Meraki MV63 Fixed Lens Mini-dome, Outdoor Camera

Product Overview

The Cisco Meraki MV63-HW is a fixed-lens, mini-dome smart camera built for high-performance security in outdoor and challenging environments. Engineered with an 8MP image sensor and capable of recording up to 4K video resolution, this camera delivers clear, high-definition surveillance ideal for monitoring entrances, exits, and perimeter areas.

The MV63-HW features IR illumination up to 20 meters, IK10+ and IP67 ratings for physical durability, and is EN 50155 Railway Compliant, ensuring it stands up to shock, vibration, and extreme weather conditions. It is compact, lightweight (920g), and easy to install across various mounting types with its universal mounting plate.

With 256GB of high-endurance onboard storage, the MV63-HW minimizes dependency on external NVRs or cloud infrastructure. Video is stored locally while metadata is synchronized to the Meraki cloud, making retrieval fast, secure, and bandwidth-efficient.

Incorporating advanced machine-learning analytics, this camera supports object detection, classification, and search based on people or vehicle attributes. Built-in sensors, automatic security mechanisms, and secure boot technology ensure privacy and data protection at every layer.

MV63-HW Benefits to Your Business

The MV63-HW helps organizations achieve strong perimeter security without operational complexity. Its local storage and cloud-augmented design reduce infrastructure costs, allowing you to scale from a single site to thousands of locations without traditional NVRs or server rooms.

With motion heatmaps, object detection, line crossing, and area occupancy analytics, businesses gain meaningful insights beyond basic surveillance. These features support both security and operational intelligence across industries.

Thanks to Meraki’s centralized dashboard and smart retention features, IT teams save time managing footage, configuring alerts, and maintaining compliance. Privacy is enforced through role-based access controls and end-to-end encryption, making the MV63-HW suitable for industries with strict regulatory demands.
