Overview
- The TP-Link VIGI C250(2.8mm) is a professional 5MP dome network camera built for continuous security monitoring. Its 24-hour full-colour capability, powered by a large-aperture lens and high-sensitivity sensor with supplemental lighting, ensures clear footage day and night—eliminating the blind spots of traditional infrared cameras.
The camera includes intelligent detection features such as human and vehicle classification, area intrusion monitoring, and line-crossing alerts, allowing security teams to focus on genuine threats and reduce false alarms. Its rugged IK10 vandal-proof housing and IP67 waterproof rating make it suitable for exposed outdoor installations across Australian climates.
Built-in H.265+ video compression significantly reduces bandwidth consumption and storage requirements without compromising image quality. The camera supports flexible deployment through dual power options (PoE or 12V DC), multiple management platforms (web UI, NVR UI, VIGI app, VIGI Security Manager), and onboard SD card storage up to 256 GB for local backup.
