Simply cloud-managed

Meraki’s innovative web-based dashboard has revolutionized networks around the world, and brings the same benefits to networked video surveillance. Zero-touch configuration, remote troubleshooting, and the ability to manage distributed sites through a single pane of glass eliminate many of the headaches administrators have dealt with for decades. The Meraki dashboard and Meraki Vision portal—a dedicated user interface for viewing and interacting with video—make the need for video management software (VMS) a thing of the past.

Easy to access, easy to control

The Meraki dashboard and Vision portal allow for flexible management and viewing—whether locally or remotely via automatic cloud proxy. This means that users can access video on a variety of devices without installing software or plug-ins or worrying about complicated VPN setup.

To ensure that users are only accessing video appropriate for their role, the Meraki dashboard has granular controls that allow organizations to define what a user can and cannot do. For example, a store manager would not need to change camera settings or access cameras at other stores they do not manage. Camera-only roles allow administrators to prevent security staff from changing network settings, limit views to only selected cameras, or restrict the export of video. Access logs allow network administrators to audit video viewing, exports, and more.

With the Meraki cloud authentication architecture, the controls scale for any organization and support Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) integration. For larger and more dynamic organizations, camera permissions can be configured based on camera roles instead of individually assigning them.
