Well yes and no - we were able to find the .mp4 stream and open it with VLC..which I know is not necessarily supported, but why in the world would it be delayed?

Hi, I thought I'd check back on this as it's continued to be an issue. Again, these are Gen1 outdoor cameras but we are accessing them via the direct mp4 stream, yet they are still very delayed. Any suggestions on how to overcome this?

I don't believe it is RTSP stream per se. When we did this, RTSP was not an option, so we were able to capture the URL of the mp4 stream of the camera logging into the dashboard and open it with VLC. It seems that it was pretty much real time initially, so I'm not sure why that's no longer the case. These are Gen 1 cameras so my understanding is that RTSP is not an option.

When we first added Meraki cameras I asked about a PVM solution for monitors by our back doors. At the time nothing existed, is that still the case? What we ended up doing at the time was finding the IP of the camera stream and just launching it in VLC on a PC. This works pretty well, but there's a caveat - I don't recall this being a huge issue initially but there is a massive lag now for when things show up on the screen from the time they are on camera of up to 2 minutes, which makes our solution kind of pointless. Would love it if there was another solution available now.

What I ended up doing was just using an auto-launching instance of VLC and grabbing the direct link of the camera. That works pretty well, but it's aggravating that there isn't a way to do this using the dashboard or some application provided by Cisco.

Just record everything you need to do to start it up, and then play it play it back on every boot. So this wouldn't be a solution in a multi camera situation, but in one location, we need only one camera on the monitor. It appears that if you inspect the page, you can get the direct stream, which you can open with VLC - problem solved....unless the stream location gets changed. Would be awesome if there were a way to get a direct link to a wall and not just a single stream.

You'll need to hit the full screen button in the Dashboard. Sorry, I'm not thinking right. You could use a web driver to do that though... Something like Selenium https://www.seleniumhq.org/projects/webdriver/ Ug I don't understand why there isn't the ability to log a user straight into a specified video wall at full screen. I guess that my issue is in relation to what we would be referred to as the permanent video monitor (PVM) - We have these near most of our back doors as there is no line of sight at most of them and people want to check the surroundings before they go outside at night.

We have SAML and for me to log in all I have to do is point my browser at our SAML login URL and I'm redirected to the Dashboard, all logged in. No entering credentials required. It'd be easy enough to have your machine open the SAML URL first, and then switch pages to the camera wall (using the deep link). Well I'm seeing another issue in that even if I auto logged in, in order for this to work how I want, it would need to log into a video wall at full screen, which doesn't seem possible.

You could potentially have something like Chrome launch on login and have the homepage set to a specific video wall, but there is a also a global Dashboard forced logout setting which may eventually kick this out. If you had an extension or plugin that reloaded the page on a schedule, would that logout be avoided?

I saw another post related to this but it was several months old, so I didn't want to tack onto it since things may have changed. We are on our first location using Meraki cameras. With our Cisco cameras we used the SASD wall launcher for pulling up streams that are on a monitor by the backdoor at locations. Our understanding was that there was a way to do this with the dashboard, but I'm not quite understanding how it would be done. I have a pc available to run the stream, but the end goal to me would be if the PC reboots, it autologs into WIndows (easy enough), launches the browser of choice, and autologs into the dashboard with the appropriate video wall launched. Is this possible?

We use Lansweeper to track our online IT assets and it can query serial number, model number and such over snmp on some other cameras (Cisco). That's the information that would be useful to have all in one place.

Is it possible to connect to the cameras via snmp? I have read the snmp overview but was not clear if it applied to cameras or not. I set up a community string but still cannot seem to talk to individual cameras, so I was trying to determine if that is even possible, or it possibly its only switches & AP's where you can access info via snmp.
