What is one feature of MV cameras that allows users to optimize video retention?

Explanation

Motion-based retention (B) is a feature of Cisco Meraki MV cameras that automatically prioritizes storage for clips containing detected motion, dramatically extending how long footage can be kept on the camera's onboard storage. By allocating less storage to idle, motionless periods, users can retain meaningful video for weeks or months rather than days.

• A (zoom lens) is a hardware optic feature affecting field of view, not storage duration.
• C (low bit rate and frame rate) can indirectly affect storage, but it's a manual quality trade-off, not a dedicated retention optimization feature of MV cameras.
• D (high definition) is actually the opposite of helpful for retention - higher resolution consumes more storage, reducing retention time.

Memory tip: Think "motion = meaningful" - MV cameras only "care" about storing what matters (motion events), so they stretch your storage by ignoring the boring parts.
