Brilliant 4MP Full-Color Vision – Around the Clock
No more grainy black-and-white night recordings. The TP-Link VIGI C345 uses a highly sensitive 1/2.7” CMOS sensor and a bright F1.6 aperture to produce clear color images even in low light conditions. In complete darkness, the integrated white light LEDs switch on and illuminate the scene up to 30 meters. This allows you to recognize important details such as the color of clothing or vehicles, which would be lost with conventional IR cameras. This PoE Full Color Night Vision Camera is a real game-changer for your security.
Smart Detection that Thinks Along: People, Vehicles, and More
The VIGI C345 is more than just a camera – it's an intelligent guardian. Thanks to advanced AI algorithms, it can independently distinguish between people and vehicles. Define zones or virtual lines and only receive a notification when a relevant activity occurs. This means: no more annoying alarms from falling leaves, pets, or shadows. This precise analysis makes it the perfect Outdoor Camera with Person Detection and an indispensable component of modern IP Cameras systems.
Flexible Installation and Robust Design for Outdoor Use
The robust metal housing with IP67 certification makes the VIGI C345 absolutely weatherproof and reliably protects it from dust, rain, and vandalism. Installation is incredibly easy thanks to dual Power Supply options. Use Power over Ethernet (PoE) to transmit data and power over a single Network cable – ideal for clean and uncomplicated mounting. Alternatively, you can also use a classic 12V DC Power Supply. If your Network is not yet PoE-capable, you will find suitable PoE Injectors / Power Supplies with us. The camera integrates seamlessly into the professional TP-Link VIGI ecosystem.
Efficient Storage and Easy Access from Anywhere
Thanks to the support of the modern H.265+ video codec, the camera compresses recordings extremely efficiently without losing quality. This saves up to 85% storage space compared to older standards and reduces the load on your Network. Record videos flexibly on a microSD card (up to 256 GB), a VIGI NVR, or an ONVIF-compatible system. With the free VIGI App for your smartphone or the VIGI Security Manager for your PC, you have full access to live images, recordings, and settings anytime, anywhere.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can the TP-Link VIGI C345 also be operated without an NVR?
Yes, the camera can be operated standalone. It features a MicroSD card slot for memory cards up to 256 GB, where recordings can be stored locally. Access to live images and recordings is then possible via the VIGI App or a web interface.
What does "Full-Color" mean for this camera?
"Full-Color" means that the camera can deliver color images even in very poor lighting conditions. Instead of switching to black-and-white infrared images, it activates its integrated white light LEDs when needed to illuminate the scene and thus obtain color information.
Is the camera compatible with surveillance systems from other manufacturers?
Yes, thanks to the support of the ONVIF standard (Profile S), the VIGI C345 is compatible with most third-party NVRs and Video Management Systems (VMS) that are also ONVIF-compliant.
What is the difference between the 2.8mm, 4mm, and 6mm variants?
The difference lies in the lens and the resulting field of view. The 6mm variant has a narrower field of view and is therefore better suited for monitoring distant objects, such as a long driveway. The 2.8mm variant offers a very wide field of view and is ideal for monitoring wide areas from a short distance.
What does protection class IP67 mean?
IP67 is a standard that specifies the degree of protection of an Enclosure against the ingress of foreign bodies and water. The '6' means that the camera is completely dustproof. The '7' means that it is protected against temporary immersion, which makes it more than sufficiently weatherproof for outdoor use.
Does the camera require a cloud subscription for use?
No, a cloud subscription is not mandatory. The camera offers full functionality with local storage on an SD card or an NVR. Cloud connectivity is an optional additional feature.
