sounds like an IP address from another region / location was taken? That would of course explain why it didn't work. Since the subnet was not known. Then, as mentioned, the device makes a fallback to the old - working - address. However, great it got solved. ... View more

It is the model that is listed on the Meraki datasheet you link to.  They are sold as Cisco SFPs now that is what it says on the box they came in.  It is the MA-SFP-1GB-SX, and they are not cheap, but now I have some, as well as others we use, so if I have an issue, I can put a supported model on each end of the connection.  The firmware upgrade fixed the issue.  Thank you to all for your help. ...

Read my post up near the top again, most of the support folk we have had to talk to lately have been lacking in knowledge of Meraki.  They used to have the best support period, and I really hope they get back there real soon, but either way you are correct, you can't do a 5 hour phone call over emails.   One of our last calls was 4 hours, and no closer to a fix than when we first got on the call.  The poor guy did not know what he was doing, so they have had to hire some that have not been trained correctly or had enough time to train.  I can understand that to a point, they have sold so much that the customer base is way too large for the amount of support they currently have.   I sure am hoping they can turn this around for the better, and get back to where support was before.       ...

I can't tell you how many times I didn't realize how big a change was going to be beforehand.  It always seems to find a way to affect more than what you first realize.  Good you got things figured out, and are getting some help with getting it right.  You must have a pretty huge network, and a complicated one at that.  Good luck!     ...

@Banfield75  The camera has been replaced as he mentioned and fault still persists.  ... View more

As most everyone has said they are easy to setup, and have some really nice features, however, the cost and the main issues with these cameras make them a NO GO for us any more.  First off, if you want to record the audio along with the video, then you will be sorely disappointed, the audio quality is about as bad as it can get, in our experience.  I have some Ubiquiti cameras that are less than half the cost of the MVs, that sound so much better in the audio, it is really crazy.    Another thing, we licensed several of our cameras, we wanted more storage, and with the license, you MUST accept the lower video quality, boy do we regret that!  Video is pretty nice when you have it all at the max, but then you only get maybe 5 days to 2 weeks according to motion, if you are lucky.  That is just not enough in most of our issues.  Sure you can catch a lot of things in the past 3 days, but not everything. At this point in time, I would look else where for better cameras at a cheaper price, you'll be glad you did in the long run. ... View more

I have successfully deployed MV72 in temporary situations using a cradle point on LTE (Before there was the MG's)   The only difference I noticed if you are trying to watch real-time videos double or triple the delay. My testing showed as low as 12 seconds but as high as 25 seconds. But it was varied a lot.    Overall historical video playback was alittle slower (than on a wired network) I'm assuming due to the increased latency.  ... View more

If you do not have your video recorded off camera, yes you will loose video footage for good if it is stolen.  There are options to record video on other devices, however there is trade offs to doing so.  One big one is if you use the Meraki Archive license you will have to accept poor video quality, not the sharper image the camera is capable of.  If you stream with RTSP, it seems it can only be done locally to the camera, not across the web, to another location, as far as I can tell for now. ...
