Description

TP-Link VIGI C240I 4MP 4mm Lens IR Dome IP Camera

Designed for commercial, public, and institutional environments where physical tampering, harsh weather, and elevated forensic clarity are paramount, the TP-Link VIGI C240I (4mm) delivers crisp 4-megapixel Quad-HD video ($2560 \times 1440$) at up to 30 frames per second. Its optical assembly incorporates a precision 4.0mm fixed focal lens with an F2.2 aperture, producing a focused $75.1^\circ$ horizontal field of view ($88.7^\circ$ diagonal). Compared to ultra-wide 2.8mm lenses, this 4mm configuration concentrates pixels over distance, delivering an effective target detection distance of up to 80 meters (262 ft) and critical target identification at 8 meters (26 ft) down corridors, checkout counters, and access gates. The camera features internal 3-axis gimbal adjustment to allow effortless surface-mount alignment on ceilings or walls.

A core operational highlight of the VIGI C240I is its on-board deep-learning AI processor supporting Human & Vehicle Classification. By distinguishing people and vehicles from non-threatening motion events (such as passing shadows, insects, or fluttering curtains), the camera significantly reduces false alarm triggers to provide actionable event alerts. The camera supports a comprehensive suite of smart behavioral detection rules, including Area Intrusion Detection, Line-Crossing, Region Entering/Exiting, Object Abandonment, Object Removal, and Camera Tampering.

Constructed for demanding deployments, the camera features an IK10 vandal-resistant dome bubble capable of withstanding blunt-force mechanical impacts, combined with an IP67-rated weather-sealed body that protects internal components against torrential rain, moisture, and airborne dust particles across operating temperatures from -30 °C to 60 °C. In zero-lux conditions, the integrated Smart IR LED illumination system projects evenly up to 30 meters (98 ft). Its Smart IR controller dynamically modulates infrared output power to avoid washing out human facial features as subjects approach. Visual balance is reinforced through SmartVid technologies, including Digital Wide Dynamic Range (DWDR), 3D Digital Noise Reduction (3D DNR), Backlight Compensation (BLC), Highlight Compensation (HLC), and Corridor Mode (90°/270° rotation).

Using high-efficiency H.265+ and H.264+ smart compression, the camera reduces network bandwidth consumption and cuts NVR storage demands without sacrificing forensic detail. Management is flexible and unified across the VIGI App, VIGI Security Manager PC client, VIGI NVRs, or standard web browsers, with ONVIF Profile S/G/T compliance ensuring seamless third-party VMS integration. Power is supplied through standard Power over Ethernet (PoE IEEE 802.3af/at Class 0) or auxiliary 12V DC.
