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
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
It is recommended to complete these steps before physically installing your MV2.
Use the Meraki Mobile app to share wireless info with your camera
