Meraki

Motion settings on the camera? Some user accessing the camera to view footage? Is it a one-time occurance or does it repeat every day/hour? Settings identical between this camera and another one nearby? Have you tried reset/restart the camera?

Shift-F5 fixed it for me in Chrome.

Same here. Unable to load in Chrome. It logs me in automatically and takes me to a blank page, so I'm unable to logout to refresh.

I have 102 MV cameras installed. They are all connected to non Meraki switches. Most are Brocade (Ruckus) POE switches, some are TP Link POE switches, and some are unmanaged Netgear POE switches. Never an issue with compatibility. If you have non POE switches, you can use POE injectors as previously mentioned. Depending on your environment and budget, you may want to invest in POE switches.

@BlakeRichardson Our Ruckus R710s work OK, but the ZD controller interface could be more modern/user friendly. The new solutions are SmartZone (virtual or on-premise) or Cloud. I think Ruckus Cloud can give us easier configuration and troubleshooting with the APs. But if we are to buy new Ruckus APs to be on WiFi6, we should also look at Meraki APs. I really like the Meraki dashboard. SmartZone would also give us insight into the switches, which we currently lack. Our switches are not compatible with Ruckus Cloud, so it would require going with SmartZone, or changing our switches to other Ruckus models, or Meraki. We are now analyzing our options and cost for each. Migrating to Meraki is full of positives, except for cost. The question is whether the benefits and positives are greater than the cost to migrate.

Thank you both for feedback. I’ll add that we have 16 switches and 40 APs. We are a K-8 school in South Florida. Students connect with iPads via WiFi. Staff combination of wired and WiFi on iPad, Windows laptops and Windows desktops. Plus all the other devices such as printers, cameras, IP phones, etc.

Looking for any insight into a possible migration from Ruckus APs (R710) and Brocade switches (7250) to Meraki. We use Meraki MV Cameras and evaluating Cloud Controller for Ruckus vs possibly moving over to Meraki switches and APs. The main con is the cost to migrate. The pros I see so far are love the Meraki dashboard; the ability to navigate from client to AP to switch to port through the dashboard; the plug and play nature of Meraki (minimal CLI commands, automatic firmware). Looking for input from others. Thank you.

Let me clarify that HDR was off. What fixed it was toggling it on/off. It's like the sensor was stuck and the toggle did a reset to off. I'm curious to see if it holds on the next transition to day time and night time. I will report back on Saturday morning.

EJN · ‎Jan 14 2021

HDR toggle off/on fixed the issue. I'll confirm tomorrow once the cameras go through a 24 hour day/night cycle.

EJN · ‎Jan 14 2021

I'll try that toggle tonight. Good tip to test.

I'm on 4.9.

See attached photo. This started in December. I haven't opened a support case and wanted to check here first. We have 102 cameras and it's happening in about 10-15 of them. MV22 and MV72 Thanks for any insight.

Also, look at this article. It can also be a misplaced gasket against the dome. https://documentation.meraki.com/MV/Troubleshooting/Troubleshooting_MV_Image_Quality

Is there a separate login option for users who should see only Meraki Vision? I want to create a user account and have it go direct to Vision without having to click on the dashboard.

EJN · ‎Dec 23 2020

Another Feature Request: when on the video wall, allow user to click on camera to take it full screen (or go to that's camera single view). You can sort of do this in the regular dashboard, but on Vision you can't even click on the camera from Video Wall.

Just discovered this today. Love it. Some feedback: 1) "Left navigation pane with a map and thumbnails so users know what camera to click on" * On this pane, provide a toggle to show camera preview on/off. * Add a filter button... it shows all cameras and I only want to work on the following 3 (without having to create a video wall). * For the camera preview, it's a static view when the Vision is loaded, correct? 2) "Collapsible left navigation to maximize screen real estate for video" * How is this done? Edit: never mind... found the button at the top to collapse/expand the left navigation pane. Feature Request: when pressing the full screen button, it didn't take away the timeline at the bottom. When I press full screen, I want nothing but the video. Provide a toggle for the timeline on/off when going to full screen (or make the timeline on/off on hover). Full screen should be full screen.

Love LHLS. We have 100 MV 2nd Gen and I'm experiencing under 1 second delay when on the LAN. The prior 3-6 second delay was OK for our use-case, but this makes it so much nicer when it's almost real time. Thank you Meraki team.

We have 100 MV cameras at church/school, and we love Meraki and the MV line. We have 70 MV22 and 30 MV72. They are connected to Brocade POE switches and some go to unmanaged Netgear POE switches. Very happy with our implementation, and support has been superb.

EJN · ‎Jul 23 2020

Hello. We have a 100 MV camera implementation. Overall we are very satisfied and we love Meraki and the MV line. One problem we have is that in our initial 12 month implementation, we've had about 8 camera failures. 6 where the camera continues to get power, but cannot connect to the cloud (multi color light cycling). 2 where we lost power as well, so the camera doesn't come online at all. In all cases, Meraki support has been superb and cameras have been replaced. However, I have no info on what caused the failure. I cannot pin point if there was a power outage that triggered the failure, or some other behavior in our network. Cameras are all wired to a Brocade POE switch, or in some cases a Netgear un-managed POE switch. Failures have happened on both. If the answer is normal that it happens here and there, that's OK, but I have to think there is something to this that can be troubleshoot. On the 6 cameras with power but no data connection, the camera is extremely hot, almost too hot to handle. On the 2 with no power, well, there cameras are completely dead. Thanks for any insight. (We also have MV72s, but none of those have failed. Only MV22s).

When we first installed (Summer 2019), we had 8-10 second delay. Since about December, we have 3-4 second delay. I just tested as I type this and got 3 seconds on MV22 (Direct LAN, High Bitrate).

Is the camera online/working OK and gets hot, or is it hot and not fully online? I ask because the 2 hot cameras I've had were unable to go online, so they were defective and replaced under warranty.

EJN · ‎Feb 4 2020

Can you try another web connection (home for example)? I had a case where the camera was shown green on status (online), but the video feed was blocked by the network.

Set an alert in eBay in case a damaged one pops up with a good housing.

Does it make a difference if you export while on the local LAN versus a remote connection via the web?
