I have learned that it's hard to break up with old habits. People used to CLI, SSH and related logins to manage switches have a harder time getting used to Meraki. I do agree there are cases where a CLI could be beneficial, and I like a solution like Ruckus that offers CLI in addition to Ruckus Cloud web based management. Still, I love all the things you can do in the Meraki dashboard. Some things are more hidden and there is a learning curve to find where certain things are located, but overall it makes to simpler switch management, IMO. Two things that people point to me when I mention Meraki are the lack of CLI and the annual subscription fees. Neither one has been a negative for our implementation.

I recall the early days of Nest (before Google), one of the categories in the community forum was feature requests. They asked one feature per thread, and requested that people upvote (kudos) on the original post. This would help them give direction for what features users wanted. I would love to see something like this in the Meraki Community Forums. It's a way of making the "make a wish" feature public for people to see, comment and upvote.

Adding more to this, I would like to see Health added as a menu option on the left. In it you get to the health dashboard (which could be set as the default opening view when you login to Meraki) and in the menu you have options for what to display, set alerts, and display options (colors). I like where this is headed...

Just saw partial of this on my dashboard. Cannot wait for full roll out. I would love to see a menu option called Health where you can configure some of these options (separate but related to alerts).

Love the new Health indicators. Some questions: * Right now it's showing MS and MR. Could it also show MV and MT? * In wireless clients alerts, it reads " Clients with high bandwidth usage." Can it also include wired clients? I want to get an alert if any client regardless of how it's connected is using high bandwidth. * On the Health indicators, add a traffic light for number of clients (wired and wireless) . Say within past timeframe (2 hours, 24 hours, etc), highest number, lowest number and current number?

Reading the RTSP documentation, it says only LAN clients can access RTSP. This wouldn't work for remote access from the police system, correct?

Dashboard is simple/easy for our internal users, but I cannot expect the police to use the Meraki dashboard (unless they had a significant portion of entities on Meraki such as schools, churches, etc). Their standard to access school cameras is ONVIF. I will look more into RTSP.

Broward County in Florida is able to access school cameras from their emergency operations center. My understanding is they do this through ONVIF, regardless of what camera system is in the school. I know Meraki doesn't support ONVIF. What are my options for Broward County to get access to our Meraki cameras? Is the answer to look into a custom development using the API?

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?

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.

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

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.
