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 housing

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 

3. Complete the tasks

Follow the procedures for the work inside the 
housing as described in the M25 Camera Manual 
in 

Chapter 2, «Installation» (e.g., connecting 

additional wires, exchanging the SD card).

4. Insert the camera into the weatherproof housing

Start by inserting the camera into the weath-
erproof housing. Press the camera back into 
the housing and take care not to squeeze and 
damage any wires inside the housing.

5. Tighten the retaining screws

Affix the camera in the weatherproof housing 
using the two retaining screws.
Finally, push in the two rubber plugs that pro-
tect the retaining screws.

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° 

horizontally 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), 
remove the weatherproof housing as shown in 
Section «Removing/Installing the Weatherproof 
Housing», connect the cabling as required and 
again install the housing. Plug the pre-installed 
Ethernet cable into a network socket (e.g., of 
an MX-Overvoltage-Protection-Box).

3. Install the camera

Press the wall/ceiling mount and the wall sealing against the mounting 
position and align the holes with the holes for the dowels/screws. Insert 
the screws with washers and tighten them using a torque of 0.4 Nm. Finally, 
press the white covers onto the screw heads.

www.mobotix.com

 > Support > MxMedia Library >

1. Remove the SD Card    

Open the camera (see «Removing/Installing the Weather-

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.
