    Avigilon Control Center (ACC) has worked well for our
    facilities, especially since we were able to link multiple types of cameras and
    door access systems into one seamless tool now.
    This software was the solution we were looking for when we began
    searching for products that could complete the integration we needed. I think that ACC works well in most
    environments for both doors and cameras.
    Quite frankly the camera product seems a lot stronger resource than the
    door access piece based on it features and ease of use, sometimes the door
    access integration seems like a afterthought.
    If anyone is searching for a resource that can bring doors and cameras
    together, I would recommend ACC. If I were
    only looking for a camera software, I would still recommend ACC. But if I were just searching for door access,
    I would look elsewhere.

    Usually, Meraki MV cost is quite high, so you need to deal with an experienced Cisco partner to make sure you're getting the greatest discounts you can have, especially for larger deployments. In opposite, in very small deals, Meraki MV can be an attractive solution based on price as you don't even need to buy a NVR. Just like with Meraki MR (access points), you can get great analytics info from the solution, and even more with some third party solutions on top of it. As you pay for a licence, Meraki has a evergreen model so make sure to always have the latest and greatest features.

    • I would it is best solution in the market but it would be awesome to have it integrated with badging system and when someone comes near the door, Cisco Meraki MV takes a pic and runs an algorithm at the backend to check if it employee or not if it is automatically open the door

    The Cisco Meraki MV equipment and solution is one of the equipment that we have bought, setup, configured that is requiring minimal maintenance. It may cost more in subscriptions but it basically pays off by not requiring attention or work done by any of my techs. Easy to use and it just work.

    Very simple to use and set up. Just plug in the camera to a PoE enabled switch port that has a DHCP server behind it, add it to a network in the dashboard and you will start seeing the video feed. It takes longer to type this than to do the configuration

    The Cisco Meraki support team is very responsive and they escalate quickly within the team to find people who have the required knowledge. It can take a while to get things fixed if firmware of software changes are needed, but they keep in touch and do get there. The Cisco Meraki community is another excellent source of assistance and helped me when we initially used Meraki MV cameras.

    Avigilon Control Center (ACC) offered us something we did not
    have in Verkada, Meraki, and some of the lesser-known products we were
    investigating. ACC offered us a
    consolidation that would allow the use of most of our current door access and
    video cameras already in place.
    Additionally, their cloud-based features were also quite well received
    by our management and HR teams who have taken advantage of their ease of use
    and ability to use the products from a computer or even their smartphones.

    I've used their camera's and wouldn't recommend them for a business unless you have a lot more time to mess around with configuration and issues. They might be ok for home use but didn't compare to Meraki for our lobby need.

    It would be very easy to configure a new camera at another location, as long as someone at that location can do the install. The camera can then be categorized in the console. Different video walls can be created so you can group the video feeds by site or department, etc

    • Positive: Takes less time to review footage as the AI motion search allows for our customers to not have to wander through footage.
    • Positive: All in one software with the security cameras has let one of our customers increase their ROI but $10,000 annually as they no longer have to purchase separate monitoring software for security, it's all integrated.
    • If you're looking to save money out of the gate, this could technically be a negative impact as this solution does cost a little bit to get going with the cameras and the licenses, but they are multi year licenses (Which include support) that allow for you to incorporate your security for 3, 5 , 7 or 10 years into the future.
