The TP-Link VIGI C340I is a professional-grade 4MP outdoor IP bullet camera built for reliable, around-the-clock surveillance. With IP67 weatherproofing, H.265+ compression, smart human and vehicle detection, and flexible PoE or 12V DC power options, it’s an ideal choice for installers and property owners looking for a high-performance, cost-effective outdoor CCTV solution across residential, commercial, and industrial sites.
Key Features
-
4MP Super-High Definition: Captures detailed footage at 2560×1440 resolution — enough clarity to identify faces, number plates, and fine details.
-
Human & Vehicle Classification: AI-powered detection distinguishes people and vehicles from other motion triggers, reducing false alerts from animals, foliage, or lighting changes.
-
Smart Detection: Configurable alerts for line crossing, intrusion detection, camera tampering, and abandoned or missing object detection.
-
IR Night Vision: Infrared illumination provides clear black-and-white footage in complete darkness at extended range.
-
Smart IR: Automatically adjusts IR intensity to prevent overexposure on close subjects, maintaining image clarity at all distances.
-
Wide Dynamic Range (WDR): Balances exposure in high-contrast scenes — ideal for entrances, car parks, and areas with mixed lighting.
-
H.265+ Compression: Reduces storage and bandwidth requirements by up to 90% compared to H.264, without sacrificing image quality.
-
IP67 Weatherproof: Fully dust-tight and protected against water jets — built for permanent outdoor installation in Australian conditions.
-
PoE & 12V DC Power: Dual power input options simplify installation — use existing PoE switches or a standard 12V DC power supply.
-
2.8mm Wide-Angle Lens: Provides a broad field of view, ideal for covering entrances, driveways, car parks, and open outdoor areas. Also available in 4mm and 6mm variants.
-
3D DNR: Three-dimensional digital noise reduction delivers cleaner footage in low-light conditions.
-
Flexible Management: Manage via web browser UI, VIGI NVR, VIGI Security Manager software, or the VIGI mobile app.
Use Cases
-
Residential Driveways & Entrances: The 2.8mm wide-angle lens covers broad entry points, with smart detection alerting homeowners to approaching vehicles or visitors.
-
Commercial Car Parks: Vehicle classification and WDR ensure reliable monitoring in mixed-light outdoor environments.
-
Retail & Warehouse Perimeters: IP67 durability and H.265+ storage efficiency make it a practical choice for large-scale commercial deployments.
-
Industrial Sites: Robust weatherproofing and PoE flexibility suit harsh outdoor environments where cable runs are long and conditions are demanding.
-
School & Campus Security: Smart intrusion and line-crossing detection provide proactive perimeter monitoring for education facilities.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the VIGI C340I suitable for outdoor use in Australia?
Yes. The C340I carries an IP67 rating, meaning it is fully dust-tight and protected against powerful water jets. It is designed for permanent outdoor installation and will withstand typical Australian weather conditions including rain, humidity, and dust.
Does this camera require a PoE switch?
No. The C340I supports both PoE (IEEE 802.3af) and 12V DC power input. If you don’t have a PoE switch, you can power it using a standard 12V DC power supply. PoE is recommended for cleaner, single-cable installations.
What is the difference between the 2.8mm, 4mm, and 6mm lens variants?
The 2.8mm lens provides the widest field of view and is best suited for covering broad areas like driveways, car parks, and building entrances. The 4mm lens offers a moderate field of view for general outdoor use, while the 6mm lens provides a narrower, longer-range view suited to monitoring specific points at greater distances.
Does the C340I work with TP-Link VIGI NVRs?
Yes. The VIGI C340I is fully compatible with TP-Link VIGI NVRs and can be managed centrally via the VIGI Security Manager software or the VIGI mobile app alongside other VIGI cameras on the same network.
What smart detection features are available?
The C340I supports line crossing detection, intrusion detection, camera tampering alerts, and abandoned or missing object detection. It also uses AI to classify detected objects as humans or vehicles, reducing false notifications from non-relevant motion triggers.
Does the camera have audio?
Yes. The VIGI C340I includes a built-in microphone for audio capture. It does not include a built-in speaker, so two-way audio is not supported on this model.
How much storage does H.265+ save compared to H.264?
H.265+ can reduce storage and bandwidth consumption by up to 90% compared to standard H.264, allowing you to store significantly more footage on the same NVR hard drive without reducing video quality.
