5 Mpix 2.8 mm IP camera with full-color night mode

The device features a 5 MP lens and supports a resolution of 2880 x 1620 px. Its focal length is 2.8 mm, offering a field of view of 109° horizontally and 57° vertically (128° diagonal). The 2.8 mm version provides a wider field of view than the 4 mm version but at the expense of a shorter recording range.

The camera supports a color night mode and is equipped with a single white light LED, enabling it to capture color images even in very low-light conditions. It also features a standard black-and-white night mode using an IR LED. In both modes, the maximum recording range is 30 meters.

Human & Vehicle Classification

The human and vehicle classification feature helps reduce false alarms and notifications. This ensures that if you configure an alert or alarm to trigger upon line crossing detection, it will only be activated by humans or vehicles, not by animals or other irrelevant objects.

Smart Detection

The VIGI C250 supports Smart Detection features, which allow you to recognize and program behaviors accordingly, such as triggering an alarm or starting recording. The device can detect:

• intrusion detection
• line-crossing
• region entering detection
• region exiting detection
• abandoned object detection
• object removal detection
• loitering detection
• scene change detection

People Analytics

The human and vehicle classification feature helps reduce the number of false alarms and notifications. This ensures that if you configure an alert or notification to trigger upon line crossing, it will only be activated by humans or vehicles, not by animals or other irrelevant objects.

Vehicle Analytics

The camera can also analyze vehicles based on their type and color.

IP67, IK10

The offered product features a housing fully suitable for outdoor installation, with an IP67 rating that ensures protection against water and dust ingress. An additional advantage is its enhanced mechanical durability, rated at IK10. This makes the camera capable of withstanding certain impacts, making it ideal for use in areas prone to vandalism.

H.265+

The H.265+ compression significantly reduces the size of recorded files and minimizes bandwidth requirements. The VIGI C250's maximum bitrate is just 6 Mbps, which is particularly useful in locations where connectivity is provided via a wireless bridge.

MicroSD slot

The camera features a microSD card slot that supports memory cards with a maximum capacity of 512 GB. This allows you to store surveillance recordings without the need for an external IP recorder. Alternatively, recordings can be saved using a traditional IP recorder or the VIGI Security Manager application, available for PC.

Remote management

The VIGI app is available for mobile devices running Android and iOS. It allows you to access the live feed from the cameras and view recorded footage. A very useful feature is the real-time notifications that inform you of detected events. The app enables full configuration of monitoring settings, such as patrol routes and motion zones.

You can also manage the camera through the web interface or the recorder software if you are using one. Additionally, the VIGI Security Manager program is available for PCs.

VIGI system

The device is designed to work within the TP-Link VIGI system, but thanks to ONVIF protocol support, it can also be connected to recorders from other manufacturers. VIGI offers professional and secure monitoring that is suitable for both home and business applications. It features advanced management capabilities and a simple, intuitive interface.
