Actually both the MV71 and MV72 require PoE+ when using the heater.

An alternative would be to move your cameras to a separate Org and keep your 'networking' networks separate in the original org. Then your Org admins in teh main org could be given granular network admin access in your camera org.

We are also experiencing the 'image failed to load' issue on the video wall with mixed-gen cameras on the older gen cameras. I've had a case open on this for a few weeks. As far as the sync issue during playback, I haven't experienced any major out of sync issues. They are fairly well sync'ed in my limited look at this.

I don't believe this is possible. If you're using MS switches you could put the cameras on an MS Port schedule... but that would also mean your cameras are powered down outside of 8-4:30.

We're just comparing to the dashboard numbers. I have not done a recent comparison. When this was first launched (maybe a year ago?, older firmware) we were seeing Meraki numbers 10 times higher than the traditional people counter. We have seen improvement over time and our store we used for comparison was extremely busy (lots of people dwelling and moving around each other and other obstructions). This is a very difficult use case for the MV camera. We still love the people count analytics as a comparative measure. In 3 clicks i can get to the busiest minute, in the busiest hour, on the busiest day of the month and immediately see what the store looks like at max capacity. We find that extremely valuable. If dead accurate people counts are important to you then there are more traditional options that may be better suited.

We have dedicated people counters in some of our retail stores located above the entrances and the MV counts are much higher than what the people counters are reporting. http://www.brickstream.com/NewDatasheets/FLIR-Brickstream3D.pdf

We've found the people counting with MV to be inaccurate on the high side. The feature is still very useful to trend busy hours/days, but I wouldn't consider it accurate. In busy environments with people walking behind each other or behind obstructions, the inaccuracy increases. Meraki does a good job of explaining the things that can throw off the count here: https://documentation.meraki.com/MV/Video_Analytics/MV_People_Detection We've seen the accuracy improve over subsequent releases and I fully expect it to continue to improve.

All my cameras are green, so i don't suspect its a wide-spread issue.

I assume you still only have 1 physical MX and 1 MR. The additional MR license you applied to the org would have increased the MR device count to 2. You only have one MR, but the additional license doesn't actually extend the license duration for that device because the co-termination model assumes 2 MR's. You would need to work with Meraki support or your account manager to rectify this if you want to use some of the value in the 2nd license. Also read this: https://documentation.meraki.com/zGeneral_Administration/Licensing/Cisco_Meraki_Licensing_Guidelines_and_Limitations/The_Science_Behind_Licensing_Co-Termination

Actually, you could do this. Create multiple video walls with the same cameras, but change the center camera on each of the video walls. Then set the video walls to rotate.

If it was me, I would still use a 50ohm load on an unused port (antenna or termination). A dust cap will present an open circuit to the port and if the port is ever enabled, 100% of the power gets reflected back into the radio... never a great thing for a radio.

I agree with Philip. I would still terminate the 2.4 ports with a cheap antenna or a 50ohm termination like this: https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Amphenol-RF/202109-10?qs=sGAEpiMZZMvkloRJ4SuqXuLVgwQXDW1kKr3UMUCsu9I%3D

If you call into support and get an 'Org split' done (move existing network to a 'new' org), video can be retained.

I hope for rapid adoption by device manufacturers (looking at you Apple) so that we can actually realize the benefits of .ax!

I've never been a fan of meshing under any circumstance. That aside, do you have auto-channel enabled on the MR42? I wonder if it's doing channel changes that causes the mesh link to drop.

i wonder if you had each AP in a separate dashboard network with the same single SSID name on each, on the same L2 network, with different splash pages in each dashboard network if this would work. thats about all i could offer as a possible solution. I think roaming 'might' still work. still clunky

Is 20dBm your max for all 3 bands? UNII-1, UNII-2, and UNII-3? Here in Canada we have lower limits for UNII-1 and as a result depending on the channel being broadcast we'd see some AP's not broadcasting at our desired output power. We typically set o/p power to 17dBm to get a good balanced link and UNII-1 channels would always be backed off further. Anyways, it might be worthwhile checking if there's correlation between AP power and channel. That might help in your discussion with Meraki support.

Exports are uploaded and stored in the cloud and downloaded from there, regardless if you are local or not. I have not tested the speed so I can't comment on that.

You're plugging it in to the ethernet port on the back of the 30H and not one of the 4 switch ports on the bottom? (I've done this before)

All of that is configured on a per-ssid basis. So apply Meraki Auth to CorpSSID, and do click-through or whatever on your guest.

It's going to be difficult to prevent employees from hopping onto your guest SSID. The best you can do is make the guest SSID experience so limited that staff wouldn't want to use it. As far as JumpCloud (or even the Meraki built-in Authentication) they use 802.1x, so a user is immediately prompted for username and password when selecting the SSID. In the case of JumpCloud, as long as the AP's can reach JumpCloud's public IP then no problem. I have it running well behind MX, MS, MR. As others have stated, Meraki Auth will work to manage WiFi access. What I like about JumpCloud is that you can use it to manage cloud apps. I even set it up to integrate via SAML to manage Meraki dashboard access. It get's powerful when you start layering access control. When an employee leaves, you wipe them out of JC and all access is revoked from one place. As mentioned there are other IAM solutions in this space. JC is the only one I've spent time playing with.
