Indledning
Cisco Meraki security cameras are designed for exceptionally simple deployment and configuration. Their integration into the Cisco Meraki dashboard, ease of deployment, and use of cloud-augmented edge storage, eliminate the cost and complexity typically associated with traditional security camera solutions. The MV21 camera provides zero-touch deployment, allowing administrators to add devices to the Cisco Meraki dashboard using only serial numbers, and begin configuration before the hardware even arrives on site. Cameras can be operational within minutes of connecting to the network. The Cisco Meraki dashboard facilitates easy video streaming and the creation of live video walls for monitoring key areas across multiple locations.
