Smart Retention 

Retain critical motion events in high resolution without sacrificing overall storage. Smart Retention delivers predictable retention days by recording two streams—one high‑resolution for motion and one lower‑resolution continuously while reducing bandwidth and storage overhead. Simply enable it per camera or via profiles. You can comply with local regulations with adjustable retention limits while ensuring key events remain crystal‑clear.

Key Benefits

  • High‑quality motion capture + standard resolution continuous coverage

  • Predictable retention days and reduced bandwidth

  • Flexible settings for compliance needs

  • Minimum 60 days of video guaranteed

Event Search in Meraki Vision Portal

A powerful tool that streamlines investigations by enabling simultaneous searches across multiple cameras, complete with advanced detection and duration filters.

Key Benefits

  • Adaptive filtering: Narrow down results by defining regions of interest and setting minimum event lengths.

  • Faster review: Immediately see motion recaps, play back short video clips, and export critical footage.

  • Straightforward interface: Easily configure search parameters and timeline ranges within the Vision Portal, reducing the time spent on manual review.

By focusing your search on exactly what matters, Event Search makes it easier to uncover crucial details quickly.
