Overview
The Meraki MV73X, part of the third generation of MV smart cameras, combines physical security and advanced analytics in a powerful varifocal lens dome form factor. With an edge architecture that minimizes physical infrastructure and software requirements, MV73M enables faster, easier deployments and greater scalability.
Security in high definition
The ultra-high-performance MV73X series camera supports up to 4K resolution for high-definition video, delivering the level of detail needed to stay on top of what matters. With IK10+ and IP67 ratings, plus IR illumination, the MV73X extends visibility and safety to outdoor and demanding environments.
Compact and easy to install, MV73X series cameras are compatible with a variety of mounting accessories, delivering the right viewing angle wherever they are placed. MV73X series cameras are ideal for monitoring entrances and exits, as well as the general perimeter, from walls, ceilings, or even corner-mount locations.
Using machine-learning-based computer vision, MV73X cameras can perform real-time object detection, classification, and tracking of people and vehicles to increase safety and provide useful insights into activity. These smart cameras deliver powerful business intelligence without compromising physical security.

Smart and Motion Based Retention
Smart Retention
Smart Retention simplifies how Meraki MV cameras record and store footage, giving users confidence in how many days of retention they will receive. This feature ensures that key events, such as people and vehicles in motion, are captured in high fidelity, while also dedicating storage to meet users’ storage requirements. This document covers how Smart Retention works, what customization options are available to the user, and how to choose the right camera model for different deployment types.

Motion Based Retention
Meraki security cameras record continuously by default, but motion-based retention allows recording only motion events. This feature enhances video retention by storing footage with detected motion and deleting non-motion footage. Users can switch between different motion detector versions for optimal performance.
