Pre-Install Preparation

You should complete the following steps before going on-site to perform an installation:

Configure Your Network in Dashboard

The following is a brief overview only of the steps required to add an MV32 to your network. For detailed instructions
about creating, configuring and managing Meraki Camera networks, refer to the online documentation
(

https://documentation.meraki.com/MV

).

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 you the camera is now listed under

Cameras > Monitor > Cameras

.

Check and Configure Firewall Settings

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 MV32 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.

Assigning IP Addresses

At this time, the MV32 does not support static IP assignment. MV32 units must be added to a subnet that uses DHCP
and has available DHCP addresses to operate correctly.

Installation Instructions

Note:

Each MV32 comes with an instruction pamphlet within the box. This pamphlet contains detailed step by step

guides and images to assist in the physical install of the camera. A pdf of the pamphlet can be found

here
