300-435 Question 296
Select 3You are tasked with creating a custom application that leverages Meraki MV Sense APIs to detect the number of people in a specific area using a Meraki camera. Which of the following steps must you include to successfully use MV Sense APIs for this purpose?
- A
Enable the MV Sense feature on the desired Meraki camera in the dashboard.
- B
Obtain a valid API key from the Cisco Meraki dashboard.
- C
Configure the camera's resolution to the highest setting to improve accuracy.
- D
Use the API endpoint to subscribe to motion event data or zone analytics.
- E
Ensure the camera is connected to a Meraki MV Cloud Archive.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, D
Explanation
To use the MV Sense API for detecting the number of people in an area, you must ensure the MV Sense feature is enabled on the camera, authenticate API requests using a valid API key, and utilize the appropriate API endpoints for motion or zone analytics. These steps are essential for accessing and processing the required data. Configuration of camera resolution and connection to the MV Cloud Archive are not relevant to MV Sense API functionality.
- A. Correct.
Enabling the MV Sense feature on the Meraki camera is required to access the analytics data and use the MV Sense API.
- B. Correct.
A valid API key is needed to authenticate requests to the Meraki API for accessing MV Sense data.
- C. Incorrect.
Camera resolution settings do not directly impact the MV Sense API functionality for detecting people or motion. This step is not required.
- D. Correct.
Using the appropriate API endpoint for motion event data or zone analytics is necessary to retrieve relevant information for detecting people in a specific area.
- E. Incorrect.
Connecting the camera to Meraki MV Cloud Archive is not a requirement for using the MV Sense API. This service is for video storage and does not affect API capabilities.
