About the MV12N-HW
The MV12N-HW is the narrow-angle version of the Meraki MV12 mini dome. Its lens covers 73° horizontally, 44° vertically and 86° diagonally, so it frames a tighter scene than a wide lens and puts more pixels on what it points at. It records up to 1080p HD in H.264 at up to 20fps and is managed from the Meraki Dashboard.
Video is stored on the camera itself, on 256GB of high-endurance solid-state storage, so there is no separate recorder to buy. It runs from a single PoE switch port.
For ceiling, wall or pole installs, the mounting accessories such as MA-MNT-CLG-1, MA-MNT-MV-30 and MA-MNT-MV-40 are listed below. Where there is no PoE switch, a PoE injector such as the MA-INJ-4 powers it.
