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.
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.
While we havent tried other Cloud based camera and surveillance system, we feel that Cisco Meraki MV has offered us a true quality experience with their camera lineup ( second generation) - including the MV32 Fisheye, but mostly with their analytical features (location …
As a Cisco Partner, we didn't really look for [an]other camera solution. We simply decided to replace all of our camera systems in all our offices to get one easy to manage and centralized solution.
I think they are great for security, especially in doors for fixed points of view. They are small and inconspicuous so they don't ruin the aesthetics of the area they are installed. They also have a multitude of mounting options with is helpful for outdoor installations. The only issues I see would be in areas where wireless coverage is required. They offer some wireless models, but they still need to be powered.
I would it is best solution in the market but it would be awesome to have it integrated with badging system and when someone comes near the door, Cisco Meraki MV takes a pic and runs an algorithm at the backend to check if it employee or not if it is automatically open the door
The Cisco Meraki MV equipment and solution is one of the equipment that we have bought, setup, configured that is requiring minimal maintenance. It may cost more in subscriptions but it basically pays off by not requiring attention or work done by any of my techs. Easy to use and it just work.
Very simple to use and set up. Just plug in the camera to a PoE enabled switch port that has a DHCP server behind it, add it to a network in the dashboard and you will start seeing the video feed. It takes longer to type this than to do the configuration
The Cisco Meraki support team is very responsive and they escalate quickly within the team to find people who have the required knowledge. It can take a while to get things fixed if firmware of software changes are needed, but they keep in touch and do get there. The Cisco Meraki community is another excellent source of assistance and helped me when we initially used Meraki MV cameras.

I don't even know if there is a limit to Meraki product's scalability! We can group so many campus[es], offices, [and] organizations under the same cloud based dashboard that I don't even know what is the maximum devices count...if there is one. For our customers and us, it has never been an issue
Positive: Takes less time to review footage as the AI motion search allows for our customers to not have to wander through footage.
Positive: All in one software with the security cameras has let one of our customers increase their ROI but $10,000 annually as they no longer have to purchase separate monitoring software for security, it's all integrated.
If you're looking to save money out of the gate, this could technically be a negative impact as this solution does cost a little bit to get going with the cameras and the licenses, but they are multi year licenses (Which include support) that allow for you to incorporate your security for 3, 5 , 7 or 10 years into the future.
