Day and Night in Brilliant Colors: Your 24h Full-Color Security
The TP-Link VIGI C440 redefines night vision. Where Other Cameras only provide a gray infrared image, this camera, thanks to its highly sensitive 1/3” CMOS sensor and bright F1.6 aperture, captures clear color images even with minimal ambient light. In complete darkness, the integrated white light LEDs subtly activate and illuminate the scene up to 30 meters. The result: at night, you not only recognize outlines but also important details such as the color of clothing or vehicles – a decisive advantage for identification.
Smart AI Detection: No More False Alarms
Are you annoyed by constant notifications just because a cat walks through the frame or leaves blow in the wind? The VIGI C440 uses advanced AI algorithms to precisely distinguish between people, vehicles, and other movements. Define zones for area intrusion or virtual lines for crossing and only receive a notification when something truly important happens. This PoE IP Camera for home security works intelligently and gives you back control.
Flexible Installation Made Easy: PoE & 12V DC
The VIGI C440 offers you maximum flexibility during installation. Support for Power over Ethernet (PoE, 802.3af/at) is the highlight for a clean and simple setup. You only need a single Network cable that handles both data transmission and Power Supply. This saves time, money, and cable clutter. Alternatively, you can power the camera conventionally via a 12V DC connection. Whether you are planning a new system or expanding an existing one, this camera adapts to your needs. Matching PoE Injectors / Power Supplies can, of course, also be found with us.
Active Defense and Two-Way Audio: More Than Just Watching
This camera is not just a passive observer, but an active guardian for your property. As soon as intelligent detection registers an intruder, the VIGI C440 can automatically play a loud sound and illuminate the bright LEDs to effectively deter unwanted visitors. Additionally, the integrated two-way audio allows you to communicate directly. Give instructions to the delivery person or issue a clear warning – all directly via the VIGI App on your smartphone. These IP Cameras from the TP-Link VIGI series offer a complete security package.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can the TP-Link VIGI C440 record without an internet connection?
Yes, the camera can store recordings directly on an inserted MicroSD card (up to 256 GB). However, an internet connection is required for remote access to live images, recordings, or for push notifications.
What does '24h Full-Color' mean for this camera?
This means that thanks to its light-sensitive sensor and switchable white light LEDs, the camera can capture color images even at night instead of black-and-white infrared images. This provides significantly more details for identification.
Is an NVR absolutely necessary for using the camera?
No, an NVR is not mandatory. The camera can be operated as a standalone device with a MicroSD card for storage and the VIGI App for access. However, a VIGI NVR is recommended for central management and recording of multiple cameras.
Does the VIGI C440 support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, the camera supports PoE (802.3af/at). This allows for power supply and data transmission over a single Ethernet Cable, which significantly simplifies installation, provided a PoE-enabled switch or injector is used.
How does 'Active Defense' work?
Upon detection of a predefined event, such as a person entering a restricted area, the camera can automatically play a loud sound and illuminate the white light LEDs to deter potential intruders.
Is the camera suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, the camera is IP67 certified. This means it is dustproof and protected against strong jets of water, which qualifies it for outdoor use in most weather conditions.
