The ultra-high-performance MV23 series camera supports up to 4K resolution for high-definition video, delivering the level of detail needed to stay on top of what matters. 

Compact and easy to install, MV23 series cameras are compatible with a variety of mounting accessories, delivering the right viewing angle wherever they are placed. MV23 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, MV23 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.
