The Meraki Vision Portal, in beta, is a new interface designed for MV video users. It is for video-related activities, like watching live or historical footage, searching, and exporting video. To access the Vision Portal, navigate to Cameras > Monitor > Vision Portal.

The video access page now includes a section for external live stream users. For each user that was shared a live stream link, the list includes their email, name, description, link expiration and the cameras they were given access to.

There is a new image quality option for MV32: 2058x2058 resolution at 1Mbps bitrate and 8fps. This new 2058x2058 option could provides organizations with a higher level of detail (due to increased pixel count), while still maximizing retention due to the lower bitrate. This option will also be compatible with Cloud Archive. For more information on image quality on MV32, please see the Image Quality on the MV32 article in documentation.

MV cameras now support role-based camera permissions for SAML/SSO. This allows organizations to better scale operations by managing individual permissions in one place, outside of the dashboard.

Once configured, this allows camera users to be able to log in the dashboard through the Meraki application within your identity provider. 

Low-latency HLS (LHLS) is now available for second generation MV smart cameras. LHLS reduces the delay in live streaming caused by the buffering period with HLS. Using LHLS, the LAN direct stream has a delay of less than 2 seconds. 

Second generation MV smart cameras now support a new experimental object detection model in addition to the default model. 

A new advanced analytics debug mode is available for second generation MV smart cameras with MV sense enabled. This allows users to troubleshoot the object detection data used via MQTT or dashboard API calls in third-party applications.

The new exports page provide visibility into all the exports within a network. The new combine exports feature lets you create a single file from multiple exports to create a seamless playback for an entire incident. Access the new page and features by going to Cameras > Monitor > Exports.

Video access logs now include external stream sharing links. The access log tracks when generated, viewed, extended or disabled.

• The "Recipient" column indicates the external email the link was shared to.
• The "User" column will be blank for entries pertaining to viewing the external link since these are non-Dashboard viewers.

When selecting an individual camera name from a video wall while viewing historical video, the timestamp from the video wall will carry over to video feed from the selected camera.

More information on viewing video can be found in our documentation on Viewing MV Video.

Video wall modifications are now displayed on the change log. Any action to add, delete or edit the video wall layouts are indicated on the organization change log.

Video wall visibility has been updated to reflect camera-only admin permissions. Camera-only admins will only see video walls if they have access to at least one camera within that layout. All other video walls in which the user does not have access to at least one camera will be hidden.

For more information, see our documentation on Video Walls.

Users can now add areas of interest to motion-based retention to extend storage duration for motion occurring in important areas. If areas of interested are enabled, motion events that occur outside of the selected regions from being retained for motion-based retention purposes.

The new MV22X and MV72X offer double the storage capacity of previous models, with the ability to record in higher resolution.

Admins can now get visibility into who is accessing video in their network using the Video access log.

Start by navigating to Cameras > Monitor > Video access log. You can filter by camera, event type, user and location.

You can now provide any email address quick and temporary access to live video by using the external stream sharing feature.

You can now bulk-assign the same quality and retention settings to multiple cameras at once using profiles and APIs.

Start by navigating to Cameras > Configure > Camera profiles and creating a profile with the desired settings.

Video exports from MV smart cameras can now be scheduled. After setting the start and end times of the video clip, select a date and time to schedule the export.
