Thank you everyone for your input. I'm going to test the MV12N, MV12W, and MV72X, one in each corner, and go from there. Install is relatively easy, so I can install/swap/move as needed. Agree on MV32 (360), which will give me a good all around, but not a good close-up view anywhere due to distance and height.

K-8 school in South Florida Currently 3 cameras on the south side of the court. Well protected from weather. Two are MV72, one is MV22. See attached photos for issues and ideas. Options I'm exploring: 1) Add 3 more MV22 or MV72 on north wall (and adjust all 6 cameras to cover half court distance +/-). 2) And/or add a 360 MV22 in the center of the court (to help with dead zones). Concern about how to install and exposure to hits from basket/volley balls. 3) Add MV12 narrow or wide model (however many needed) and repurpose the 3 that I have now on the south wall. Thanks for any insight.

Are you able to do a few calls on the user's extension / hardware and see if you can replicate? Or be next to the user when it happens and be able to listen?

Design is a bit art, so there is always the subjective factor. You almost always have to appeal for the majority knowing that not everyone will like every design element.

Two things come to mind: (1) when I log into the dashboard, I wish my starting screen/view was something like the Summary Report. I want a health dashboard/status screen with traffic lights by product family (MV, MR, MS, etc). A combination of the Summary Report and the default Clients view that shows now. Tied to this, I wish there was the option to configure your opening view by user. For example, I want the Summary Report / Health page. Another user wants to see the Video Walls upon login. Under user settings, it would be nice to select your opening screen upon login. (2) The other thing that I want to check is usage by clients. Is there a client using too much traffic or possibly creating an issue on the network. Show me APs or Switches or Clients by usage in the past hour, 2-4-8 hours, day, week, month. In this view, I wish there was a "now/live" view (dynamic view updating every 1/5/30/60 seconds).

Interesting. Mine changed to 40.3 as well (some, not all). I can't tell which changed, unless I go one by one, but some have 40.3 and others have other numbers. Unfortunately I don't recall which cameras I adjusted aperture for. Did you open a case with support?

Depending on your situation and volume, there can be savings in 3 and 5 year licenses.

Found this article in the knowledgebase, but no reference on how to clear/reset to the hostname for one (or many or all) clients. https://documentation.meraki.com/General_Administration/Cross-Platform_Content/Rename_a_Client's_Hostname I've now run into an issue where some clients hostname was edited, the hostname was later changed on the client, and now there is a mismatch/error/duplicate in client names. At a minimum I would hope there is an option to reset to hostname for a single client.

One thing you can probably use is the PoE cable you already ran to the EE cameras... remove the EE camera, mount the Meraki camera, and connect the PoE cable. What features are they lacking or wanting to improve from EE? We can then offer how Meraki MV addresses those needs/pain points. (We replaced a traditional NVR IP camera system with Meraki MV in 2019, 102 cameras)

I would love to see this option to clear the manually edited description, either on a per device basis or clear all.

I would love to see an option to create a user and restrict/direct the user exclusively to the Vision Portal. Toggle on/off user only has access to Vision portal In addition to being able to limit which cameras (as it works now, by tag, etc) or all cameras.

For switch to switch traffic, you may see minimal improvement, but it's a wise investment for the future. If you have 1G copper uplinks, an upgrade could be 1G fiber uplinks (free up one copper port). If you have 1G fiber uplinks, consider 10G fiber uplinks. Cost/available funds/other projects would help determine how high on priority you put this.

Today I create a user who I want to restrict to 8 cameras only, viewer only. This part worked OK. I was able to create user and assign the 8 cameras. Now, upon login by this user, the dashboard goes to a Video Wall that cannot display images. User needs to go to cameras to see the list of 8. Why does it show the video wall, and why does it default to Video Wall upon login? I opened a case with support. The answer was this is normal behavior, which I don't believe is accurate. See attached screen captures. what I should see upon login what I see upon login user created to view a set of cameras

I almost went with Verkada before we decided on Meraki. I also looked at Rhombus. https://www.verkada.com/security-update/ I have to admit I like the new features Verkada has released, but I'm glad we went with Meraki.

Restart camera? Reset camera? If you rollback firmware, does the problem go away? Have you tried viewing from different client/browsers/inside/outside and same issue?

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?
