A little over a year ago, Cisco Meraki launched a new product category and expanded its portfolio to include security cameras. The introduction of MV brought a revolutionary architecture to the world of physical security, placing video storage and processing in the same camera. Today we are unveiling MV12, which represents a major leap in security cameras and advanced video analytics.
Meraki MV12 Indoor Security Cameras Managed in the Cloud
Video surveillance without the need for NVRs or VMS recording systems, all managed from the cloud and, above all, easy to configure. Simplicity in every sense of the word.
We highlight the centralized management in the cloud, which allows us to access the image in real time, configure and make all settings from any authorized device.
camera and removes the network video recorder (NVR) from the equation. This not only dramatically simplifies installation but also provides remote troubleshooting tools, reducing resolution time and freeing up staff Meraki and works with a license model, there is no management through the Meraki control panel ensures that firmware updates The MV12 model improving excellence: Wifi, object detection and machine learning
Unlike many other video analytics solutions that require bulky servers, expensive software and often dedicated hardware to operate, MV12 stays true to Meraki’s core values by offering an all-in-one solution. It leverages the same hardware that powers many smartphones, and puts one in each camera, the work of analyzing the video happens in the camera itself, not in the cloud or on a server.
What does this mean in terms of functionality?
With an industry-leading processor, the MV12 models are not only capable of providing high-definition video (1080p), but also enable built-in analytical capabilities that previously, as we have mentioned, required additional software and hardware. Once installed, they harness the power of vision and machine learning. These cameras will learn to identify categories of objects, such as people ( not to be confused with “facial recognition”, which links images to unique identities) and gains more accuracy over time. For example, over time, MV12 will quantify how many people walked by a store’s storefront or people at a bus stop, defining patterns of behavior.
The design and internal architecture of the cameras allow storing up to 256Gb of information, without the need of any external system, and thanks to the intelligent development, the Meraki cameras are able to process the scenario and only save the information when changes are made to the image, so all unnecessary information does not waste resources:
