Remove the lens wrench every time you changed the lens focus.

Once the focus is adjusted properly, deactivate the focusing aid again
(Focusing Aid quick control, Disabled value).

3. Adjust viewing direction

Turn the image in the ceiling until the live image

in the Setup Menu > Event Overview.

Likewise, the signal outputs can be used in the

sig-

nal output proles

in Admin Menu > Hardware

Conguration > Signal Out Proles.

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),
but as

12 V outputs

, open the Admin Menu > Hardware Conguration >

Manage Hardware Expansions dialog. In the IO Board section, click on
Connect for each output you want to use as output.

5. Save the conguration

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 above under

Install-

ing the p26

. A faulty installation can damage the camera!

• When installing this product, make sure that you are only using gen­uine MOBOTIX parts and MOBOTIX connection cables.

• Only install this product on suitable, solid materials that provide for

a sturdy installation of the xing elements used.

•

When removing the camera from the ceiling, make sure that the spring
clips do not snap back (risk of injury!).

• When attaching modules to the USB connector, the power consump­tion of all attached modules must not exceed 1 W.

Electrical installation: Electrical systems and equipment may

only be installed, modied and maintained by a qualied
electrician or under the direction and supervision of a qualied

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 eects 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.

Never touch the lens: Due to the high performance of the
p26, the area of the image sensor can get quite hot, especially
when the ambient temperature is also high. This does not

aect 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 dome.

Power o 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 conguration options for operation in Ethernet net­works 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 congured in the
soware and are password-protected. This prevents unauthorized parties

from accessing these settings.

2.

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 p26, 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 applicable regulations and to comply with
these laws. MOBOTIX AG is not liable for any illegal use of its products..
