Smart Surveillance that Thinks Along: Your Outdoor Bullet Camera with AI
The TP-Link VIGI C355 is more than just a camera – it's a vigilant partner. Thanks to advanced AI algorithms running directly on the device, it constantly analyzes events. Intelligent person and vehicle analysis ensures that you don't receive a notification for every falling leaf or passing animal. Define zones for area monitoring, set virtual lines for line crossing, or be warned when objects are removed. With active defense, the camera even reacts autonomously with light and sound signals to deter intruders before anything happens.
Color in the Darkness: Brilliant Images Around the Clock
Where Other Cameras only see grayscale, the VIGI C355, thanks to its highly sensitive 1/2.7” CMOS sensor and F1.6 aperture, still delivers vibrant color images even in extremely low light. The integrated white light LEDs with a 30-meter range support this full-color capability and ensure clear vision in absolute darkness. For situations where discretion is required, powerful infrared LEDs are also available. Technologies like 120dB True WDR, 3D DNR, and Smart IR automatically optimize every image and guarantee excellent quality under all lighting conditions.
Built for Outdoors: Robust Technology and Easy Installation
The VIGI C355 was developed for reliable outdoor use. The solid metal housing is IP67 certified, making it completely dustproof and protected against strong water jets and temporary submersion. Whether at icy -30 °C or summery 60 °C, this camera reliably performs its duty. Installation is revolutionized by Power over Ethernet (PoE). A single Network cable is sufficient to power the camera and integrate it into the Network. This not only saves a separate power outlet at the mounting location but also time and costs for Cabling. It is the ideal addition to any professional TP-Link VIGI security system.
Efficient and Compatible: H.265+ Compression and ONVIF Standard
High-resolution videos require a lot of storage space and bandwidth – but not with the VIGI C355. Thanks to state-of-the-art H.265+ video compression, file size is drastically reduced without you having to accept visible quality losses. This protects your Network and saves money when purchasing hard drives for your recorder. By supporting the ONVIF protocol, the camera is also extremely flexible. It can be easily integrated into existing third-party surveillance systems, making it a future-proof investment for your collection of IP Cameras.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can the TP-Link VIGI C355 be operated without an NVR?
Yes, the camera can be operated as a standalone device. It features a MicroSD card slot for local recordings (up to 256 GB). Access to live images and recordings is then possible via the VIGI App or the camera's web interface.
Does the VIGI C355 support color recording at night?
Yes, this is one of its core functions. Thanks to a highly sensitive sensor and integrated white light LEDs, the camera can capture color images even in darkness (Full-Color). For situations where no visible light is desired, it can also switch to traditional infrared night vision.
What does protection class IP67 mean?
IP67 is a standard that defines the degree of protection of an Enclosure against the ingress of foreign objects and water. The '6' means that the camera is completely dustproof. The '7' means that it is protected against temporary immersion, making it ideal for outdoor use in any weather.
What is the advantage of PoE (Power over Ethernet)?
PoE allows the camera to be powered and provided with a network connection via a single Ethernet Cable. This eliminates the need for a separate power outlet at the mounting location, significantly simplifies Cabling, and reduces installation costs.
How does 'Active Defense' work?
Upon detection of an intruder, based on AI rules, the camera can automatically flash its integrated white light LEDs and emit a warning sound through the speaker. This serves to deter potential perpetrators in real-time.
Is the camera compatible with surveillance systems from other manufacturers?
Yes, by supporting the ONVIF standard, the camera is compatible with most third-party NVRs, NAS systems, and Video Management Software (VMS) that also support this industry standard.
