TP-Link VIGI C240I 4MP IR Dome Network Camera

Description

The TP-Link VIGI C240I 4MP IR Dome Network Camera is a robust surveillance solution tailored for comprehensive security in both indoor and outdoor environments, offering high-definition monitoring with advanced features for professional-grade protection. Equipped with a 4MP (2560 × 1440) resolution and a 1/2.9″ Progressive Scan CMOS sensor, it captures sharp, detailed footage to identify subtle details effectively. The camera supports infrared (IR) night vision up to 30 meters, ensuring clear black-and-white imaging in low-light conditions, while its smart video enhancement technologies—including Smart IR, Wide Dynamic Range (WDR), 3D Digital Noise Reduction (3D DNR), and night vision optimization—deliver superior video quality in varying lighting scenarios.

Key to its intelligence is the AI-powered smart detection, featuring human and vehicle classification to distinguish relevant subjects from other movements, reducing false alarms. Additional smart detection modes include line-crossing detection, area intrusion, camera tampering, and object removal/abandonment, sending instant notifications via the VIGI app for quick response. The built-in microphone enables audio recording for enhanced situational awareness, making it suitable for monitoring conversations or ambient sounds.

Designed for durability, the VIGI C240I boasts an IK10 vandal-proof rating for resistance against impacts and an IP67 waterproof and dustproof rating to withstand harsh weather, rain, and dust, ensuring reliable operation from -30°C to 60°C. It features a fixed lens available in 2.8mm or 4mm options, providing flexible field of view: approximately 102° diagonal for 2.8mm (ideal for wide enclosed spaces) or narrower for longer distances in open areas. Video compression uses H.265+ for efficient bandwidth and storage savings, supporting up to 25/30 fps frame rates.

Flexible storage includes a microSD card slot (up to 256GB) for onboard recording and compatibility with NVR systems. Connectivity is via a 1 × RJ45 10/100M Ethernet port with PoE (802.3af) support or 12V DC power supply for easy wiring and installation. The camera integrates seamlessly with ONVIF standards for third-party systems and offers management through the VIGI app, web UI, NVR UI, or VIGI Security Manager for remote viewing, configuration, and control. With its compact dome design (approximately Ø 111 × 83.65 mm) and lightweight plastic housing, the TP-Link VIGI C240I is perfect for discreet yet tough surveillance in retail, offices, or residential setups.
