Cisco Meraki Launches The Most Expensive HD Camera In Years

Author: Brian Karas, Published on Oct 14, 2016

The video surveillance market is racing to the bottom, with 3MP IP cameras being sold for as low as ~$100 through distribution.

Cisco is not joining.

Instead, Cisco Meraki has launched 2 new IP cameras, the 'cheaper' one starting at $1,299 MSRP, with 720p max streaming / recording. However, Cisco has focused on manageability including easy setup utilizing the cloud-based management dashboard of their Meraki product line.

Cisco pitched us on their new IP cameras. Inside, we share their pitch, analyze it and compare to competitive options.
