TP-Link VIGI C230I Mini 3MP IR Mini Dome Network Camera

The TP-Link VIGI C230I Mini 3MP IR Mini Dome Network Camera is a compact yet powerful surveillance solution designed for space-constrained environments such as corridors, elevators, small warehouses, and convenience stores, providing high-quality monitoring for homes and businesses. With its 3MP (2304 × 1296) resolution and a 1/2.8″ Progressive Scan CMOS sensor, it captures super-high definition footage that reveals discrete details with exceptional clarity. The camera’s infrared (IR) night vision with 2 IR LEDs extends up to 30 meters, delivering clear black-and-white imaging in low-light or complete darkness, enhanced by Smart IR technology to prevent overexposure and ensure balanced illumination.

Advanced AI-powered features include human and vehicle classification, which intelligently distinguishes between people, vehicles, and other movements to reduce false alarms and provide accurate event notifications. The smart detection capabilities cover line-crossing detection, area intrusion, camera tampering, and object removal/abandonment, sending instant alerts via the VIGI app for quick response and enhanced security. A built-in microphone supports audio recording, adding contextual audio to video footage for better situational awareness. The ultra-wide 2.8mm lens offers a broad field of view (approximately horizontal 100°, vertical 55°, diagonal 128°), making it perfect for wide-angle coverage in tight spaces without the need for multiple cameras.

The VIGI C230I Mini employs H.265+ compression alongside H.265, H.264+, and H.264 for efficient video encoding, minimizing bandwidth and storage requirements while maintaining high-quality streams at up to 20/25 fps. Its IK08 vandal-proof rating protects against impacts and tampering, while the IP67 waterproof and dustproof rating (for the housing) ensures durability in various indoor or semi-outdoor conditions, operating reliably from -30°C to 60°C. Video enhancements like Wide Dynamic Range (WDR), 3D Digital Noise Reduction (3D DNR), Back Light Compensation (BLC), and Smart IR optimize image quality in challenging lighting, ensuring crisp footage day and night.

Installation is hassle-free with PoE (802.3af) or 12V DC power supply and a 1 × RJ45 10/100M Ethernet port for connectivity, supporting ONVIF for integration with third-party systems. Storage options include a microSD card slot (up to 256GB) for local recording and compatibility with NVR systems for centralized management. The camera is managed effortlessly through the VIGI app, web UI, NVR UI, or VIGI Security Manager, allowing remote viewing, configuration, and control from anywhere. With its small, compact form factor (approximately Ø 99.2 × 42.4 mm, plastic housing), the TP-Link VIGI C230I Mini blends discreetly into any setting while delivering professional-grade surveillance for comprehensive protection.
