5MP Full-Colour Outdoor Bullet Camera with AI Analytics, Active Defence and IP67 Weatherproofing
The TP-Link VIGI C350 is a 5MP full-colour outdoor bullet network camera that delivers vivid, colour footage around the clock — including in complete darkness — using a high-sensitivity large-aperture sensor and built-in spotlight LEDs. Available in 2.8mm, 4mm, and 6mm fixed lens options, it combines AI-powered People & Vehicle Analytics, smart detection, active defence, two-way audio, and local SD card storage up to 256GB in a robust IP67-rated bullet housing. Purpose-built for commercial CCTV, retail, and high-security outdoor installations across Australia.
Key Features
-
5MP Super-High Definition: Captures detailed 5MP footage for reliable identification of faces, clothing colours, licence plates, and fine details at a distance — significantly sharper than 4MP or 1080p cameras.
-
24/7 Full-Colour Night Vision: Built-in spotlight LEDs and a high-sensitivity large-aperture sensor deliver full-colour footage in complete darkness — no black-and-white switching at night, ever.
-
AI People & Vehicle Analytics: Search recorded footage rapidly by filtering people by hair length and clothing attributes, or vehicles by colour and type — dramatically reducing investigation time after an incident.
-
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, Area Intrusion, and Camera Tamper Detection — with instant push notifications to the VIGI app.
-
Active Defence: Automatically triggers sound and light alarms when abnormal events are detected — warning and deterring potential intruders in real time without manual intervention.
-
Two-Way Audio: Built-in microphone and speaker allow real-time voice intercom through the camera — useful for deterring intruders or communicating with visitors remotely.
-
IP67 Weatherproof: Fully dust-tight and protected against water jets — suitable for permanent outdoor installation in Australian conditions including rain, coastal humidity, and dust.
-
H.265+ Compression: Reduces storage consumption and network bandwidth by up to 50% compared to H.264 without sacrificing image quality.
-
True WDR, 3D DNR & Smart IR: Advanced video enhancement for challenging lighting conditions including backlit scenes, high-contrast environments, and low-light areas.
-
Local SD Card Storage (up to 256GB): Onboard microSD slot for local recording independent of an NVR — useful for standalone deployments or as a backup recording source.
-
PoE Powered: Connect via a single PoE Ethernet cable for clean, simple installation — data and power over one cable, no separate power adapter required.
-
Flexible Management: Manage via VIGI NVR UI, web browser, VIGI app (iOS & Android), or VIGI Security Manager desktop software.
Lens Options
-
2.8mm: Wide field of view — ideal for covering large areas at close range such as building entrances, car parks, and open outdoor spaces.
-
4mm: Balanced field of view — suitable for driveways, medium-distance outdoor monitoring, and general perimeter surveillance.
-
6mm: Narrower, longer-range view — ideal for monitoring specific points such as gates, laneways, and distant areas where more detail at range is needed.
Common Use Cases
- Commercial property perimeter and car park surveillance requiring 24/7 colour footage
- Retail store exteriors and loading docks with AI analytics for rapid incident investigation
- Building entrances and driveways where vehicle colour and type identification is critical
- Warehouses and industrial sites requiring active deterrence with sound and light alarms
- High-security residential properties where 5MP colour detail improves identification
- Standalone deployments with local 256GB SD card recording (no NVR required)

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the VIGI C350 (bullet) and the VIGI C450 (turret)?
The VIGI C350 is an outdoor bullet-style camera with a longer housing designed for directional wall or eave mounting — the bullet form factor provides a visible deterrent and is ideal for perimeter and long-distance outdoor monitoring. The VIGI C450 is a turret-style camera with a lower-profile housing suited for ceiling or wall mounting in indoor and sheltered outdoor locations. Both share the same 5MP resolution, full-colour night vision, AI analytics, and smart detection features. Choose the C350 for outdoor perimeter surveillance; choose the C450 for indoor or sheltered installations.
Which lens size should I choose?
The 2.8mm lens provides the widest field of view — best for covering large areas at close range such as building entrances, car parks, and open outdoor spaces. The 4mm lens offers a balanced view suitable for driveways, general perimeter monitoring, and medium-distance outdoor areas. The 6mm lens provides a narrower, longer-range view — ideal for monitoring specific points such as gates, laneways, and distant areas where more detail at range is needed. All three variants are priced identically.
What is People & Vehicle Analytics and how does it help?
People & Vehicle Analytics allows you to search recorded footage by specific attributes rather than scrubbing through hours of video. For people, you can filter by hair length and clothing. For vehicles, you can filter by vehicle colour and type. This dramatically reduces the time needed to locate a specific person or vehicle in footage after an incident — a significant advantage for retail loss prevention and commercial security investigations.
Does it work without an NVR?
Yes. The VIGI C350 has an onboard microSD card slot supporting up to 256GB for local recording, allowing it to operate as a standalone camera without an NVR. It can be managed directly via the VIGI app or VIGI Security Manager. For multi-camera installations with centralised recording and AI analytics, a VIGI NVR is recommended.
What NVR is recommended for this camera?
The TP-Link VIGI NVR1008H-8P is ideal for small installations — 8 PoE+ ports, Plug & Play auto-detection of VIGI cameras, and 4K HDMI output. For larger installations requiring AI analytics across multiple cameras, the VIGI NVR2016H (16 channels) or NVR2032H (32 channels) are recommended. Ensure your NVR supports AI analytics to take full advantage of the C350's People & Vehicle Analytics.
