Traffic analytics - Rogue camera streaming

crixis — Mon, 18 Dec 2023 17:02:01 GMT

Is there a way to detect wireless clients streaming video from a cell phone camera or tablet camera?

How would you go about restricting this?

Thanks in advance.

I don't see a way to do this without having System Manager installed on the client's device (the restriction issue in this case), as for detecting who is streaming the video, I believe it is something that is not possible.

You should be able to see the traffic in the Network Wide - Clients view, see below where I selected miscellaneous video from the pie chart:

It does also show the host connected to below the image shown above.

Thanks for pointing that out, is that Rule detail a default rule or measurement, my Network Wide Clients view doesnt have a slice named like that, i have "Applications - Miscellaneous secure web" and of the pie chart slices, none are name Miscellaneous Video. Just wondering if its something we need to classify/setup or if our problematic client is getting filed under something else. Thanks

Set traffic analytics to detailed.

This is how we have it currently.

You'll only see a traffic category if it is detected. If the client is encrypting the video then it may well be ending up in the misc secure web bucket.

If your Meraki devices/firmware support NBAR, that can improve visibility, see this for full details...
