1.8 Important Notes
1.8.1 MOBOTIX M12-Weatherproof to IP65
The MOBOTIX M12 is weatherproof according to IP65 (absolutely dustproof, resi-
stant against water jets)! You can take additional measures for further improving
the weatherproofness if the camera is exposed to extreme weather conditions:
• Make sure that the SecureFlex mount is never mounted as shown in figure
(1)! This is even more important when you are mounting the camera on a
pan/tilt head.
• Make sure that the SecureFlex mount is always installed as shown in figure
(2)! Closely follow the notes and hints in section 2.11!
• The SecureFlex mount should be sealed off with additional silicone sealant
as shown in figure (3). Make sure that the drain holes at the bottom of the
mount remain open!
• Make sure the blue insect protection plug is firmly seated! Closely follow
the notes and hints in section 2.12.1!
• Seal off the SecureFlex mount against the wall using silicone sealant.
• Make sure that the cabling always enters the SecureFlex mount from the bot-
tom!
• Only use genuine MOBOTIX cables since they prevent water from entering
the camera!
1.8.2 Password for the Administration Menu
The administration area of the camera (Admin Menu button) is protected by a user
name and password:
• User name is admin
• Password is meinsm
Enter the user name and password exactly as shown above. Note that both entries
are case-sensitive.
When accessing the administration menu for the first time, the Quick Installation
wizard will help you set the most important parameters that are relevant for your
requirements. For security reasons, it is highly recommended to change the
adminstrator password after the camera has been configured properly.
