Say goodbye to complex on-site servers—configure cameras, push firmware updates, set access controls, and monitor incident activity from a single, secure interface that scales with your organization.
• Advanced analytics that drive smarter security: The MV93X includes built-in analytics capabilities designed to reduce investigation time and improve incident response. Features such as people counting, vehicle detection, motion analytics, and heat maps help you understand how spaces are used. Privacy masking options ensure you can protect sensitive areas while still extracting actionable intelligence from surveillance footage. These analytics run at the edge, delivering fast alerts and streamlined searches without depending solely on cloud processing.
• Rugged, weather-ready outdoor design with flexible aesthetics: Engineered for exterior installations, the MV93X is built to withstand outdoor elements. The camera is available in black or white housing to suit architectural and landscape preferences, and its robust construction supports mounting on walls, poles, or fixtures in challenging environments. The fisheye form factor enables broad installation coverage while minimizing equipment clutter and visual impact.
• Seamless integration, alerts, and playback: When activity occurs, the MV93X delivers timely, configurable alerts to your security team via the Meraki mobile app or dashboard. Live streaming, quick playback, and smart search capabilities help you rapidly locate relevant footage. The camera’s cloud-centric architecture integrates neatly with existing Meraki ecosystems, enabling unified policy enforcement, centralized retention settings, and streamlined collaboration across security, facilities, and IT teams.

How to install Meraki MV93X

• Plan your installation. Choose a mounting location that maximizes the 360° coverage while minimizing blind spots. Consider sight lines for the perimeter you intend to monitor, and plan cable routes that keep power and network access clean and protected from the elements.
• Prepare the network. Ensure your PoE-capable network switch or injector is ready, with adequate port availability and bandwidth for the camera’s 8MP stream. Verify that your network can reach the Meraki cloud for seamless adoption and ongoing management.
• Mount the camera. Use the provided hardware to secure the MV93X to the chosen surface. Ensure a secure fit that can withstand wind, rain, and temperature fluctuations. Seal any exposed cables to maintain weather resistance and reliability.
• Connect and adopt. Connect the camera to the network via PoE, then access the Meraki dashboard to adopt the device into the correct network and site. Follow the on-screen prompts to assign a name, location, and policy settings that align with your security posture.
• Configure settings and analytics. Enable privacy masking for sensitive areas, set motion detection zones, and tailor alert schedules. Adjust dewarping views to match your monitoring needs, and configure retention policies and access permissions to balance security with compliance requirements.
• Test and optimize. Verify video quality, network load, and alert behavior. Run test scenarios to confirm that 360° coverage reliably captures required zones and that analytics trigger as expected. Make iterative refinements to mounting position, dewarping presets, and alert thresholds as necessary.

Frequently asked questions

What makes the MV93X different from other outdoor cameras?

The MV93X combines an 8MP outdoor fisheye sensor with 360° coverage in a single, compact device. It offers cloud-based management via the Meraki dashboard, edge analytics that deliver rapid insights, and flexible dewarping that presents multiple viewing perspectives from one camera. This combination reduces blind spots, simplifies deployment across multiple sites, and provides scalable security analytics without the need for multiple standalone cameras or complex on-site infrastructure.

Does the MV93X require a Meraki license?

Yes. The MV93X operates within Meraki’s cloud-managed ecosystem, which requires an active Meraki license to access the dashboard, analytics, firmware updates, and ongoing security features. The license model supports scalable deployments across campuses or facilities, ensuring you receive continuous value from centralized management and analytics.

What colors are available for the MV93X?

The MV93X is available in Black or White housing, allowing you to select a finish that complements your building exterior, landscape, or branding while maintaining durable outdoor performance.

Can the MV93X view in 360° in real time?

Yes. The camera captures a full 360° field of view, and the Meraki dashboard provides dewarped views so operators can monitor from a single vantage point or switch to multiple traditional views for detailed surveillance. This capability is especially valuable for wide-open exterior spaces, parking lots, and building perimeters where comprehensive coverage is essential.

What environments is the MV93X best suited for?

The MV93X is engineered for outdoor environments such as building exteriors, campuses, shopping centers, stadiums, and large parking areas. Its weather-ready housing and flexible mounting options help ensure reliable operation in varying climates, while the fisheye design reduces device clutter and simplifies site planning for expansive surveillance needs.
