Import cameras​

info

In Kisi, you can only connect at most one door to a camera, but doors might have multiple cameras associated.

  1. On your Kisi place dashboard, click on Hardware and select the Cameras tab
  2. Click on Import Camera and select the name of the integration you created above
  3. Fill out the requested information
  4. Click Import

Imported cameras will show in the list. When the associated door is unlocked, snapshots will be created and appear in the Event History. Events with snapshots are marked with a camera icon.

Snapshots may be delayed by up to ten minutes based on how soon they're available through the Cisco Meraki snapshot API, or longer if the API limits of the Cisco Meraki account have been exhausted.
