Cisco Announces Meraki Video Upgrade MV12

By Ken Briodagh March 01, 2018

Cisco Meraki launched its new product category and expanded its portfolio to include security cameras with the introduction of MV placing video storage and processing onboard each camera.

The company has now announced the upgrade: MV12.

MV12 is designed to offer an all-in-one solution by taking advantage of the same hardware that powers many smartphones, and placing one on every single camera. That way, the heavy lifting of analyzing video happens at the edge–not in the cloud or on a server.

MV12 is implementing machine-learning-based computer vision to detect people and get more accurate over time. MV12 uses this functionality as the foundation for tools like people counting.

Up to 256GB of integrated solid-state storage
