5 Megapixel Brilliance: Every Detail, Day and Night
With the TP-Link VIGI C355, nothing escapes you. The high-resolution 5-megapixel sensor delivers images so sharp and detailed that you can clearly recognize faces and license plates even from a distance. Thanks to 120dB True WDR, the camera masters even the most demanding lighting situations with extreme contrasts, such as those occurring at driveways or entrances with strong backlighting. This ensures you always get a perfectly exposed and balanced image.
Intelligent AI Analysis: No More False Alarms
The heart of this camera is its advanced AI. The VIGI C355 is more than just a motion detector camera; it is an intelligent Outdoor Camera with Person Detection. It reliably classifies people and vehicles and ignores irrelevant movements from animals, falling leaves, or shadows. Define zones for line crossing, area entry, or intrusion detection and only receive a notification on your smartphone when something truly important happens. This saves time and nerves.
IP Camera with Color Night Vision: See the Night in Color
Where conventional cameras only deliver blurry black-and-white images, the VIGI C355 brings light into the darkness. Thanks to full-color technology and integrated, powerful white light LEDs, you see a clear and detailed color image up to 30 meters away even in complete darkness. This is a crucial advantage when it comes to identifying people, vehicle colors, or other important details. Alternatively, a classic infrared mode is also available.
Robust and Flexible: Built for Any Weather, Easy to Install
The VIGI C355 is designed for tough outdoor use. Its IP67-certified metal housing reliably protects it from rain, snow, and dust and functions in a temperature range from -30 °C to 60 °C. Installation becomes child's play with Power over Ethernet (PoE) support. A single Network cable is sufficient to supply the camera with power and data. This makes it the perfect PoE Surveillance Camera for Outdoor Use. As one of the leading IP Cameras in the TP-Link VIGI range, it offers you professional security you can rely on.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can the TP-Link VIGI C355 be connected wirelessly to WiFi?
No, the VIGI C355 is a purely wired IP camera. It is connected to the Network via an Ethernet Cable (RJ45), which can also provide power via PoE (Power over Ethernet). A WiFi function is not available.
Is an NVR (Network Video Recorder) absolutely necessary for the camera's operation?
No, an NVR is not absolutely necessary. The camera has a MicroSD card slot for local recordings (up to 256 GB). It can be operated independently and managed via the VIGI App or PC software. However, an NVR is recommended for central management and recording of multiple cameras.
How good is the night vision of the VIGI C355?
Night vision is one of this model's strengths. It offers two modes: a traditional infrared mode for black-and-white images up to 30 meters, and a "Full-Color" mode, which provides color images up to 30 meters even in complete darkness, using integrated white light LEDs.
What does "Person & Vehicle Analysis" mean for this camera?
This is an AI-powered feature where the camera is able to distinguish people and vehicles from other moving objects like animals or shadows. This ensures that alarms are only triggered for relevant events, significantly reducing the number of false alarms.
Is the camera suitable for outdoor use in Germany?
Yes, absolutely. The camera is certified with protection class IP67, making it completely dustproof and protected against strong water jets. The operating temperature range of -30 °C to +60 °C covers all common weather conditions in Germany.
Can I use the camera with software or an NVR from another manufacturer?
Yes, the camera is ONVIF-compatible (Profile S). This is an open industry standard that ensures interoperability between IP-based security products from different manufacturers. This allows the VIGI C355 to be integrated into most existing surveillance systems that also support ONVIF.
