Chose Cisco Meraki MV
We only considered Cisco Meraki MV2s because of their implementation, form factor, and cost. There was not anything else we found that was enterprise-grade that was in an appealing form factor and wasn't a local CCTV camera.

While the Ubiquiti cameras perform similar functions, their systems do not have the same integration possibilities as the Cisco Meraki MV cameras. They were more flexible generally.
Chose Cisco Meraki MV
I've used their camera's and wouldn't recommend them for a business unless you have a lot more time to mess around with configuration and issues. They might be ok for home use but didn't compare to Meraki for our lobby need.

Usually, Meraki MV cost is quite high, so you need to deal with an experienced Cisco partner to make sure you're getting the greatest discounts you can have, especially for larger deployments. In opposite, in very small deals, Meraki MV can be an attractive solution based on price as you don't even need to buy a NVR. Just like with Meraki MR (access points), you can get great analytics info from the solution, and even more with some third party solutions on top of it. As you pay for a licence, Meraki has a evergreen model so make sure to always have the latest and greatest features.

Scalability
Cisco
It would be very easy to configure a new camera at another location, as long as someone at that location can do the install. The camera can then be categorized in the console. Different video walls can be created so you can group the video feeds by site or department, etc
