Quick Summary
The Cisco Meraki MV12N cloud-managed camera is a compact, indoor mini-dome CCTV device that records sharp 1080 p video, stores footage locally on a 256 GB industrial-grade SSD, and is managed entirely online through the intuitive Meraki dashboard. Ideal for Australian small-business offices, retail entrances, and corridor monitoring, the MV12N blends enterprise-grade security analytics with easy deployment—no NVRs, servers, or plug-ins required. As an authorised Meraki reseller, we can advise on hardware, license bundles and local pricing.

FAQs
Does the MV12N need a separate NVR or VMS?
No. Video is written directly to the camera’s internal SSD and can be streamed or exported through the Meraki dashboard—eliminating external recorders.
How long can I keep recordings?
Retention depends on frame rate, quality settings and motion events. With default 24/7 recording the 256 GB model offers roughly 40 days; motion-based retention can extend this significantly.
Can I power the camera without PoE?
Yes. An optional 12 V DC/24 V AC low-voltage injector or 802.3at PoE injector accessory is available.
Is audio recording enabled by default?
The built-in microphone is turned off by default and can be enabled per-camera within the dashboard to meet local privacy regulations.
Which Meraki license do I need?
Each camera requires an MV Enterprise license (1, 3, 5, 7 or 10 years). Licensing unlocks cloud management, firmware updates and advanced analytics.
