Motion Alert Email - Motion recap image has expired

[ShawnWillard]

Has anyone experienced this with a motion alert email. It was about an hour and a half from when I received the email until I viewed the email. (Enable restricted bandwidth mode is set to NO.

@ShawnWillard No I haven't seen this, I would open a support ticket. Is your camera running the latest firmware?

[ShawnWillard]

I am running MV 3.30. It seems to be only my MV71 cameras that have this issue. All of my MV12/22 cameras are reporting just fine.

I'm seeing the same thing on all of my emails for my camera, it apparently expires a minute or two after it's captured. MV21

@ShawnWillard and @ncowger is this a recent issue or have you had it for some time?

From some recent issues that various users have had I am guessing Meraki updated some things on their dashboards back-end and this and another issue thats come up because of that.

I would both open a support case and reference this topic so that Meraki can see the problem is affecting you both and hopefully find a pattern for the cause.

Good luck!

I'm wondering if it's the email template that's messed up because I think it shouldn't even be sending motion recap alerts. According to this blog on Meraki's site, only the second generation cameras support it. So the MV21 /MV71 shouldn't have it at all.

By default, your motion alert email will include a motion recap image that corresponds to the relevant event. More on Motion Recap here. However, if you have Restricted Bandwidth Mode enabled, you will not see an image.

I will open a ticket up just to see what Meraki says. Thanks everyone. It is always nice when someone else is having a similar issue.

@ShawnWillard Let us know how you get on. I dont have motion notifications setup as the only camera I have is in a high traffic area and I don't want to get bombarded with emails.

Contacted Meraki and indeed it was a template issue that has now been fixed. Thanks everyone!
