VIGI 5MP turret camera
The TP-Link VIGI C455 is a 5MP (2880×1620) outdoor turret camera from TP-Link's VIGI range, built on a 1/2.7” Progressive Scan CMOS sensor with a 2.8/4 mm fixed lens. At night, IR night vision reaches 30 m, switching to full-colour video when people or vehicles are detected or staying in discreet black-and-white IR.
On-camera AI with People & Vehicle Analytics filters out false alarms from animals, leaves and headlights and runs intrusion, line-crossing, region entering, region exiting, object abandoned, object removal detection. A built-in microphone and speaker give two-way audio and sound and light alarm deterrence. It runs on a single PoE cable (802.3af/at, max 12 W) or 12 V DC, records to a microSD card up to 512 GB, and is IP67 rated for -30 to 60 °C. Use it with a VIGI NVR, the free VIGI App or VIGI VMS — backed by a 3-year Australian warranty.
Do I need a VIGI NVR?No — it records to a microSD card (up to 512 GB) and streams to the free VIGI App on its own. Add a VIGI NVR such as the
VIGI NVR2008H-8MP for continuous hard-drive recording, multi-camera playback and fast AI search.
Will it work with a non-TP-Link NVR?
It supports ONVIF (Profile S) and RTSP, so it can stream to most ONVIF NVRs and VMS software. Advanced AI events and analytics are best supported on VIGI NVRs and VIGI VMS.
How far can it see at night?
IR up to 30 m. You can choose IR (black-and-white), full-colour, or smart mode where white light switches on only when a person or vehicle is detected.
Which lens should I choose?
2.8 mm gives a 111.4° horizontal view; 4 mm gives a 88° horizontal view. Choose the wider lens for driveways, shopfronts and rooms; choose the longer lens to see more detail further away, such as gates or car parks.
Is it suitable for outdoor use in Australia?
Yes. It is IP67 rated and operates from -30 to 60 °C, so it handles heat, dust and heavy rain.
How do I power it?Use a PoE switch or PoE NVR — one Cat6 cable carries power and data (802.3af/at, max 12 W). A 12 V DC input is also provided. Our
DS105GP PoE switch suits small systems.
Can I view it on my phone?
Yes. The free VIGI App (iOS and Android) gives live view, playback, push notifications and two-way talk where supported. VIGI Cloud VMS and the VIGI PC client are also free.
Will it reduce false alarms?
Yes. Human and vehicle classification ignores animals, moving trees and lighting changes, so alerts focus on real events, and People & Vehicle Analytics lets you search footage by attributes like clothing colour or vehicle type.
Can I talk through the camera?
Yes. The built-in microphone and speaker let you listen and speak through the VIGI App, and trigger a sound and light alarm to deter intruders.
InSight or VIGI C-Series — what is the difference?
VIGI C-Series is TP-Link’s core camera range; InSight models add premium sensors and advanced analytics. Both use the same VIGI App, NVRs and VMS.
