Important Notes
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 in
Chapter 2, «Installation»
of the corresponding manual. A faulty instal-
lation can damage the camera!
• When installing this product, make sure that you are only using gen-
uine 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.
Electrical installation: Electrical systems and equipment may
only be installed, modied and maintained by a qualied
electrician or under the direction and supervision of a qualied
electrician in accordance with the applicable electrical guide-
lines. Make sure to properly set up all electrical connections.
Electrical surges: MOBOTIX cameras are protected against
the eects 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
Q26, the area of the image sensor can get quite hot, especially
when the ambient temperature is also high. This does not
aect the proper functioning of the camera in any way. For
this reason, the product must not be installed within the reach of persons
without 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 exchanging the SD card or when opening
the body to attach wires).
Network security: MOBOTIX products include all of the nec-
essary conguration options for operation in Ethernet net-
works 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 congured
in the soware and are password-protected. This prevents unauthorized
parties from accessing these settings.
Legal Notes
Legal aspects of video and sound recording: You must comply
with all data protection regulations for video and sound mon-
itoring when using MOBOTIX products. Depending on national
laws and the installation location of the Q26, 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.
Disposal
Electrical and electronic products contain many valuable
materials. For this reason, we recommend that you dispose of
MOBOTIX products at the end of their service life in accordance
with all legal requirements and regulations (or deposit these products at a
municipal collection center). MOBOTIX products must not be disposed of in
household waste! If the product contains a battery, please dispose of the
battery separately (the corresponding product manuals contain specic
directions if the product contains a battery).
Disclaimer
MOBOTIX AG does not assume any responsibility for damages,
which are the result of improper use or failure to comply to
the manuals or the applicable rules and regulations. Our
General Terms and Conditions apply. You can download the
