MV2-HW | Meraki MV2 Indoor Flex Camera

Product Overview

The Meraki MV2-HW is a smart, cloud-managed indoor security camera designed to deliver enterprise-grade surveillance in a compact and flexible form. As part of the Meraki smart camera family, the MV2 combines advanced analytics, high-quality video, and simplified deployment to support modern business environments.

Equipped with a 4MP sensor, 103° field of view, and 1080p resolution, the MV2 provides clear, high-definition footage suitable for retail spaces, office interiors, schools, or any indoor area that requires reliable monitoring. Its built-in hinge and magnetic base allow for multiple mounting positions, with no need for extra brackets or tools. 

The camera’s smart capabilities go beyond video capture. The MV2 supports motion-based analytics, person detection, and built-in audio recording. Machine-learning algorithms run directly on the camera, eliminating the need for external servers and enabling real-time alerts and intelligent search functionality.

As a fully cloud-managed camera, the Meraki MV2-HW simplifies network video deployment. All configuration, video access, and firmware updates are handled through the Meraki dashboard, offering a secure and intuitive management experience for IT teams. With integrated Wi-Fi, USB-C or PoE power options, and no additional software required, the MV2 provides a plug-and-play solution for flexible, scalable indoor security. 

Benefits for Your Business

The Meraki MV2-HW helps reduce physical infrastructure and software complexity by combining all essential surveillance features into a single, compact unit. With no local NVRs, DVRs, or monitoring software to manage, businesses can save on both deployment time and ongoing maintenance.

Real-time visibility and smart alerts help security and operations teams stay informed even when no one is actively watching. Video footage is easily accessible via browser or mobile app, giving staff remote access without the need for VPNs or specialized devices.

The MV2 also supports Cloud Archive licenses for historical footage. Smart search tools make it easy to locate and export events for compliance, investigations, or training purposes. This enhances the organization’s ability to respond to incidents, reduce risk, and improve safety across the board.
