Are the Cisco Meraki Cloud IP Cameras compatible with a Hik Vision NVR?

[BlakeRichardson]

Certain models of Meraki camera will now export an RTSP feed however whether this works with Hikvision I hage no idea. 

I've tried to setup a Meraki camera with some Mac NVR software called security spy and I was unable to get that to work.

Hi @Mike777 if you are asking to manage your Hikvision cameras with the Meraki Dashboard or ability to manage the Meraki MV cameras with Hikcentral, then no.  If you are referring to bringing the Meraki MV video stream(s) into Hikvision's management platform, then yes, via RTSP that @BlakeRichardson mentioned.  That would apply to any 3rd party system that can ingest the RTSP stream. Then you can leverage MV's RTSP streaming to integrate with those other systems and/or analytics you might already have in place, or it can be leveraged for an interim period of time during a migration.
