Brilliant Colors, Day and Night: Your World in 4MP
The TP-Link VIGI C445 redefines night vision. Forget grainy black-and-white footage. Thanks to the highly sensitive 4-megapixel sensor and large F1.6 aperture, this camera delivers vibrant, detailed color images even in low light. This means you not only recognize AT NIGHT that someone is on your property, but also the color of their jacket or car. For absolute darkness, the integrated white light LEDs switch on and illuminate the scene like a spotlight. This surveillance camera for color night vision is a real game-changer for your security.
Intelligence that Thinks Ahead: No More False Alarms
What's the point of the best camera if your phone constantly alarms because of a passing moth or branches swaying in the wind? The VIGI C445 uses advanced deep-learning algorithms to precisely distinguish people and vehicles from other movements. You only receive a notification when it's truly important. Define zones for line crossing or area intrusion and let the camera do the work. This intelligent motion detection makes your surveillance more efficient and stress-free than ever before.
Built to Last: Robust Technology, Easy Installation
The VIGI C445 is a true IP67 outdoor camera with 2-way audio, designed for tough outdoor use. The robust metal housing is IP67 certified, making it completely dustproof and resistant to all weather conditions. Installation is a breeze with Power over Ethernet (PoE): a single Ethernet Cable is enough to power the camera and provide Network access. This saves time, money, and complex Cabling. It is the perfect addition to any professional setup with PoE Injectors / Power Supplies and a core component of the TP-Link VIGI system.
More Than Just Seeing: Hearing, Speaking, Interacting
A surveillance camera should do more than just record. With the integrated microphone and speaker, the VIGI C445 becomes an interactive security center. Listen live via the VIGI app to what's happening in the monitored area. Speak to the postman, reprimand uninvited guests, or calm your pet – all directly from your smartphone. This two-way audio function adds a whole new dimension to your security, making it one of the most versatile IP Cameras on the market.
