Pause Processing and Deleting Video
We provide options to pause processing and delete video.
Pause Processing
The pause and delete options are only available for organizations located in EMEA for GDPR purposes.
Video that needs to be set aside or marked for further review can be set under the Share menu on the Camera Status Page or Video Wall.
Video can be marked and paused by selecting the arrow next to Share > Pause processing for GDPR. A slider will appear that allows you to select a time section to pause. Once a section has been selected, click Pause Processing at the top-right section of the video screen. The paused selection will be added to the Paused clips list.
Paused clips will not be viewable in the stream and will not be processed until 'Unpaused.' These clips will be stored and will not be overwritten. Each paused clip can be up to 24 hours long.
Note that paused video clips are stored locally and will consume space on the internal storage of the camera. Storing large amounts of video in Paused clips may impact video retention times, as the internal storage of the camera will not overwrite paused clips and will not be able to use the storage they consume while paused.
Delete Video
The pause and delete options are only available for organizations located in EMEA for GDPR purposes.
Video that needs to be permanently deleted can be deleted under the Share menu on the Camera Status Page or Video Wall.
Video can be deleted by selecting the arrow next to Share > Delete. A slider will appear that allows you to select a time section to delete. There is a maximum time range of 24 hours that can be selected for each deletion request; any request greater than 24 hours will not be actioned.
Once a section has been selected, click Delete Video at the top-right section of the video screen. The deleted selection will be permanently removed, and will no longer be marked as green on the timeline slider.
Note that video which has been deleted is permanently lost and cannot be recovered. Meraki cameras store all video on local storage and Meraki does not keep backups of camera video.
