@webfrank +100 for the topic/prefix option as well on the client side for the MV.  I was only concerned at the moment of trying to get one camera to work.  Imagine to my chagrin if I were to enable more cameras only to run in to the exact same issue you are alluding to.  The same goes for the certificate concern as well.   @DexterLaBora can these things (user/pass; topic/prefix; certificates) be considered as well? ...

Thanks @DexterLaBora .  I was utilizing the user/pass combo of CloudMQTT as this is for a lab environment along with just a proof of concept and I didn't want to go down the path of getting a certificate.  I realize CloudMQTT, HiveMQ, and other cloud based brokers all utilize TLS/SSL but as I mentioned, I didn't want to go through the trouble of getting a certificate for a lab and/or POC only to have it torn down in a couple of months.   I can't speak to what @TMD and @webfrank use case(s) are, but my use case may be a very corner case.  Ultimately, having the option of user/pass for me would still be invaluable for any lab/POC that I want to attempt to show any potential customers the power of Meraki.  I can always mention that this is not the most secure way and using the TLS/SSL option is the best. ...

Thanks @DexterLaBora   In the spirit of Meraki, I'm hopeful that the product team can come to a solution for leveraging cloud based brokers as I believe that a cloud based solution is what my customers are looking for as well as myself as an end user. The cloud based broker would eliminate the need for on premise equipment which is exactly why customers and myself love Meraki! ... View more

@nicholas2019 the ten licenses that come with the cameras are for MV Sense.  It's really slick once you start digging in to APIs and coding!   https://meraki.cisco.com/lib/pdf/meraki_datasheet_mv_sense.pdf     ... View more

@webfrank @TMD Just letting you guys know, I'm still waiting to hear back from my Meraki SE.  I also opened a Meraki case and pointed them to this thread as well.  Will continue to keep you posted.   FYI, the cloud broker that I am trying to utilize is https://www.cloudmqtt.com   ... View more

Make note of what @EJN  did as well.  With the tags function, you don't necessarily have to worry much about naming conventions.  Tags are a great way to find a camera!   ... View more

This plays well into IoT.  The Meraki cameras use MQTT via Meraki Sense that can be used to create a workflow to open a gate.  The danger is that the gate will open whenever ANYONE enters the zone.   ... View more

@TMD Just out of curiosity, are you looking at CloudMQTT? ... View more

/bump   I sent in the exact same question to my Meraki engineer as well.  Hoping to find a response. ... View more

This could be accomplished with MV Sense and corresponding APIs.     https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/mv-sense/#!overview/overview   ... View more
