Calculations and Charts – MV Camera
• Meraki sends detections via a

continuous MQTT stream
• DNA Spaces generates entry /

exit events per site in real time
based on people crossing
across Trip Wire.
• Each “oid” of type “person” in

the MQTT stream is counted
as an individual
While internally the entry / exit events are

generated in real time, it can take about 2-3
minutes for the dashboard value to be
updated
