Everything you need to start monitoring your home's exterior is included — no NVR, no complex wiring, and no ongoing subscription required. Description Outdoor security should be straightforward. The Tapo TC92 Kit pairs a high-resolution 2K outdoor camera with local storage capability and smart motion detection, giving homeowners and small business owners a reliable, self-contained surveillance solution. The camera connects directly to your existing 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network and is managed entirely through the free Tapo app. Full-colour night vision — powered by a built-in spotlight — captures clear, identifiable footage after dark rather than the grainy monochrome images typical of standard IR cameras. AI-powered person and vehicle detection reduces false alerts from animals, foliage, and passing headlights, so you are only notified when it matters. IP67 weatherproofing means the camera withstands dust ingress and temporary submersion, making it well suited to Australian outdoor conditions including rain, humidity, and coastal environments.

The operating temperature range of -30°C to 60°C covers all Australian climate zones. Does the TC92 support 5 GHz Wi-Fi? No. The Tapo TC92 connects to 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi networks only. Ensure your router or access point broadcasts a 2.4 GHz SSID. The 2.4 GHz band provides better range and wall penetration than 5 GHz, which is advantageous for outdoor camera installations. How far does the colour night vision reach? The built-in spotlight enables full-colour night vision up to approximately 30 metres in complete darkness. Beyond this range, or when the spotlight is disabled, the camera switches to standard infrared night vision mode. Can I add more TC92 cameras to the same Tapo account? Yes. Multiple Tapo cameras can be added to a single Tapo account and managed from the same app. There is no limit on the number of cameras per account, making it easy to scale your security system as needed.

Downloads VIGI C240I Datasheet (PDF) Frequently Asked Questions What is the difference between the VIGI C240I and the VIGI C240? The VIGI C240I uses infrared (IR) night vision, producing black-and-white footage in low-light and dark conditions. The VIGI C240 uses full-colour night vision with spotlight LEDs, producing colour footage in complete darkness. The C240I is typically preferred for installations where the spotlight LEDs of a full-colour camera would be intrusive or unwanted, such as in residential areas or discreet commercial monitoring. Does the VIGI C240I work without an NVR? Yes. The C240I supports standalone operation with local recording to a microSD card and remote management via the VIGI app or web browser. A VIGI NVR is optional but recommended for multi-camera deployments requiring centralised recording, playback, and AI event management. What PoE standard does this camera require? The VIGI C240I is powered by IEEE 802.3af PoE, which is the standard supported by most PoE switches and NVRs. It also accepts 12V DC power if PoE is not available at the installation point. How does AI human and vehicle detection reduce false alarms? The on-board AI chip analyses motion events in real time and classifies them as human, vehicle, or other. Only human and vehicle events trigger push notifications, so you won’t receive alerts for a cat walking past, a tree branch moving, or a change in lighting — significantly reducing alarm fatigue on busy commercial sites. Is the IK10 rating important for my installation? IK10 is the highest impact protection rating, meaning the camera housing can withstand a 20-joule impact — equivalent to a 5kg weight dropped from 40cm. This is important for installations in car parks, stairwells, public toilets, and any location where the camera may be subject to deliberate tampering or accidental impact. Can I integrate the VIGI C240I with third-party NVRs? The VIGI C240I supports ONVIF, allowing basic integration with compatible third-party NVRs and VMS platforms. Full AI features including human/vehicle classification and smart detection events are only available within the TP-Link VIGI ecosystem.

Downloads VIGI C240 Datasheet (PDF) Frequently Asked Questions What is the difference between the VIGI C240 and the VIGI C240I? The VIGI C240 uses full-colour night vision with white light LEDs, producing colour footage in complete darkness. The VIGI C240I uses infrared (IR) LEDs, producing black-and-white footage in low-light and dark conditions. The C240 is preferred where colour detail at night is important for identification — such as retail, car parks, and entrances. The C240I is preferred where discreet monitoring is required, as the IR LEDs are invisible to the naked eye. Does the white light turn on automatically at night? Yes. The VIGI C240’s white light LEDs activate automatically when the camera detects low-light conditions, providing full-colour illumination. The sensitivity threshold can be adjusted via the VIGI app or web UI. The visible white light also acts as a deterrent to potential intruders. Is the VIGI C240 suitable for outdoor installation in Australia? Yes. The VIGI C240 carries an IP67 weatherproof rating — fully sealed against dust ingress and heavy rain — and an IK10 vandal-proof rating for impact resistance. It is suitable for outdoor installation in all Australian weather conditions including coastal, tropical, and high-UV environments. Ensure the mounting surface and cable entry point are also appropriately sealed for outdoor use. Can the VIGI C240 record without an NVR? Yes. The C240 supports standalone on-camera recording to a microSD card (up to 256GB) and remote management via the VIGI app or web browser. A VIGI NVR is optional but recommended for multi-camera deployments requiring centralised recording, playback, and AI event management. What is the 2.8mm lens field of view suitable for? The 2.8mm lens provides a wide field of view — approximately 100–110 degrees horizontal — making it ideal for covering large areas at close to medium range, such as retail floors, reception areas, car park bays, and building entrances. For longer-range coverage of corridors, driveways, or perimeter fencing, the 4mm variant provides a narrower field of view with greater effective range.

A standard PTZ camera uses a single lens that physically zooms in, losing the wide-angle view in the process. The C540V’s dual-lens design maintains a wide-area overview on one lens while simultaneously providing a zoomed close-up on the other — giving operators both context and detail at the same time without switching between views. Is the 3× zoom optical or digital? The C540V uses optical zoom, which maintains full image quality at all zoom levels. Digital zoom crops and enlarges the existing image, reducing resolution and detail. Optical zoom is significantly superior for identification purposes at distance. Does the C540V work without an NVR? Yes. The C540V supports standalone operation with local recording to a microSD card (up to 256GB, sold separately) and remote management via the VIGI app. A VIGI NVR is optional but recommended for multi-camera deployments requiring centralised recording, playback, and AI event management. What PoE standard does this camera require? The VIGI C540V is powered by IEEE 802.3af PoE. It also accepts 12V DC power if PoE is not available at the installation point. Check the product datasheet for exact power consumption to ensure your PoE switch or injector can supply sufficient wattage for the motorised pan/tilt mechanism. How does auto-tracking work? When a human or vehicle is detected within the camera’s field of view, the C540V’s motorised pan and tilt automatically follows the subject as it moves, keeping it centred in frame. This is particularly useful for perimeter monitoring where subjects may move across a wide area beyond the initial detection zone. Is this camera suitable for Australian outdoor conditions? Yes. The IP66 rating protects against dust ingress and heavy rain, making it suitable for exposed outdoor locations across all Australian climates including tropical, coastal, and arid environments.

The VIGI C540-W adds Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing it to connect to your network wirelessly without an Ethernet cable at the mounting point. The VIGI C540 is the wired-only version requiring an Ethernet (PoE) cable for both data and power. The C540-W also supports 12V DC power via an adapter. Choose the C540-W for flexible wireless outdoor placement; choose the C540 for permanent wired PoE installations where cable infrastructure is already in place. Does the C540-W require a Wi-Fi connection, or can it also use Ethernet? The VIGI C540-W supports both Wi-Fi and wired Ethernet connectivity. Wi-Fi allows cable-free placement at the mounting point. If an Ethernet cable is available at the mounting point, it can also be connected via RJ45 for a more stable wired connection. Check the datasheet for PoE support details on the wired port. How does auto-tracking work? When auto-tracking is enabled, the camera’s AI detects a moving person or vehicle in the scene and automatically pans and tilts to keep the subject centred in the frame as they move. This is particularly useful for monitoring large open areas such as yards and car parks where a fixed camera would lose the subject as they move out of the field of view. Auto-tracking can be enabled or disabled via the VIGI app or web UI. Can I control the pan and tilt remotely from my phone? Yes. The VIGI app (iOS & Android) allows you to manually control the pan and tilt direction of the C540-W remotely from anywhere with an internet connection. You can also set preset positions and patrol routes via the app for automated monitoring without manual control. Does the VIGI C540-W record audio? Yes. The C540-W has a built-in microphone for one-way audio recording. Audio surveillance in Australia may require compliance with state and federal privacy legislation, including signage requirements in workplaces and public areas. Consult your legal obligations before enabling audio recording.

Frequently Asked Questions What is the difference between the VIGI C340 and the VIGI C340I? The VIGI C340 uses full-colour night vision with spotlight LEDs, producing colour footage in complete darkness. The VIGI C340I uses infrared (IR) LEDs, producing black-and-white footage in low-light and dark conditions. The C340 is preferred where colour detail at night is important for identification — such as driveways, car parks, and building entrances. The C340I is preferred where discreet monitoring is required, as the IR LEDs are invisible to the naked eye and the camera does not emit visible light at night. What is the difference between IP66 and IP67? Both ratings provide full dust protection (IP6X). IP66 protects against powerful water jets from any direction — suitable for all outdoor Australian weather conditions including heavy rain. IP67 additionally protects against temporary water immersion up to 1 metre. For standard outdoor mounting on walls, eaves, and poles, IP66 is more than sufficient. The VIGI C240 dome camera carries IP67 if immersion protection is required. Does the VIGI C340 record audio? Yes. The VIGI C340 has a built-in microphone for one-way audio recording. Audio surveillance in Australia may require compliance with state and federal privacy legislation, including signage requirements. Consult your legal obligations before enabling audio recording in workplaces or public areas. Can the VIGI C340 operate without an NVR? Yes. The C340 supports standalone operation with local recording to a microSD card and remote management via the VIGI app or web browser. A VIGI NVR is optional but recommended for multi-camera deployments requiring centralised recording, playback, and smart event management. Which lens variant should I choose — 2.8mm, 4mm, or 6mm? The 2.8mm lens provides the widest field of view — best for covering large open areas at close to medium range such as driveways, car parks, and building entrances. The 4mm lens offers a narrower field of view with greater effective range — suited to corridors, gates, and medium-distance coverage. The 6mm lens provides the narrowest field of view and longest effective range — ideal for monitoring specific points at distance such as gates, letterboxes, or perimeter fencing from a fixed mounting point.

Common Use Cases Car parks and driveways where colour identification of vehicles is critical Retail store interiors and entrances requiring 24/7 colour footage for incident review Building entrances and reception areas with mixed lighting conditions Warehouses and commercial properties requiring active deterrence with sound and light alarms Residential properties where colour night vision improves identification over standard IR cameras Standalone deployments with local SD card recording (no NVR required) Technical Specifications Model VIGI C440 (2.8mm) Resolution 4MP (2560×1440) Lens 2.8mm fixed (also available in 4mm) Camera Type Full-Colour Turret (indoor/outdoor) Night Vision Full-colour 24/7 (spotlight LEDs) Active Defence Yes (sound & light alarm) Two-Way Audio Yes (built-in mic & speaker) Video Compression H.265+ / H.265 / H.264+ / H.264 Smart Detection Line Crossing, Area Intrusion, Camera Tamper Video Enhancement WDR, 3D DNR, Smart IR Local Storage microSD card slot (capacity not specified) Power Supply PoE (IEEE 802.3af) or 12V DC Network Interface RJ45 10/100Mbps Management VIGI NVR, VIGI App, VIGI Security Manager ONVIF Yes Weight 400g Frequently Asked Questions What is the difference between the VIGI C440 (full-colour) and the VIGI C440I (IR)? The VIGI C440 uses built-in spotlight LEDs to produce full-colour footage 24 hours a day — including in complete darkness. The VIGI C440I uses infrared LEDs that produce black-and-white footage at night. The C440 is the better choice when colour identification is important (e.g. vehicle colours, clothing); the C440I is better for discreet installations where visible spotlight LEDs are undesirable, or where battery/power consumption is a concern. What is Active Defence and how does it work? Active Defence is TP-Link's term for the camera's built-in deterrence capability. When a smart detection event is triggered (such as line crossing or area intrusion), the camera can automatically activate its spotlight LEDs and built-in siren to warn and deter the intruder in real time — without requiring any manual action. This can be configured via the VIGI app or VIGI Security Manager. Does the 2.8mm lens provide a wide or narrow field of view? The 2.8mm lens provides a wide field of view — ideal for covering large areas at close to medium range such as car parks, open rooms, building entrances, and retail floors. For longer-distance monitoring of specific points (gates, driveways, corridors), the 4mm lens variant provides a narrower, more focused view. Can it record without an NVR? Yes. The VIGI C440 has an onboard microSD card slot for local recording, allowing it to operate as a standalone camera without an NVR. It can also be managed directly via the VIGI app or VIGI Security Manager. For multi-camera installations with centralised recording and playback, a VIGI NVR is recommended. Is it suitable for outdoor installation? Yes. The VIGI C440 is rated for outdoor use. Check the product's IP rating for specific weatherproofing details. For permanent outdoor installation in Australian conditions, mount in a sheltered position where possible to maximise longevity and protect the spotlight LEDs. What NVR is recommended for this camera? The TP-Link VIGI NVR1008H-8P is an ideal pairing for small installations — it provides 8 PoE+ ports to power and connect up to 8 VIGI cameras with Plug & Play auto-detection and 4K HDMI output. For larger installations, the VIGI NVR2016H (16 channels) or NVR2032H (32 channels) are recommended.
