Crystal-Clear 4MP Vision – Day and Colour at Night
The TP-Link VIGI C340 delivers images that leave no questions unanswered. With its high 4-megapixel resolution, you see more than just outlines – you recognize faces, license plates, and important details with impressive sharpness. The real game-changer, however, is the Full-Colour technology. While Other Cameras revert to a blurry black-and-white image at night, the VIGI C340 uses an extremely light-sensitive sensor and an F1.6 aperture to capture colour images even in low light. In complete darkness, the integrated white light LEDs switch on and illuminate the scene, so you always maintain a full overview in colour.
Intelligent AI Detection: No More False Alarms
What good is the best camera if you are constantly disturbed by irrelevant motion alarms? The VIGI C340 is one of the smartest IP Cameras in its class. Its integrated AI chip constantly analyzes the image and can precisely distinguish between people and vehicles. Define zones or virtual lines and only be notified when a person enters a specific area or a vehicle crosses your driveway. This means for you: maximum security without the annoying burden of false alarms.
Active Deterrence and Two-Way Audio for Your Security
This camera doesn't just watch, it actively intervenes. As soon as smart detection identifies an intruder, the VIGI C340 activates its night vision camera with deterrence. A loud alarm sound and a bright strobe light make it unmistakably clear that the unwanted visitor has been detected. Additionally, you can react immediately via the integrated two-way audio. Speak directly to intruders or give instructions to the postman on where to leave the package. You have full control, no matter where you are.
Easy Installation Thanks to Power over Ethernet (PoE)
Installing surveillance technology can be complicated – but not with the VIGI C340. Thanks to Power over Ethernet (PoE), you only need a single Network cable that both powers the camera and integrates it into your Network. This saves you the effort of laying a separate power cable and makes installation clean and straightforward. Simply connect the camera to a PoE-enabled switch or one of the suitable PoE Injectors / Power Supplies, and it's ready for operation. For maximum flexibility, you can also operate it via a classic 12V DC power adapter.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can the TP-Link VIGI C340 be operated without an NVR?
Yes, the camera can be operated standalone. You can save recordings to a MicroSD card and access the live stream and recordings via the VIGI App or the VIGI Security Manager on your PC.
Is the camera suitable for outdoor use in all weather conditions?
Yes, the camera is certified with a protection class of IP66 or even IP67, which means it is dustproof and protected against powerful water jets. It is designed for permanent outdoor use.
What does "Power over Ethernet" (PoE) mean?
PoE is a technology that allows network devices, such as this camera, to be supplied with both power and data over a single standard Ethernet Cable. This eliminates the need for a separate power cable at the camera's installation location.
How does color night vision work?
The VIGI C340 uses a highly sensitive image sensor, a large aperture, and integrated white LED spotlights. In low ambient light, the sensor can still capture color information. In complete darkness, the LEDs turn on to illuminate the scene, enabling color recordings.
What storage card size is supported?
The camera supports MicroSD cards with a capacity of up to 256 GB. According to the datasheet, some newer revisions of the model even support up to 512 GB.
Can I access the camera remotely?
Yes, via the TP-Link VIGI App, you can access the live stream, recordings, and notifications of your camera from anywhere in the world, as long as both your smartphone and the camera are connected to the internet.
