Brilliant 4K Resolution Meets Full-Color Night Vision
No more blurry and grainy footage. The TP-Link VIGI C485 delivers stunning 4K UHD resolution with its 8-megapixel sensor, capturing every detail crystal clear. But the real magic begins when the sun goes down. Instead of washed-out black and white images, this IP camera provides night vision in color. Thanks to highly sensitive components and integrated white light LEDs with a 30-meter range, you can recognize people, vehicles, and objects in their true colors even in the deepest night – a crucial advantage for identification.
Intelligent AI Detection: Never a False Alarm Again
Are you tired of receiving notifications for every falling leaf or passing cat? The VIGI C485 uses advanced AI algorithms to intelligently distinguish between people, vehicles, and other movements. Define zones for line crossing, area entry, or intrusion detection and only be alerted when something truly important happens. This not only saves nerves but also makes your surveillance significantly more efficient and targeted.
Robust & Flexible: Built for Any Weather, Easily Installed
This camera is designed for tough outdoor use. The solid metal housing is IP67 certified, making it completely protected against dust and strong water jets. Whether freezing cold at -30 °C or scorching heat at 60 °C – the VIGI C485 operates reliably. Installation is a breeze thanks to Power over Ethernet (PoE) support. A single Network cable is enough to supply the camera with power and data. This makes Cabling clean, simple, and flexible. If you don't have a PoE Network, you can alternatively operate it with a 12V power adapter. This camera belongs to the category of professional IP Cameras from TP-Link VIGI.
Active Deterrence and Direct Communication
The VIGI C485 is not just a passive observer, but an active part of your security concept. Upon detecting an intruder, the camera can automatically trigger a loud alarm and flash the integrated white light LEDs to effectively deter unwanted visitors. Additionally, the built-in microphone and speaker enable two-way communication. Greet your guests, give instructions to the delivery person, or unequivocally tell intruders to leave your property – all directly via the VIGI app on your smartphone.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can the TP-Link VIGI C485 record color images at night?
Yes, the camera features a "Full-Color" mode. Thanks to highly sensitive sensors and integrated white light LEDs, it can record clear and colorful video images even in very low ambient light or complete darkness.
Does the VIGI C485 camera require a separate power cable?
Not necessarily. The camera supports Power over Ethernet (PoE). When connected to a PoE-enabled switch or injector, it receives power and data via a single Ethernet Cable. Alternatively, it can also be operated with a 12V DC power adapter.
How does the camera distinguish between people and other movements?
The VIGI C485 uses advanced AI algorithms for person and vehicle classification. It analyzes the shape and movement of objects, allowing it to reliably distinguish between people, vehicles, and irrelevant triggers like falling leaves, to minimize false alarms.
