Video on the Dashboard

If video is configured and being used in the system, users can customize their dashboard view to include live video streams.

Use the video layout menu (next to the actions list) to choose how to view the video cameras.
- Overview - The dashboard displays charts with information about the system. No video will be displayed.
- 1 - Video from the selected camera will be displayed in a single tile.
- 2x2 - Video from the selected cameras will be displayed in four quadrants of equal size.
- 1+3 - Video from the selected cameras will be displayed in one large tile and three small tiles below it.
- 3x3 - Video from the selected cameras will be displayed in 9 equal-sized tiles on the screen.
- 4x4 - Video from the selected cameras will be displayed in 16 equal-sized tiles on the screen.
Select Choose a Camera in the video tile to open the Select Camera screen. If video is already being displayed in the tile, select the name or title bar to change it.
Select a camera from the list, or choose None (no camera) to leave that particular tile blank.
Meraki cameras may not be added to the dashboard video view.
Select Done.

By default, all video streams are set to low quality resolution. The streams may be changed to high quality resolution by selecting the quality from the drop-down of the video tile.

Configuring multiple high quality streams for the video layout may result in dropped frames or video stream failures. The streaming quality should be tested based on the network capacity to determine the optimal configuration.

To view more details or recorded video for one of the cameras on the dashboard, select (located in the corner of the video tile).
