MV2 Installation Guide

Overview

The Cisco Meraki MV2, a member of the second generation MV smart camera family, is a flex camera that is exceptionally simple to deploy and configure due to

its compact yet flexible form-factor and integration into the Meraki dashboard. The MV family eliminates the complex and costly servers and video recorders

required by traditional solutions which removes the limitations typically placed on video surveillance deployments.

Preparing Dashboard

The following is a brief overview of the steps required to add an MV2 to your network.

1. Login to http://dashboard.meraki.com. If this is your ﬁrst time, create a new account.

2. Find the network to which you plan to add your cameras or create a new network.

3. Add your cameras to your network. You will need your Meraki order number (found on your invoice) or the serial number of each camera, which looks

like Qxxx-xxxx-xxxx, and is found on the bottom of the unit.

4. Verify that your camera is now listed under Cameras > Monitor > Cameras.

The device can also be added to your network using the Meraki Mobile App

Firewall and Uplink Network setup

If a ﬁrewall is in place, it must allow outgoing connections on particular ports to particular IP addresses. The most current list of outbound ports and IP addresses

for your particular organization can be found here.

DNS Configuration

Each MV2 will generate a unique domain name to allow for secured direct streaming functionality. These domain names resolve an A record for the private IP

address of the camera. Any public recursive DNS server will resolve this domain.

If utilizing an on site DNS server, please whitelist *.devices.meraki.direct or configure a conditional forwarder so that local domains are not appended to

*.devices.meraki.direct and that these domain requests are forwarded to Google public DNS.

Assign Wireless Info

Use the Meraki Mobile app to share wireless info with your camera

1. Power on your camera with the AC Power adapter

It is recommended to complete these steps before physically installing your MV2.

2. On the Meraki Mobile App, select the camera to onboard. Tap configure wirelessly to onboard and follow the steps in the app

Assigning IP Addresses

At this time, the MV2 does not support static IP assignment. MV2 units must be added to a subnet that uses DHCP and has available DHCP addresses to

operate correctly.

Install Instructions

MV2 has a wide range of options for indoor installs. These include wall/ceiling mounting as well as leaving it on top of a flat-surface such as a table or a rack.

For more information, please refer to Wireless Onboarding on MV2

The camera out of the box comes with a protective lens cap. Do not remove this lens cover before installation is complete.

MV2 is an indoor only camera and should not be installed outside

Placement Guidelines

There are three ways in which you can place your MV2. These include wall/ceiling mounting as well as leaving it on top of a flat-surface such as a table or a

rack

Table-top / Flat surfaces

The rubber base of the camera is designed to provide a firm grip which in turns avoids any sliding.

Magnetic Mount

The base for the Tripod Screw mount has a magnet that can “stick” to metallic surface such as network racks or bookshelve
