Cisco Meraki MV

We previously used an SOHO option, and it was not scalable, and the UX was abysmal. We heavily leverage Meraki in our environment, and I have seen the Meraki cameras before. Like any Meraki product, it's easy to configure, deploy, and manage. This significantly improved UX, even when we do encounter some issues.

There are lots of more-qualified features of Cisco Meraki MV Cameras in some cases such as Object Detection is very important and open topic that can be grown. API support and AI features can be added I assume and good results can be come. Also Machine Learning feature can be used as a sales way.

Anywhere you need to detect intrusion, accidents or similar.

The object detection algorithm works excellently for the detection of people and things for the purpose of tracking their movement. Integrating these trigger points to count users works very well. These cameras would be overkill for simple "security monitoring."

They work well as security cameras and the one we have works well in the lobby. I wouldn't hesitate to get more as the need arises. I can't think of a situation where they wouldn't work well. The motion detection and activity zones work great. They can also work with the various sensors Meraki offers, making them more of a smart camera.

Does not work well in the dark, but I guess that is the environment and common to other solutions. Love the heat maps and the increasing features that are being rolled out

The Cisco Meraki MV2 camera is well suited, in our experience, for our front desk operations. Again, with light traffic, it can act as a stand-in for a person - this saves greatly on cost and allows people's resources to be better utilized. Our focus is on the dashboard, which provides all additional information as needed.

The Cisco Meraki MV Cameras work well for surveillance and managing traffic. It also embeds very well with the other Meraki component and offers great management options, although some features are not necessarily built in and require a third party software. However it does offer an amazing Cloud based solution for all sizes of shops. Especially in retail with add-ons.

Usually, Meraki MV cost is quite high, so you need to deal with an experienced Cisco partner to make sure you're getting the greatest discounts you can have, especially for larger deployments. In opposite, in very small deals, Meraki MV can be an attractive solution based on price as you don't even need to buy a NVR. Just like with Meraki MR (access points), you can get great analytics info from the solution, and even more with some third party solutions on top of it. As you pay for a licence, Meraki has a evergreen model so make sure to always have the latest and greatest features.

We use the [Cisco Meraki MV's] to monitor outside areas around campus and inside areas. Best suited to see activity in an area - via their heat maps really helps. Depending on how much the camera is zoomed in, the lighting, and type of motion, it is hard to get details like a license plate or a super clear picture of someone's face. Lots of variables play into this, so it's not necessarily Meraki's fault.
