Video egress/download APIs

Hi. Are there an APIs available to extract stored video from any of the smart cameras? We would like to automate the process of downloading video segments when a motion alert or object detection event occurs. 

 

Thanks,

Chris

Hi @chris-terminal 

 

Unfortunately there is no API to extract/download the videos. Her you can check all the APIs available.

I am not a Cisco Meraki employee. My suggestions are based on documentation of Meraki best practices and day-to-day experience.

If you need to push footage out to an external system you'll want to use RTSP:    https://documentation.meraki.com/MV/Advanced_Configuration/External_RTSP

 

You can use the Dashboard API to push a still image or images from a camera though, as a result of (for example) a detection event, which allows quick review  of an event - plus all sorts of integrations involving AI/ML analysis:   https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/generate-device-camera-snapshot/
