Pretense - Before coming to the Partner side, I started as IT support as a subcontractor for a school district in the late 90’s. I was the tech for “standalone” computers and there was another one who did the token ring computer labs. The Story - After several years things migrated to Ethernet and hubs. A few years later we deployed the first wave of Cisco Catalyst Switches. One of the switches failed and I was asked go swap it out. I unboxed it and setup the enable password etc. Then I asked my “Senior Network Engineer” if he wanted me to put an IP address on it. His response “nah, that’s just for management we don’t use that” The closing - Fast forward a few more years, the company I worked for was let go and I was hired as the Network Admin where I stayed for another 10yrs. Final Thoughts - hmmm, IP addresses for management who needed that?

It goes with comment made by @Roybotic The customer is a Cisco Controller Based Wireless / DNA Customer and did not want to deploy a Meraki AP to pair the sensor with so they used the camera.

I've heard someone has developed a script or api to for when a MT20 door opens event is triggered the MV will send a pic via email or SMS. I have been unable to locate this, any help would be greatly appreciated. Now on to my subject line, I'm looking to assist a customer who has a water sensor paired with an MV for a similar action. Use case: The AC units in their server room have built-in humidifiers for humidity control, despite installing water filters due to the water quality calcium deposits build up and eventually clog the drain line. This then causes the condensation to collect in the overflow pan as designed, then the float switch gets tripped and the unit(s) shut down causing a temp alarm. Solution: Water sensor in the overflow pan, this now alerts them before the AC unit shuts down. - Handy I should put one in my attic... Ideal Solution: Water sensor alerts and sends an image from the MV that is paired with. They used a MV for the pairing due to having Traditional Cisco Wireless AP's and not wanting to add a Meraki AP into the mix. Thank you in advance for any pointers.

I'm looking forward to the next generation of students glowing in the dark from all of the radio waves we are inundating them with. Ok, I'm also looking forward to the reduced structured cabling requirements. Yes you will need faster switches with mGig, Yes you will need a faster fiber backbone between your IDF's and your MDF but drop the port counts, however you will get to reduce the number of physical cables you will have to pay have installed.
