  • Camera
    • Video Camera Resolution: Full HD (1080p) (Refers to the number of pixels, both horizontally and vertically, used to capture video/images. The higher the resolution the finer the detail that can be seen.)
    • Camera Resolution: 1080 (Refers to the number of pixels, both horizontally and vertically, used to capture video/images. The higher the resolution the finer the detail that can be seen.)
    • Effective Pixels: 4 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
    • Field Of View: 112 degrees (The area of a target, measured as an angle from the location of viewing, that can be observed.)
    • Night Vision: true
    • Night Vision Distance: 98 feet
    • Number Of Cameras Included: 1
    • Frame Rate: 20 frames per second (The frequency at which consecutive images can be captured. The higher the frame rate, the more detail that can be captured.)
    • Day/Night Mode: true (Captures images/video with optimal clarity by automatically adjusting settings to various light levels.)
    • IP Camera: true (An Internet Protocol (IP) camera is able to record and display image/video data via the internet, without need for a local recording device.)
    • Minimum Required Illumination: 0.01 lux (Refers to the minimum amount of light needed to view objects. Generally, the lower the number, the better the camera can detect objects in little to no light.)
    • Image Sensor Type: CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)

The Cisco Meraki MV72-HW is a cloud-managed outdoor varifocal dome security camera engineered for enterprise, commercial, and industrial deployments where reliability and intelligence matter. Built around a 1/3-inch 4MP CMOS sensor, it records at up to 1080p (1920x1080) at 20fps with H.264 encoding and HDR, delivering sharp footage in high-contrast lighting conditions such as building entrances, parking lots, and loading docks. The 3-9mm varifocal lens is physically adjusted on-site during installation, providing a horizontal field of view from 36 to 112 degrees — the equivalent of up to 3x coverage adjustment without swapping hardware. Unlike traditional IP cameras that require a separate Network Video Recorder, the MV72-HW stores footage directly on its 256GB onboard high-endurance SSD, dramatically simplifying installation and reducing infrastructure cost. All camera management, live viewing, motion-triggered alerts, and on-camera analytics are handled through the Cisco Meraki cloud Dashboard, accessible from any browser or the Meraki mobile app. The camera is powered by a single 802.3at PoE+ Ethernet cable (max 23.4W) and also supports optional 802.11a/b/g/n/ac dual-band Wi-Fi for deployments where a cable run is not practical. Built-in IR illuminators provide effective night vision to 30m (98ft), with a minimum illumination of 0.01 lux in night mode and automatic day/night IR cut filter switching. The IP67-rated and IK10-rated aluminum housing includes an integrated heater that activates automatically below 32 degrees F, maintaining operation from -40 degrees F to 122 degrees F. Onboard machine learning enables real-time person detection, vehicle detection, motion heatmaps, and people counting without any external servers or software. This unit is unclaimed — a Cisco Meraki MV camera license is required for activation and must be purchased separately.

  • 4MP Sensor, 1080p HD Security Camera, 20fps H.264 HDR: The 1/3-inch 4MP CMOS sensor captures at 2688x1520 native resolution. Video records and streams at up to 1920x1080 (1080p) at 20 frames per second with H.264 encoding and high dynamic range (HDR). Full sensor resolution powers on-camera analytics for person and vehicle detection even when video output is 1080p.
  • Varifocal Dome Camera, 36 to 112 Deg FOV, 3-9mm Lens: The 3-9mm varifocal lens is physically adjusted on-site during installation to set focal length and field of view. Horizontal FOV ranges from 36 to 112 degrees, giving coverage flexibility from a narrow focused view to a wide-area scene. Tilt (65 degrees), rotation (plus/minus 90 degrees), and pan (354 degrees) are set mechanically — lens optics are not software-controlled.
  • 256GB Onboard SSD Storage, No Separate NVR Required: 256GB high-endurance solid-state storage records footage locally on the camera, eliminating the need for a separate Network Video Recorder (NVR) or Video Management System (VMS) for local storage. This reduces installation cost, removes a network security vulnerability, and lets the system scale by simply adding cameras. Remote footage access and optional cloud archive backup are available via the Meraki Dashboard.
  • IP67 Weatherproof, IK10 Vandal-Resistant, -40 to 122 Deg F: Rugged aluminum housing rated IP67 (complete dust ingress protection and immersion resistance) and IK10 (high-impact vandal resistance per IEC 62262). An integrated heater activates automatically below 32 degrees F (0 degrees C), maintaining normal operation down to -40 degrees F (-40 degrees C) — suitable for rooftops, parking structures, and cold-climate outdoor deployments.
  • Night Vision 98ft, Motion Detection, Person-Vehicle AI: Built-in IR illuminators provide effective night vision to 30m (98ft), with automatic IR cut filter day/night switching. Minimum illumination 0.18 lux standard / 0.01 lux night mode. Onboard machine learning runs person detection, vehicle detection, motion heatmaps, and people counting in real time — no external servers required. NDAA compliant. Meraki MV license required (sold separately).
  • 4MP Sensor, 1080p HD Security Camera, 20fps H.264 HDR: The 1/3-inch 4MP CMOS sensor captures at 2688x1520 native resolution.
