Pause Processing and Deleting Video

We provide options to pause processing and delete video.

Pause Processing

Organizations in EMEA can use the pause and delete options for GDPR purposes.

Set aside or mark videos for review using the Share menu on the Camera Status Page or Video Wall.

Mark and pause video by selecting the arrow next to Share > Pause processing for GDPR. Use the slider to choose a time section to pause. After selecting a section, click Pause Processing at the top-right of the video screen. The paused section will be added to the Paused Clips list.

Paused clips are hidden from the stream and remain unprocessed until Unpaused. They are stored without being overwritten and can be up to 24 hours long.

Paused video clips are stored locally and use the camera's internal storage. Storing large amounts of paused clips may impact video retention times, as the storage they occupy cannot be overwritten or reused while paused.

Delete Video

Organizations in EMEA can use the pause and delete options for GDPR purposes.

  1. To permanently delete a video, go to the Share menu on the Camera Status Page or Video Wall.
  2. Select the arrow next to Share and choose Delete. Use the slider to select the time range for deletion. The maximum time range for a single request is 24 hours. Requests exceeding 24 hours will not be processed.
  3. After selecting the time range, click Delete Video at the top-right of the video screen. The selected video section will be permanently deleted and removed from the timeline slider.

Deleted video is permanently lost and cannot be recovered. Meraki cameras store all videos on local storage, and Meraki does not maintain backups of camera video.
