Cisco Meraki MV23M
Indoor varifocal lens dome camera with up to 60 days of retention

Overview:

Crystal-clear 4K video recording with up to 60 days of intelligently optimized retention.

The Meraki MV23, part of the third generation of MV smart cameras, combines physical security and advanced analytics in a powerful, yet compact varifocal dome form factor. With an edge architecture that minimizes physical infrastructure and software requirements, MV23 enables faster, easier deployments and greater scalability.

Security in high definition

The ultra-high-performance MV23 series camera supports up to 4K resolution for high-definition video, delivering the level of detail needed to stay on top of what matters.

Compact and easy to install, MV23 series cameras are compatible with a variety of mounting accessories, delivering the right viewing angle wherever they are placed. MV23 series cameras are ideal for monitoring entrances and exits, as well as the general perimeter, from walls, ceilings, or even corner-mount locations.

Using machine-learning-based computer vision, MV23 cameras can perform real-time object detection, classification, and tracking of people and vehicles to increase safety and provide useful insights into activity. These smart cameras deliver powerful business intelligence without compromising physical security.

Cutting edge architecture with streamlined managment

Meraki MV architecture

Meraki brings simplicity to physical security deployments with expertise in distributed computing. With cloud-augmented edge storage, MV smart cameras provide groundbreaking ease of installation, configuration, and operation. Eliminating the NVR reduces equipment CapEx and the simplified architecture minimizes lifetime OpEx costs.

Each MV smart camera comes with integrated, ultra-reliable, industrial-grade storage. This cutting-edge technology allows the system to efficiently scale to any size, with storage expanding with the addition of each camera. Plus, as video is stored locally, administrators can rest easy knowing that even if the network connection cuts out, the cameras will continue to record footage.

Integrated wireless for flexible deployments

As the primary storage is on the camera itself, very little bandwidth is used unless video is being watched. This unique architecture makes it possible to wirelessly deploy MV smart cameras with minimal impact to the network. All MVs have wireless functionality built in, meaning they can be deployed without having to run new cabling for connectivity. The option for wireless deployments offers organizations an easy upgrade path for analog cameras without the need for recabling and allows greater flexibility for remote or temporary sites.

Secure and always up-to-date

Centralized cloud management offers one of the most secure platforms available for camera operation. Built with Cisco Trust Anchor modules, secure boot, firmware image signing, and runtime defenses, MV smart cameras are protected and tamper-proof. Access to the camera is encrypted with a public key infrastructure (PKI) that includes individual camera certificates. Local video is also encrypted by default and adds a final layer of security. All security measures are on by default, require no user configuration, and cannot be turned off.

Software updates are managed automatically for the delivery of new features and to enable rapid security updates. Scheduled maintenance windows ensure the MV family continues to address users’ needs with the delivery of new features as part of the cloud service.
