Unlike IR cameras that switch to black-and-white at night, the C240 maintains full-colour footage around the clock, making it significantly easier to identify clothing colours, vehicle colours, and other critical details in after-hours incidents. With AI human and vehicle classification, smart detection, IK10 vandal-proof and IP67 weatherproof housing, a built-in microphone, and PoE or 12V DC power, it’s a versatile indoor\/outdoor dome camera suited to retail, commercial, and residential installations across Australia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFull-Colour vs IR Night Vision — What’s the Difference?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color:#f5f5f5;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eFeature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eVIGI C240 Full-Colour (This Model)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eVIGI C240I IR\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eNight Vision\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eFull colour (white light LEDs)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eBlack \u0026amp;

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the white light turn on automatically at night?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the VIGI C240 suitable for outdoor installation in Australia?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the VIGI C240 record without an NVR?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the 2.8mm lens field of view suitable for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TP-Link","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44388453417189,"sku":"VIGI C240(2.8mm)","price":89.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/1554\/1221\/files\/tp-link-vigi-c240-4mp-full-colour-dome-network-camera..png?v=1779785766","url":"https:\/\/cctvguru.com.au\/products\/tp-link-vigi-c240-4mp-full-colour-dome-network-camera-2-8mm","provider":"CCTV Guru","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
