Why should you switch to Meraki Smart Cameras? The list of benefits is endless. Here are a few:

  • Plenty of time can be saved by using the Motion Search feature within the Meraki Dashboard

  • Two-factor authentication provides security
  • Export/share directly with MP4 files

Meraki Smart Cameras use WAN bandwidth, but only when needed. When footage is not being viewed, it eliminates excessive WAN usage. Even if your network were to fail, the cameras will always continue to record.

There are so many insightful features from the MV line. Let’s discuss two of our favorites.

Heat Maps

MV Cameras can actually be used as sensors. The motion heat map allows users to see relative motion in an area over time. It also provides insights into how an area is being used. Fortunately, the motion heat maps only require a small amount of metadata. So there is no need to worry about cumbersome video files.

Object Detection

You will now have the ability to view which displays are attracting the most attention from your consumers. Even get a more clear understanding of your drive-thru traffic or how many parking spots are being utilized. The camera uses computer vision to detect people and vehicles, which will increase accuracy over time. Before smart cameras, you would only be able to do this with huge, bulky servers. 

So simple to deploy, configure, and manage. Meraki Smart Cameras will make your life easier! If you are looking to keep your business safe and secure, these cameras are your solution. Send us an email sales@simplecloudnetwork.com or visit the “contact” section of our website.
