Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the 2.8mm and 4mm lens versions?
The 2.8mm lens provides a wider field of view, making it better suited for enclosed spaces like corridors, lifts, and small rooms. The 4mm lens has a narrower field of view but greater reach, making it more suitable for car parks, driveways, and open areas where you need to see further into the scene.
Does the VIGI C240I work with non-VIGI NVRs?
Yes. The C240I is ONVIF-compliant and can be added to any ONVIF-compatible NVR. However, AI smart detection features such as human/vehicle classification and smart event alerts are fully supported only when used with a VIGI NVR or the VIGI app.
Can I power the camera without a PoE switch?
Yes. The C240I supports both PoE (802.3af) and 12V DC power. If you don’t have a PoE switch, you can use a standard 12V DC power adapter (sold separately) to power the camera directly.
Is the C240I suitable for outdoor installation in Australia?
Yes. The IP67 rating provides full protection against dust ingress and heavy rain, making it suitable for outdoor installation in Australian conditions. The IK10 vandal-proof housing also protects against physical impact.
How do I access the camera remotely?
Download the free VIGI app on iOS or Android and log in with your TP-Link ID. You can view live feeds, review recordings, and manage camera settings from anywhere with an internet connection. The VIGI Security Manager desktop application is also available for PC-based management.
