Intelligent AI Analysis: Know more, fewer false alarms
No more constant notifications from falling leaves or passing cats. The TP-Link VIGI C445 uses sophisticated AI algorithms to precisely distinguish people and vehicles from other objects. You only receive an alert when it's truly important. Functions such as line crossing, area entry, or intrusion detection enable tailored monitoring of your property. This makes security not only smart but also efficient.
Brilliant Colors, even at Night: Your IP Camera with Color Night Vision
Where conventional cameras only show black and white outlines, the VIGI C445 delivers detailed color images thanks to its highly sensitive sensor and integrated white light LEDs. Recognize the color of a vehicle or a person's clothing even in the middle of the night. For situations where discretion is required, a powerful infrared mode with a 30-meter range is alternatively available. You decide how you want to see the night.
Robust for any Weather: Your PoE Camera for Driveway Surveillance
The VIGI C445 is built for tough outdoor use. Its housing is IP67 certified, making it completely dustproof and protected against temporary submersion. Whether rain, snow, or summer heat – this outdoor surveillance camera with person detection operates reliably in a temperature range of -30 °C to 60 °C. Power Supply via Power over Ethernet (PoE) massively simplifies installation. A single Ethernet Cable, connected to a PoE switch or one of the suitable PoE Injectors / Power Supplies, is sufficient for power and data. This makes it one of the best IP Cameras from the TP-Link VIGI range.
Active Deterrence and Two-Way Audio: More than just watching
Don't just be a passive observer, but actively intervene. As soon as the camera detects a suspicious event, it can automatically trigger a loud sound and a bright strobe light to immediately deter unwelcome guests. You can also communicate directly via the integrated microphone and speaker – whether to instruct the package delivery person or to clearly address an intruder. Security that can be heard and seen.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can the TP-Link VIGI C445 also 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) and can be viewed live and managed via the VIGI App or PC software.
What does 'Full-Color' mean for this camera?
'Full-Color' means that the camera can record color images even in very low light conditions, thanks to a highly sensitive sensor and integrated white-light LEDs. This provides more details at night than traditional infrared night vision.
Is the camera suitable for outdoor use in Germany?
Yes, absolutely. With IP67 protection, it is fully protected against dust and water. The operating temperature range of -30 °C to 60 °C easily covers local weather conditions.
What is the advantage of H.265+ compression?
H.265+ is an advanced video codec that significantly reduces the data rate compared to H.265, without noticeable loss of quality. This saves considerable storage space and reduces the required Network bandwidth.
Does the VIGI C445 support integration into systems from other manufacturers?
Yes, due to ONVIF compatibility, the camera can generally be easily integrated into existing Video Management Systems (VMS) or Network Video Recorders (NVR) from third-party providers that also support the ONVIF standard.
How is the camera powered?
The camera supports two methods: Either via a 12V DC power adapter or, which is recommended, via Power over Ethernet (PoE 802.3af/at), where power and data are supplied via a single network cable.
