TP-Link VIGI C340 4MP Outdoor Full-Colour Bullet Network Camera (4mm Lens)
24-Hour Full-Colour Surveillance for Demanding Outdoor Environments
The TP-Link VIGI C340 is a professional-grade 4MP outdoor bullet IP camera designed for installers and end users who need reliable, high-quality surveillance around the clock. Equipped with a high-sensitivity image sensor and built-in spotlight LEDs, it delivers full-colour video even in complete darkness — not just black-and-white infrared. With IP66 weatherproofing, smart AI detection, H.265+ compression, and flexible PoE or 12V DC power, the VIGI C340 is built for permanent outdoor installation in Australian conditions.
Key Features
-
4MP Resolution (2560×1440) — High-definition footage that captures fine details, faces, and number plates with clarity.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between full-colour night vision and standard IR night vision?
Standard IR night vision produces black-and-white footage in low light. The VIGI C340’s full-colour night vision uses built-in spotlight LEDs to illuminate the scene in full colour around the clock, making it easier to identify clothing colours, vehicle colours, and other details that IR cannot capture.
Does the VIGI C340 support PoE?
Yes. The VIGI C340 supports IEEE 802.3af PoE, allowing it to be powered via a single Ethernet cable from a compatible PoE switch or PoE injector. It also supports 12V DC power for installations where PoE is not available.
Is the VIGI C340 compatible with third-party NVRs?
The VIGI C340 supports ONVIF, which provides compatibility with many third-party NVR systems. For full feature support including smart detection and H.265+ compression, a TP-Link VIGI NVR is recommended.
Does the VIGI C340 record locally without an NVR?
The VIGI C340 does not have a built-in microSD card slot. For local recording, a TP-Link VIGI NVR is required. Remote viewing and motion alerts are available via the VIGI app without an NVR.
What is H.265+ and why does it matter?
H.265+ is an advanced video compression standard that reduces file sizes by up to 50% compared to H.264, without sacrificing image quality. This means less storage space is required on your NVR and less bandwidth is consumed on your network, reducing the overall cost of your surveillance system.
Is the VIGI C340 suitable for Australian outdoor conditions?
Yes. The VIGI C340 carries an IP66 weatherproof rating and operates across a temperature range of -30°C to 60°C, making it well-suited for permanent outdoor installation across all Australian climates, including coastal, tropical, and high-temperature environments.
