2 INSTALLATION
Although the MOBOTIX M26 has been primarily designed for installation on walls and ceil-
ings, it can also be installed on a mounting pole using the appropriate MOBOTIX accesso-
ries. The dierent installation options are described in Section 2.2, «Mounting the Camera
with Wall Mount» and the following sections, while the drilling templates are available from
www.mobotix.com, Support > Download Center > Documentation > Drilling Templates.
2.1 Preparing the Installation
Before mounting the MOBOTIX M26, the following questions should be answered:
1. Where will the camera be mounted?
2. Which other mounting options are available?
3. How is the camera connected to the network and how is the power supplied?
4. How are the connections furnished from the building?
5. What cabling considerations are necessary?
The following sections contain answers to each of these questions. If you have more detailed
questions,please ask your MOBOTIX partner directly or contact the MOBOTIX support. To

2.1.1 Mounting Options: Wall, Ceiling, Pole
Like all MOBOTIX cameras, the M26 is extremelyexible in terms of how and where it can be
installed. An M26 can be used for both indoor and outdoor applications. In xed or mobile
applications – constantly changing locations or in/on vehicles of any kind. The M26 cameras
are weatherproof according to IP66 and can work reliably in temperatures ranging from
–30 to 50 °C/–22 to 122 °F without extra housing, heating or fan. A practical sun protective
cover is integrated into the extremely resistant housing, which is made of UV-resistant spe
-
cial-purpose plastic.
Thanks to the camera’s unique VarioFlex mounting system (supplied as standard), the camera
can be mounted quickly and easily on any wall, ceiling or even a round pole of up to 18 cm
diameter (when combined with the stainless steel pole mount). The VarioFlex mounting
system allows a wide positioning range in both the horizontal and vertical directions (rotating
and tilting) to enable precise adjustment to suit the area to be monitored. The wall mount
alsotsdirectlyover ush-mountedRJ45sockets(without theframe) andMOBOTIX
interface boxes to fully conceal the cable, thus improving the security of the installation.
