Hi, if you have a clientId like merakimv_SERIAL you are using an old firmware with lot of issues on MQTT. Newest firmware has a random clientId like mosqxxxxxxxxxx. Multiple reconnection is an issue also with latest firmware and depends on camera not sending always required keep alive packets and broker closing connection if keep alive packets are not received. ...

The option to use Umbrella DNS servers natively without an Umbrella or Advanced Security Subscription (MR) just gives you the ability to use Umbrella DNS servers as recursive DNS service for your DHCP clients.   If you were to buy an Umbrella /Advanced Security Subscription (MR) subscription you could have the ability to create enforcement policies/reporting to block or report on certain domains etc.   The benefit over the traditional Meraki MX content filtering is that Umbrella can protect your network clients regardless of the network they are connecting to (Not just behind the MX - There's a roaming client ability to be deployed on user machines.). In addition, it provides much more detailed reporting and also sets up an easy roadmap to migrate to a full SASE architecture.     ... View more

I just tried this on the MV71 running 4.0 code.  Chromium Edge on my Mac.  "Seems" better, but there is still about a 3 second lag. ... View more

@nicholas2019  It's the combination of suggestions already mentioned that will address your concern.  Using things like motion alerts to get an email of the motion activity for starters, while that can potentially create too many alert emails, but at least you would have them. Some small enhancements coming soon will be able to help you there.   Likewise with MV Cloud Archive, the camera will dual-record to both the camera and to the cloud for 90 or 180 days depending on your license level.  That is a separate license and is different from the "MV Sense" licenses where you get the first 10 for free.  More info on MV Sense here https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/mv-sense/#!overview/overview   In addition, theft of the camera itself is not typically a problem when they are properly mounted, out of reach, and/or somewhat vandal-proof (IK10+ rated) and cannot just be ripped off a wall or ceiling even if they are within reach of a vandal.  Plus, a vandal is not going to steal a camera thinking that they're doing so to hide the evidence.  Even if they DID recognize it was a Meraki camera, and decided to steal it in order to also steal the video evidence, that can be addressed by not only having cloud archive but also additional cameras covering those sensitive areas where camera theft might be a concern.  And one of the earlier answers is also correct about all MV video being encrypted both in transit and at rest on the camera itself.   ...

@TheChad  @EJN  Thanks for pointing out the use of tags.  I didn't even think about using tags for cameras.  Thanks! ... View more

I agree with you. As long as we all know that software can be used to enhance camera usage at home or in production environmet, these cameras can work together with IoT. Manufacturers wants to be monitoring what is happening in certain areas hazardous of heat, chemical reactions, etc where alot of activities are hapening, a camera should also detect a temperature and movement heat.   That is why i suggest Cisco Meraki cameras should be redesigned to conquer advanced security. Basic security is already covered by these other types of camers. Tk make me go buy cisco meraki cameras it must be having other features that cannot be found into other cameras ... View more
