Cisco Meraki cameras changed the playbook for business video security. Before Meraki, surveillance meant NVR stacks, fragmented software, and complex maintenance. Meraki reinvented the category by delivering cameras that work natively with the Meraki platform — the same cloud-managed ecosystem IT teams use for switches, wireless, firewalls, sensors, and SD-WAN.

Today’s Meraki MV lineup is no longer just "cameras." It’s a complete cloud-native physical security system powered by edge analytics, local solid-state storage, and intuitive management from a single dashboard. The newest models bring improved image quality, stronger AI, higher durability, deeper retention options, and broader coverage patterns tailored for modern SMBs, campuses, retail, and multisite environments.

If you’re upgrading from older systems — or designing a new multi-location security footprint — this is the most capable and comprehensive MV generation yet.

The Current Meraki Camera Portfolio (2025, Non–End-of-Life)

Meraki now offers a streamlined, purpose-built portfolio. Each model aligns to a specific coverage requirement: indoor, outdoor, wide-area, telephoto, compact, ceiling-mounted, or multi-imager.

Here is the current, active Meraki camera lineup:

Indoor Compact & General Purpose

• MV2 – compact indoor flex camera

• MV13 / MV13X – next-gen indoor fixed cameras

• MV23 / MV23X – premium indoor UHD cameras with advanced analytics

• MV33 – indoor 360° fisheye camera

Outdoor & Hardened Models

• MV63 / MV63X – compact outdoor mini-dome, ideal for entrances and perimeters

• MV73 / MV73X – outdoor bullet cameras with long-range IR and high detail

• MV93 / MV93X – outdoor 360° fisheye for large-area situational visibility

Specialty Cameras

• MV53X – telephoto long-range outdoor bullet for parking lots, perimeters, large campuses

• MV84X – multi-imager camera with four lenses in one housing for wide coverage

Every model supports advanced analytics, encrypted storage, API integrations, and cloud-based configuration through the Meraki Dashboard.

What’s New Across the Latest MV Generation

Cisco Meraki has built the newest MV generation around three priorities: clarity, intelligence, and simplicity. The latest models deliver major advancements that matter for real-world deployments.

1. Higher Resolution & Better Low-Light Performance

Most MV models now support 4K or high-resolution 1080p sensors with improved dynamic range. Outdoor units (MV63X, MV73X, MV53X) include stronger IR illumination and better night-time detail capture.

This is especially valuable for:

• Entrances and exits

• Warehouses or dimly lit spaces

• Parking lots and long-range surveillance

• Low-light indoor environments

2. Expanded Onboard Storage — Up to 1 TB SSD

Many camera models now support 1 TB of onboard, encrypted SSD storage, removing the need for NVRs entirely. Combined with Meraki’s Smart Retention, customers can store weeks or months of high-quality video with no extra hardware.

3. Powerful Edge Analytics with No Servers Required

Meraki cameras are self-contained analytics engines. AI and machine learning run directly on the camera.

Capabilities include:

• People and vehicle detection

• Object presence and motion analytics

• Heat maps and occupancy trends

• Motion search by area or pattern

• Attribute-based filtering

• Custom CV models through APIs

Everything processes on the camera — not in the cloud or on a server — giving you faster insights and better privacy.

4. Rugged Durability for Harsh Environments

Outdoor models (MV63X, MV73X, MV93X, MV53X) include:

• IP67 weather protection

• IK10/IK10+ vandal resistance

• Hardened metal housings

• Temperature-tolerant components

Ideal for perimeters, parking, industrial yards, and exposed locations.

5. Zero-Touch Deployment & Unified Management

Every Meraki camera:

• Registers automatically in the Meraki Dashboard

• Pulls configurations instantly

• Updates firmware without user intervention

• Is managed from the same console as networking + IoT

Cloud-first architecture reduces onsite workloads and ensures cameras stay up to date with the latest capabilities.
