4MP Outdoor Bullet Camera with Smart Detection and IP67 Weatherproofing
The TP-Link VIGI C340I is a 4MP Super-HD outdoor IR bullet network camera designed for professional CCTV installations. With a 4mm fixed lens, IP67 weatherproofing, H.265+ compression, and smart detection features including human and vehicle classification, line crossing, and intrusion detection, it delivers sharp, reliable surveillance footage in all weather conditions — day and night. Powered via PoE or 12V DC, it integrates seamlessly with TP-Link VIGI NVRs, the VIGI app, and VIGI Security Manager for flexible, scalable management.
Key Features
-
4MP Super-High Definition: Captures detailed 4MP (2560×1440) footage — significantly sharper than 1080p — for reliable identification of faces, licence plates, and fine details.
-
4mm Fixed Lens: Provides a balanced field of view suitable for monitoring driveways, car parks, building entrances, and medium-distance outdoor areas. Also available in 2.8mm and 6mm variants.
-
Human & Vehicle Classification: AI-powered detection distinguishes humans and vehicles from other motion sources (animals, foliage), reducing false alerts and improving notification accuracy.
-
Smart Detection: Configurable smart events including Line Crossing, Intrusion Detection, Object Removal, Object Abandonment, and Camera Tamper Detection — with instant push notifications.
-
IR Night Vision: Built-in infrared LEDs provide clear black-and-white night vision in complete darkness — Smart IR automatically adjusts IR intensity to prevent overexposure at close range.
-
H.265+ Compression: Reduces storage consumption and network bandwidth by up to 50% compared to H.264 without sacrificing image quality — lowering NVR storage and running costs.
-
IP67 Weatherproof: Fully dust-tight and protected against water jets — suitable for permanent outdoor installation in Australian conditions including rain, dust, and humidity.
-
PoE or 12V DC Power: Flexible dual power options — connect via a single PoE Ethernet cable for clean, simple installation, or use a 12V DC power adapter where PoE is unavailable.
-
WDR, 3D DNR & Smart IR: Advanced video enhancement technologies improve image quality in challenging lighting conditions including backlit scenes, bright sunlight, and low-light environments.
-
Flexible Management: Manage via the VIGI NVR UI, web browser, VIGI app (iOS & Android), or VIGI Security Manager desktop software — supporting both local and remote monitoring.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the C340I and the C340?
The VIGI C340I is the indoor/outdoor IR bullet variant with a traditional bullet-style housing, while the VIGI C340 is a dome camera. Both share the same 4MP resolution and smart detection features. Choose the C340I bullet for directional mounting on walls and eaves where a visible deterrent is preferred; choose the C340 dome for ceiling mounting or vandal-resistant installations.
Which lens size should I choose — 2.8mm, 4mm, or 6mm?
The 2.8mm lens provides a wider field of view, ideal for covering large areas at close range such as small rooms or building entrances. The 4mm lens (this model) offers a balanced view suitable for driveways, car parks, and medium-distance monitoring. The 6mm lens provides a narrower, longer-range view for monitoring specific points such as gates, doorways, or distant areas.
Does it work with non-TP-Link NVRs?
Yes. The VIGI C340I is ONVIF-compliant, allowing it to work with most third-party ONVIF-compatible NVRs and VMS software. For full smart detection features, human/vehicle classification, and seamless integration, use with a TP-Link VIGI NVR (e.g. NVR1008H-8P).
Is it suitable for Australian outdoor conditions?
Yes. The IP67 rating means the camera is fully dust-tight and protected against powerful water jets — suitable for permanent outdoor installation in Australian conditions including rain, coastal humidity, and dust. It is not rated for submersion.
Does it require a PoE switch or can I use a power adapter?
Both options are supported. Connect via a PoE switch (802.3af) for a single-cable installation with no separate power adapter, or use a 12V DC power adapter where PoE infrastructure is not available. PoE is recommended for professional installations for cleaner cabling.
What NVR is recommended for this camera?
The TP-Link VIGI NVR1008H-8P is an ideal pairing — it provides 8 PoE+ ports to power and connect up to 8 VIGI cameras, with 4K HDMI output, 16MP decoding, and Plug & Play auto-detection of VIGI cameras. For larger installations, the VIGI NVR2016H or NVR2032H support up to 16 or 32 channels respectively.
