WHICH CAMERA IS IDEAL FOR STORING 24/7 RECORDINGS?

The MV12, MV22, MV32 and MV72 have the highest storage capacities at 256GB. However, the other 128GB models still have the capacity to store 20 days of 24/7 recording. Meraki also offers cloud-based archiving options for long-term storage purposes.

DO ANY CAMERAS HAVE ANALYTICS BUILT-IN?

All cameras come with motion search and motion heat mapping. The MV12, MV22, MV32 and MV72 have machine-learning capabilities that power intelligent computer vision, including detecting people within view.

WHAT MAKES CAMERAS “OUTDOOR”?

The MV71 and MV72 models are outdoor cameras. They are weather-resistant, and have an IP67 rating, making them water resistant to one-meter-deep water for thirty minutes. They also have the highest impact rating, allowing for jostling, slips and drops.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN WHEN A CAMERA USES MACHINE LEARNING?

Cameras that use machine learning are equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, and our teams “train” the detectors by feeding it new stimuli. Over time, the cameras learn to recognize environmental stimuli and continually improve their intelligent object detection capabilities. For example, smart Meraki cameras can detect people and vehicles.

WHAT CAMERAS HAVE AUDIO RECORDING?

The MV12 series, MV22, MV32 and MV72 cameras have audio recording.
