Description
TP-Link VIGI C340S (4mm) 4MP Outdoor Full-Colour PoE Network Camera
Overview
The TP-Link VIGI C340S is a 4-megapixel outdoor turret network camera designed to deliver sharp, full-colour footage around the clock. Equipped with a 4 mm fixed lens and dual smart supplemental lights, it produces vivid colour images even in near-total darkness — without the washed-out look of traditional IR night vision. Powered via a single PoE cable and managed through the VIGI app or VIGI NVR, the C340S is a straightforward, high-performance choice for homes, small businesses, and commercial sites across Australia.
Key Features
-
4MP Full-Colour Imaging: 2560 × 1440 resolution with a 4 mm fixed lens captures crisp, detailed footage day and night.
-
Full-Colour Night Vision: Dual smart supplemental lights (white light + IR) produce vivid colour images in low-light and dark conditions — no more grainy black-and-white footage.
-
Smart Detection: Built-in AI-powered person and vehicle detection reduces false alerts triggered by animals, foliage, or passing headlights.
-
H.265+ Compression: Efficient video compression reduces storage consumption by up to 75% compared to H.264, lowering NVR and hard drive costs.
-
PoE Powered: Single Cat5e/Cat6 cable carries both data and power (802.3af) — clean, simple installation with no separate power run.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the VIGI C340S record in colour at night?
Yes. The C340S uses dual smart supplemental lights (white light and IR) to produce full-colour footage in low-light and dark conditions. The camera intelligently switches between colour and IR modes based on ambient light levels.
Does it require a VIGI NVR?
No — the C340S can be used as a standalone camera managed via the VIGI app on your smartphone, or integrated with the free VIGI Security Manager software on a Windows PC. A VIGI NVR is recommended for multi-camera sites requiring continuous local recording and storage.
Is it suitable for Australian outdoor conditions?
Yes. The C340S carries an IP67 weatherproof rating (fully protected against dust and heavy rain) and operates across a wide temperature range of -30 °C to 60 °C, making it well-suited to Australian climates from tropical north Queensland to alpine Victoria.
What PoE standard does it use?
The C340S is powered by 802.3af PoE (standard PoE), drawing a maximum of 10 W. It is compatible with any 802.3af or 802.3at (PoE+) switch or injector.
Can I view footage remotely on my phone?
Yes. The VIGI app (available on iOS and Android) allows you to view live and recorded footage, receive smart detection alerts, and use two-way audio from anywhere with an internet connection.
How much storage does it use?
Thanks to H.265+ compression, the C340S uses significantly less storage than older H.264 cameras — up to 75% less in ideal conditions. Actual storage consumption depends on scene complexity, frame rate, and recording schedule. A VIGI NVR with a compatible hard drive is recommended for continuous recording.
