Meraki MV-63 Unboxing - upgrading older MV-71

Small project to update some older Meraki MV-71 outdoor Gen 1 cameras with newer Meraki MV-63 4MP outdoor cameras.

 

Check out the unboxing and install gallery here  There are also gallery notes on the photos.  

 

Install was easy using the included mounting templates and brackets with the MV-63.   The 4K resolution is amazing compared to the older MV-71 be sure to see the before and after photos in the gallery.   The new analytics (people/vehicle counting) is also a benefit.   Using the included automations in the Meraki Dashboard and the MT-30 button I can press the button on the MT-30 sensor and seconds later a photo snap shot from the MV-63 shows up on my iPhone via SMS. 

 

Here is the MV-63 installed where the older MV-71 was on the corner of my garage.
