Description
Meet the first of Meraki’s third generation MV series smart cameras. They are the Meraki MV63 Smart HD Camera, and the Meraki MV93 Smart HD camera. With the Meraki MV63 and Meraki MV93 series of enterprise surveillance cameras, Meraki does what it always does: Impossibly easy to set up and operate. And these cameras come with everything needed right in the box.
As a matter of fact, you can add cameras to a network before they even arrive, and adjust optical and software settings remotely. Plus, not only can you manage these cameras from a central dashboard, but you can do it from your phone. The ease of use is really crucial to having a smoothly operating, transparent network.
The “X” factor
In addition, there will be an MV63X and an MV93X. The difference is that the MV63X and the MV93X will have 1TB of on-board storage, instead of the 256GB for the standard models. They also have higher video resolution. The MV63 has up to 4MP resolution, whereas the MV63X has up to 4K. The MV93 boasts up to 2112×2112, and the MV93X reaches 2880×2880. These are both outdoor-rated cameras.
What’s the difference between the Meraki MV63 and the Meraki MV93?
The MV63 is a fixed-lens mini dome camera. On the other hand, the MV93 is a 360-degree, fisheye lens camera. And with storage capabilities from 256GB to 1TB, these new cameras meet the need for longer on-board storage with greater visibility in outdoor settings. Given the differences between these two, the Meraki MV63 Smart HD is great for outdoor areas like entrances and exits.
It combines detail needed for identification of individuals, with larger area context. On the other hand, the Meraki MV93 Smart HD is perfect for any outdoor environment that requires 360-degree visibility. It’s ideal for deployments requiring visibility across an open area, like parking lots and garages, including manufacturing environments.
The MV93 can also be used in indoor environments when IR illumination is required. In scenarios that require wall-mounted installation, longer on-board storage or higher resolution, only MV93 can satisfy all these requirements.
Cool features of the Meraki MV63 and the Meraki MV93
All four cameras have long-range built-in IR illuminators and low light mode (this feature is lacking in the MV32, Meraki’s indoor-rate fisheye camera). They all support wireless connectivity with an ethernet PoE injector (like the other models). Plus, the MV63 and MV93 series have built-in microphones to capture audio when enabled.
These cameras also have a switch on the back of the camera to help with an additional layer of control to enable or disable the microphone as needed. And, they both have a IP67 weather-proofing and IK10+ vandal-resistance rating. Both can operate in temperatures between -40°C – 50°C (-40°F – 122°F). And remember, the cloud-based MV interface is imminently friendly to use. Wouldn’t be a Meraki if it wasn’t.
