Battery Installation and Mounting Installation Steps
Please note—the MT20 is powered with one AA-battery. The expected battery life when used with this
product is estimated to be 5 years.
Step 1—remove side cover from the main sensor housing (1) and (2) remove device’s top cover as shown
below. Insert the one AA-Battery.
Step 2—using two of the mounting screws, screw in body of the MT20 into the upper-right side of the door.
Once the MT20 is secure, snap on the cover.
Note: During first time setup, the MT20 will automatically update to the latest stable firmware.
Some features may be unavailable until this automatic update is completed. This process may
take up to 10 minutes due to enabling of whole disk encryption.

Step 3—Using the remaining two mounting screws, place the magnet housing on the upper-right side of the
frame of the door and directly adjacent to the main MT20 body as shown below.
Examples of Placement Locations
Here are some examples of where the MT20 can be setup and placed in a networking environment.

Bluetooth 5.0
The MT20 features Bluetooth 5.0 which allows the device to perform over long distance with other Meraki
networking devices to monitor the environment it will be used in.
Configure your MT20 in the Networking using Dashboard
The following is a brief overview only of the steps required to add a MT20 to your network. For detailed
instructions about creating, configuring, and managing Meraki IoT networks, refer to the online
documentation (https://documentation.meraki.com/MT).
1. Login to http://dashboard.meraki.com. If this is your first time, create a new account.
2. Find the network to which you plan to add your MT20(s) or create a new network.
3. Add your MT20(s) to your new network. You will need your Meraki order number (found on your
invoice) or the serial number of each camera, which looks like Qxxx-xxxx-xxxx, and is found on the
bottom of the unit.
4. Verify that the camera is now listed under IoT> Monitor > IoT.
Check and Configure Firewall Settings
If a firewall is in place, it must allow outgoing connections to particular ports using given IP addresses. The
most current list of outbound ports and IP addresses for your particular organization can be found here.
DNS Configuration
Each MT20 will generate a unique domain name to allow for secured direct streaming functionality. These
domain names resolve an A record for the private IP address of the camera. Any public recursive DNS
server will resolve this domain.
If utilizing an onsite DNS server, please whitelist *.devices.meraki.direct or configure a conditional forwarder
so that the local domains are not appended to *.devices.meraki.direct and that these domain requests are
forwarded to Google public DNS.
Assigning IP Addresses
At this time, the MT20 does not support static IP assignment. MT20 units must be added to a subnet that
uses DHCP and has available DHCP addresses to operate correctly.
