Description
5MP Full-Colour Turret Camera with AI Analytics, Corridor Mode and 24/7 Colour Night Vision
The TP-Link VIGI C450 is a 5MP full-colour turret 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. Beyond standard colour night vision, the C450 adds AI-powered People & Vehicle Analytics for rapid forensic search, Corridor Mode for portrait-orientation monitoring, two-way audio, active defence, and local SD card storage up to 256GB. It's the most feature-rich camera in the VIGI C4x0 turret range — ideal for commercial CCTV installations, retail environments, and high-security residential properties across Australia.
Key Features
-
5MP Super-High Definition: Captures detailed 5MP (2880×1620) footage — sharper than 4MP and significantly clearer than 1080p — for reliable identification of faces, clothing, licence plates, and fine details.
-
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 gender, 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.
-
Corridor Mode: Rotates the image from 16:9 landscape to 9:16 portrait orientation — ideal for monitoring hallways, stairwells, retail aisles, and other long, narrow spaces.
-
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.
-
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 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.
-
Flexible Management: Manage via VIGI NVR UI, web browser, VIGI app (iOS & Android), or VIGI Security Manager desktop software — supporting both local and remote monitoring.
Common Use Cases
- Retail stores and shopping centres requiring 24/7 colour footage and rapid incident search via AI analytics
- Car parks and driveways where vehicle colour and type identification is critical
- Hallways, stairwells, and retail aisles monitored in portrait orientation via Corridor Mode
- Commercial properties 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 C450 and the VIGI C440?
The C450 is the premium model with 5MP resolution (vs 4MP on the C440), AI People & Vehicle Analytics for forensic search by attributes (gender, clothing, vehicle colour/type), and a larger 256GB SD card capacity (vs unspecified on the C440). Both offer 24/7 full-colour night vision, smart detection, active defence, two-way audio, and Corridor Mode. Choose the C450 for commercial installations where post-incident investigation speed and higher resolution are priorities.
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 gender, hair length, and clothing colour/type. 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 the C450 work without an NVR?
Yes. The VIGI C450 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, playback, and AI analytics, a VIGI NVR is recommended.
What is the difference between the 2.8mm and 4mm lens variants?
The 2.8mm lens (this model) provides a wider field of view — ideal for covering large areas at close to medium range such as car parks, open rooms, and building entrances. The 4mm lens provides a slightly narrower, longer-range view better suited for driveways, corridors, and medium-distance monitoring where more detail at distance is needed.
Is it suitable for outdoor installation?
Yes. The VIGI C450 is rated for outdoor use. For permanent outdoor installation in Australian conditions, mount in a sheltered position where possible to protect the spotlight LEDs and maximise longevity. Check the product's IP rating for specific weatherproofing details.
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 features to take full advantage of the C450's People & Vehicle Analytics.
