Meraki MV71 Outdoor HD Dome Camera & 3 year license
-
Mod Edit: Thread is open for discussion, but due to error the equipment is not available. Read the thread before jumping in.
I just won one of these in a contest over on the SW forums and I think I'd like to sell it. I'll be posting it on craigslist locally but thought I'd post here to see if anyone has been looking at something similar and wants a deal. These are selling on Amazon from Meraki for $1574...pm me or make me an offer if interested. Assuming it gets here by the 19th, I could bring it to Mangocon.

Isn't there some kind of stipulation in place that you can't just turn around and sell it?

I haven't gotten it yet but I doubt it. I have Meraki AP's in place now and I set them up, entered the info on the meraki portal and I was done. I would imagine I could use this for personal use instead of at my work and they wouldn't care one way or the other.

What's the point of the license on a camera? Does it just turn off after the license expires?

The licensing gets it connected to the portal where its managed from. Without the license, its pretty useless since its all managed through the cloud unless there'd be some way to access it directly.

So like everything Cisco Meraki forced licensing.
Seems like a bad thing to ever invest into.
-
@dustinb3403 The point is to make Cisco more money, those greedy bastards. List price = too much already, but did you actually want to use the device? That's gonna cost you extra.
I had one of their "free" WAPs. It was ok except for the fact that I knew it had an expiration date and the company wouldn't shell out a single cent for such a BS licensing model.

Since using the Meraki APs, I would never go to a different solution. They're phenomenal products and I think most people on here who are familiar with Meraki would attest to that.

@tracy_burton the product is fine, the licensing model can eat a dick.

We have meraki's AP and firewall here, which kind of boggles my mind. Licensing to use something you're paying retail for (forever).
It's not like a cell phone upgrade program either. Cisco: "Ohh you want the new model? That'll be $1400 plus an extra $50/month forever" (on top of the existing monthly subscription)

I won the thing and thought someone may be able to use it and a much lower price than suggested retail. If you don't want it, fine. No one asked anyone to come in here and start bashing the product. Its a decent product and if you don't want it, fine.

Not grumpy at all. I posted something here that I thought someone may want and a bunch of people come in here and start trashing it. Do you comb through your local craigslist ads and email the people selling stuff to tell them their stuff is a pile of shit too?

No because that would be spamming, here I was simply commenting on a product. If craigslist had that option, I'd do it there too.

Whatever. If you don't want it, don't buy it. Its that simple...move on to another thread.

No, but that's not the point of Craigslist right? This is an IT Discussion forum and we're discussing a product that relates to IT. I've had experience with Meraki, it's underpowered, overpriced, and for the most part, their support is awful compared to the community or free support available for other vendors. That's my ancedotal bit but the experience from using Meraki has left a sour taste in my mouth on more then one occasion.

@tracy_burton people around here try to help each other out... so those of us who have had cisco/meraki crap are warning those who might not know that they should avoid cisco and meraki like an unvaccinated child.
Honestly, what dollar amount are you expecting to get for this camera that will self destruct in 3 years if you don't pay lots more money?

Not to mention that you can get comparable hardware for less then 200$ with the same functionality ("cloud" console) and better picture quality.

I wouldn't disagree but I didn't post this asking for opinions and no one asked for them. However you have a valid point because of first hand experience. I did not have that experience and considering the stuff on my plate on a daily basis, I want some things to be simple (like knowing my wifi works without a hitch) and since I'm not paying for it out of my pocket, I recommend what I want. Meraki has never come up short for me. If I was in the market for security cameras and having my experience with Meraki, I would definitely consider them especially if I could get one at a discounted price.
