Key Features
Magnetic Field Sensor Technology uses magnetic fields to determine positioning and detect when doors are opened or closed.
Cloud-Managed automatically connects via Bluetooth to Meraki MR access points or MV smart cameras, eliminating the need for a separate gateway.
Provides real-time monitoring and alerting, allowing organizations to detect intrusions and understand access and usage trends.
Includes tamper detection reporting to ensure the sensor remains secure and tamper-free.
Five-year battery life with two user-replaceable AA batteries.
Wireless Connectivity uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) for wireless connectivity.
Includes a Trust Anchor module (TAm) that securely authenticates the device and encrypts all communications.
Provides advanced telemetry data for smarter decision-making.
Supports APIs and webhook alerts for third-party alerting and data analysis.
Part of a vast ecosystem partner community building apps on top of the Meraki platform.
Easy to set up and deploy, with a modern mobile app for on-the-go monitoring and troubleshooting.
