Normally, when we write about security, we usually mean cyber-security. However today we are having a look at one of the most popular physical security products currently available; Cisco Meraki CCTV, and in particular, the Meraki MV72 Outdoor Camera.

The Cisco Meraki MV72 is a varifocal dome camera designed for outside locations where a normal CCTV would likely break when exposed to the elements. As a part of the wider Meraki MV smart camera family, it can either work by itself or work with the other cameras inside the building to give you physical security and advanced analytics.

In this article, we will look at this powerful camera, dive into its specifications, and explain why it’s rapidly becoming a favourite security solution across the UK and Europe. Watch the on-demand webinar here.

The MV72’s varifocal lens, dome camera gives you a great field of view (FoV). Once installed you will be able to record with a 36-112° horizontal FoV allowing you to see a wide angle of everything happening outside.

Motion analytics are built-in to the MV72 to provide you with the best experience when using this camera for security or space planning. Some of these features are Motion Search, Motion Recap, and Motion Heatmaps.

A great feature about Meraki CCTV systems is the flexibility of deployment based on your size. You can have any number of cameras set up on the same network from 1-10,000+. So whether you’re a small shop or a multi-national corporation, Meraki is still a fantastic option for you.

When it comes to managing your camera and viewing the recordings, you have access to Meraki’s dashboard. The dashboard has been carefully designed to be fully intuitive while giving you many ways to view your footage and analytics.
