Benefits
- Provides panoramic 360-degree indoor coverage from a single fisheye camera, reducing blind spots and the number of cameras needed in open areas.
- Allows users to digitally pan, tilt, zoom and dewarp recorded footage after an event, even though the physical lens remains fixed.
- Captures detailed 8MP video that provides broad context while retaining useful investigation detail.
- Reduces surveillance infrastructure with local video storage and cloud-managed operation instead of a separate NVR or on-premises VMS server.
- Helps security teams locate relevant activity faster using motion search, motion recap, heat maps, event search, line-crossing and occupancy analytics.
- Supports secure remote monitoring and multi-site camera management from the Meraki Dashboard.
- Reduces bandwidth demand through Smart Codec encoding and locally stored video.
- Provides a scalable security-camera platform for small sites through large enterprise camera deployments.
