Additional controls to help with the increased sensitivity of the new Motion Search 2.0 algorithm are on the way.   All outdoor cameras are susceptible to insects trigger false alerts due to the infra red illuminators making them appear very bright to the camera when they fly close to the lens. External or ancillary IR illuminators completely resolve this issue and are recommended in environments where there are lots of flying insects.  ... View more

Note that we don't support MV22 for outdoor deployments. Although the environmental conditions maybe benign, other factors can impact the quality of the camera's video or cause a failure. For example insects will try and get inside the camera and can cause a problem. Ants in your camera is not covered by the warranty ...  ... View more

Hi, I am logged in remotely and I cannot zoom in / out on any camera using my mouse. Does this feature require someone to be logged in from within the same network / subnet as the cameras are?   Can someone who has only been granted monitoring authorization do zoom in / out on a live view of the cameras?   Thanks ...

Hi @GeorgeB , to just circulate back to this question now with the release of motion recap,   can you please elaborate or provide some reference to how we should go about calculating network bandwidth usage with motion recap enabled.   I believe the design limit is 200kbps with recap enabled but is this realistic, what kbps should we budget on a typical camera with recap enabled with frequent activity.   We have a client looking at potentially running 250+ cameras, but the question has been raised about bandwidth on the WAN connection. ...

So I think I've just been too impatient, thinking that when I click the blue bar I'll see something, when in fact there has been something, I just have to wait a full minute or so until it shows up.   The way the indexing of the video files and people detector meta data works means there could be offset from the actual event by +/- 30 seconds.  A little patients normally pays off 🙂 Alternatively just press number 2 or number 3 on your keyboard to watch the playback sped up. ...

Wow, they also have just completed human vs car identification, you can also filter video based on these variables. 2 seconds, now that's impressive, this should be at the top of the list considering all mentioned above. thanks for the update. ... View more

Going to add my name in here. I set up an MV72 over the weekend and I'm having this problem. It was on 3.25 originally, and I upgraded to 3.27, but it's still happening.  ... View more

Agreed @mwiener and @wey2go  this is definitely a "your mileage may vary" type of situation, no two camera deployments are every going to have the same exact illumination conditions.  If you were looking for a rule of thumb, from experience with my own customers, I'd say between 40 and 50 feet.  But again, it's an "it depends" type of answer, in the example I used for my driveway MV71, it does improve the overall scene at night, both up close and out to 70-80 feet into the street. ...

I see it as more of an issue with distance from a switch. Wireless can extend your reach to an area that is over 100m and has power readily available (not different than an AP in mesh mode).   ... View more

SteveM wrote: 1080p HD Camera the chip in MV21 / MV71 - i think - can do 1080p HD. i guess the SSD was to small to enable it. now, using motion based retention, it should be ok to record FHD. (data protection laws limit the amount of hours recorded anyway).   in case i am right, that the chip can do 1080p, please enable that as an option!   SteveM wrote: Wireless Option w/WEP/WPA/WPA2 Encryption well, we need power anyway. using PoE we have power and network. but i agree, sometimes it would be nice to avoid the network cable.   not sure if the MV21/71 has a usb bus internally. if yes, then meraki could think about attaching WLAN to MV like attaching LTE to MX (usb-stick).   SteveM wrote: Zoom video on playback should be possible. i'd love to see a 360 hi-res cam and pan/tilt like on youtube 360 videos (there is no zoom in youtube, but i am sure it can be implemented).   SteveM wrote: Off Camera Storage to Cloud - Enough to handle 90 days. well, using motion based retention, you can almost achive 90days without offloading the video. there is great advantage to keep all securely on the cam (bandwidth, data protection) (except for the case the cam is stolen or physically destroyed - recording gone without offload).   i think it can be done technically with the existing hardware: just stream the video to a given IP/port in a defined protocol (like an IP cam) another NVR can read (in addition to local recording).   SteveM wrote: Two-way Audio  has been answered some place else here. can't be done with the existing hardware (MV21/71) and is highly critical in regard to the data protection laws in some countries. in case it is implemented in a HW revision, please make sure the microphone can be turned off!   audio output would create some really intresting possabilities.   SteveM wrote: Motion Detection Alerts to Cell Phone or popup on Dashboard - (highly sensitive areas) please implement! i've requested that from the first day on 🙂 since the release of MV analytics, i know it can be done (and is practically there already). i'd prefere an email notification rather then a phone call.   ...

sooner or later the WAN connection will be reestablished, i'd say. in the worst case you bring the cams back online within another network that has internet connectivity.   most important, i'd say is, that the cams do record while the WAN is not available. ... View more

@GeorgeB Ya I totally get that storage retention is the main focus. However, it would be nice to at least give the option to people to set a higher resolution but it could also indicate how many days of storage would be lost by doing so. For my needs, a higher resolution is more important than storage retention. If I could get a couple days worth of storage at 1080p, I would be happy. ... View more
