Meraki MV33 Indoor 360 Fisheye Camera | 256GB Onboard Storage

Product Overview

The Meraki MV33-HW delivers next-level visibility with a compact, indoor 360° fisheye lens camera built for intelligent monitoring. Designed for wide-area surveillance in a minimal footprint, the MV33 combines a powerful 12.4MP image sensor with edge-based analytics and efficient bandwidth usage ideal for offices, education facilities, retail environments, and more.

With its 180° horizontal and vertical field of view, the MV33 captures complete situational awareness in open areas like lobbies, classrooms, and hallways. The camera records video at up to 2880×2880 resolution using H.264 Smart Codec to optimize storage while preserving detail.

The integrated 256GB of solid-state storage enables local video retention and cloud-augmented access without relying on NVRs or additional infrastructure. The MV33’s secure edge architecture includes built-in motion search, heat maps, and object detection powered by machine learning—bringing advanced security features to everyday use cases.

Its sleek design includes a new universal mounting plate for easy installation in a variety of indoor environments. With direct live streaming from the browser and remote video access through the Meraki Vision Portal, the MV33-HW offers simplified surveillance without compromising quality or security.

MV33-HW Benefits to Your Business

The MV33-HW brings robust surveillance capabilities to your business while reducing operational complexity. Its panoramic coverage means fewer cameras are needed to monitor large or open areas, saving on both hardware and deployment costs. The built-in storage eliminates the need for separate video recorders, streamlining infrastructure while improving reliability.

From a security standpoint, the MV33 enhances visibility through intelligent motion indexing, line crossing alerts, and occupancy analytics. These features allow your security teams to quickly respond to incidents and retrieve critical footage without digging through hours of recordings.

IT administrators benefit from Meraki’s centralized dashboard, where role-based access controls, automatic firmware updates, and end-to-end encryption protect sensitive data. With its NDAA compliance and easy scalability, the MV33 is suited for organizations of any size that demand reliable, smart video surveillance.
