MV32 Installation Guide
MV32 Overview
The Cisco Meraki MV32 is a network fisheye camera that is exceptionally simple to deploy and configure due to its
integration into the Meraki Dashboard and the use of cloud augmented edge storage. The MV family eliminates complex
and costly servers and video recorders required by traditional solutions which removes the limitations typically placed on
video surveillance deployments.
Before mounting to any surface, ensure you have read through the placement guidelines below to ensure best field of
view.

Powering the MV32
The MV32 features a 1000BASE-TX Ethernet port and requires 802.3af PoE minimally for operation. Route the Ethernet
cable from an active port on a PoE switch or PoE injector.
Note: Power over Ethernet supports a maximum cable length of 300 ft (100 m).
Placement Guidelines
The Meraki MV32 is a fisheye camera boasting a full 360 degree field-of-view of the area underneath the camera. The
resulting camera image provides an expansive view of its nearby surroundings. This becomes extremely useful when
you want to capture an overview of your entire scene and can take the place of multiple cameras. To ensure you have
sufficient camera coverage for your specific use case, the placement guidelines for MV32 are outlined along with
expected coverage quality.
Initial Considerations
While the MV32 enables you to achieve a broad overview of the area to gain situation awareness, it does not completely
replace the need for other cameras in your surveillance network. First, consider the goal(s) you hope to achieve with
your new fisheye camera. Some questions to ask yourself include;
1. What level of detail do you require from your image?
Note: You can change between different viewing options on the MV32. Read this article.
3
2. What distance from the camera’s center is this level of detail required?
3. Are there any restrictions around mounting cameras to walls and/or ceilings?
We recommend utilizing the fisheye camera to detect an event of interest, and a fixed lens or varifocal camera to identify
key details for further action. For example, if placing an MV32 in the center of a room, an MV12 or MV22 camera that
is placed facing key points of entry will provide you the level of detail in the event that person identification is required.
General Guidelines
To maximize the coverage of your MV32, the right placement and positioning is essential. The following tips and
guidelines should be considered when positioning your MV32:
•Mount the camera 10 - 14 ft (3 - 4.3 m) above the ground to optimize for object detail within 20 ft (6.1m) of the
surrounding area. At this height, the on-board analytics can detect objects within a radius of up to 25 ft (7.6 m) from
the camera’s center.
•Position your camera away from corners to fully utilize its 360 degree FoV. The ideal placement is typically on
the ceiling at or near the center of a room.
•Keep ambient lighting consistent. With a larger FoV, it can be difficult to maintain consistent lighting conditions
throughout the entire frame. Two areas of drastically different lux levels will impact the quality of your video stream.
Monitor your camera’s visibility during installation to determine if additional light sources are required to capture the
entire scene. Avoid placing cameras where light sources are pointed directly at the camera dome, as this can cause
degradation of image quality.
Coverage Guidelines
At the recommended height of 10-14 feet off the ground, the level of detail which can be captured from the camera is
represented below. The following screenshots will give you an idea of the level of detail you can expect to see from
certain distances away from the center of the camera. The subject is 5 ft 7 in (171 cm) tall and holding an MV gnome
which is 8 in (20 cm) tall.
• 0 to 10 feet: At this distance, detailed images can be captured which allow identification of an object or person.
Facial details can be discerned and small objects can be identified.
Note: If your surface is very high, you can use the Telescoping Pendant Mount to lower the mounting height of
the camera.
4
• 10 to 20 feet: At this distance, object and person identification is still possible, however some details will be lost.
5
• 20 to 40 feet: At this distance, details will be lost and identification of objects or people will become difficult. Smaller
objects may become invisible. If identification is needed at these distances, consider supplementing your camera
design with additional cameras.
6
Understanding the amount of detail required at a specific radius extending from your fisheye camera will allow proper
planning and design of your security camera system.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mount the MV32 on the wall?
If placed on a wall, half of the camera’s field of view will face the perpendicular ceiling. This does not properly use of the
360-degree field of view of this camera. The MV32 is better installed on a ceiling, where the more of the field of view
captures useful content. Additionally, the digital pan-tilt-zoom (DPTZ) feature of the MV32 is currently configured for
ceiling mounting.
7
Furthermore, the camera’s computer vision analytics function on training algorithms based on a top-down view of its
surroundings. Orientations differing from this model will limit the performance of the camera’s analytics. Therefore, it is
not recommended to install the MV32 perpendicular to the ground.
What happens if I place the camera on a surface higher than the recommended 10-14 ft?
Mounting the MV32 higher than the recommended maximum height of 14 feet will result in decreased image quality of
the surrounding area and impact the performance of the built-in people detection analytics. Placement at this height will
enable an overview of larger areas but impact the amount of recognizable detail in the image. If your surface is very
high, you can use the Telescoping Pendant Mount to lower the mounting height of the camera.
Can I replace all my cameras with a single MV32?
The MV32 is a great option to deploy if you desire a broad overview of the scene and to gain situational awareness. In
general, we recommend utilizing the fisheye camera to detect an event of interest, and a fixed lens or varifocal camera
to identify key details of the scene.

Pre-Install Preparation
You should complete the following steps before going on-site to perform an installation:
Configure Your Network in Dashboard
The following is a brief overview only of the steps required to add an MV32 to your network. For detailed instructions
about creating, configuring and managing Meraki Camera networks, refer to the online documentation
(https://documentation.meraki.com/MV).
1. Login to http://dashboard.meraki.com. If this is your first time, create a new account.
2. Find the network to which you plan to add your cameras or create a new network.
3. Add your cameras to your network. You will need your Meraki order number (found on your invoice) or the serial
number of each camera, which looks like Qxxx-xxxx-xxxx, and is found on the bottom of the unit.
4. Verify that you the camera is now listed under Cameras > Monitor > Cameras.
Check and Configure Firewall Settings
If a firewall is in place, it must allow outgoing connections on particular ports to particular IP addresses. The most
current list of outbound ports and IP addresses for your particular organization can be found here.
DNS Configuration
Each MV32 will generate a unique domain name to allow for secured direct streaming functionality. These domain
names resolve an A record for the private IP address of the camera. Any public recursive DNS server will resolve this
domain.
If utilizing an on site DNS server, please whitelist *.devices.meraki.direct or configure a conditional forwarder so that
local domains are not appended to *.devices.meraki.direct and that these domain requests are forwarded to Google
public DNS.
Assigning IP Addresses
At this time, the MV32 does not support static IP assignment. MV32 units must be added to a subnet that uses DHCP
and has available DHCP addresses to operate correctly.
Installation Instructions
Note: Each MV32 comes with an instruction pamphlet within the box. This pamphlet contains detailed step by step
guides and images to assist in the physical install of the camera. A pdf of the pamphlet can be found here.
9
Note:During first time setup, the MV32 will automatically update to the latest stable firmware. Some features may be
unavailable until this automatic update is completed. This process may take up to 5 minutes due to enabling of whole
disk encryption.
Mounting Instructions
For most mounting scenarios, the MV32 wall mount provides a quick, simple, and flexible means for mounting your
device. The installation should be done in a few simple steps:
Note: Leave protective plastic cover on the optical dome, as this will prevent the optical dome from any damage during
installation.
1. First route the Ethernet cable through the ceiling surface or ceiling tile hole. Position the mounting template such that
the "Meraki MV32" text is aligned with your desired image orientation. This could mean orienting the image to align
North-to-South or with objects of interest within the field of view.
