Compare Cisco Meraki MV vs. Rhombus

MV is incredibly easy to deploy, configure, and manage, providing organizations of all sizes with trustworthy security and insightful business analytics. You can monitor and manage all your cameras securely from anywhere in the world without the need for additional software. Thanks to its robust hardware and video storage capabilities, an NVR or additional analytics packages are unnecessary. The cameras automatically acquire publicly signed SSL certificates, ensuring that all Meraki management data remains encrypted by default. This innovative architecture allows for video storage directly on the camera instead of relying on the cloud, which guarantees that essential network activities receive the bandwidth they require. By implementing solid-state storage within each camera, the MV series eliminates the complexities associated with traditional network video recorders (NVR). Furthermore, WAN bandwidth is utilized only when necessary, as each camera transmits less than 50kbps of metadata to the cloud when footage is not actively being viewed, thus preventing excessive use of WAN resources. This strategic approach not only simplifies management but also enhances overall system efficiency.
