TP-Link VIGI C540-4G 4MP Outdoor Full-Color 4G Pan Tilt Network Camera

TP-Link VIGI 4MP Outdoor Full-Color 4G Pan Tilt Network Camera (VIGI C540-4G) - 2 Years Local Warranty

The VIGI C540-4G is an IP66 outdoor pan-and-tilt camera with a built-in LTE Cat 4 modem and a nano-SIM slot, so a site with no broadband and no structured cabling can still be watched. It records 2560x1440, sweeps 348 degrees of pan and 120 degrees of tilt, and holds up to 512 GB of footage on a microSD card when the mobile link is down.

Built-In 4G LTE on a Nano-SIM

The modem is LTE Cat 4, supporting LTE-FDD, LTE-TDD and WCDMA at up to 150 Mbps down and 50 Mbps up, on LTE-FDD bands 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 20 and 28, LTE-TDD bands 38, 40 and 41, and WCDMA bands 1, 5 and 8. Two dipole omni-directional antennas cover 690 to 960 MHz and 1710 to 2690 MHz. The SIM format is nano-SIM, and the SIM is not included; check the bands above against your Singapore operator's plan before ordering.

4MP Recording With H.265+ Encoding

Maximum resolution is 2560x1440, with the main stream also offering 2304x1296, 2048x1280, 1920x1080 and 1280x720 at up to 25 fps on 50 Hz or 30 fps on 60 Hz. Main-stream encoding is H.265+, H.265, H.264+ or H.264 at 256 Kbps to 3 Mbps; the sub-stream runs H.265 or H.264 at 64 to 512 Kbps in 736x416, 640x480, 640x360, 352x288 or 320x240. TP-Link notes that if image rotation is set to 90 or 270 degrees the frame rate is capped at 20 fps. Keeping the main stream near the lower end of its bit-rate range matters on a metered mobile plan.

Smart Detection With On-Camera Classification

Smart events cover intrusion, line crossing, region entering, region exiting, object abandoned, object removal, abnormal sound detection, people detection and vehicle detection. Basic events cover motion detection with human and vehicle classification for more accurate alerts, video tampering and illegal-login exception. Linkages are microSD recording, push message, audible warning and white light flashing, so a remote site can raise an alarm on its own without a recorder on the network.

Full-Colour Night Vision to 30 Metres

Two 850 nm IR LEDs and two white LEDs both reach 30 m, controlled automatically, on a schedule, always on or always off. Minimum illumination is 0.005 lux, or 0 lux with the IR or white light active. The fixed 4 mm F1.6 lens gives an 80 degree horizontal, 43 degree vertical and 94 degree diagonal field of view, with DORI distances published as detect 80 m, observe 33 m, recognise 16 m and identify 8 m. The head pans 0 to 348 degrees and tilts 0 to 120 degrees at 8 to 44 degrees per second, with 300 presets and eight patrol routes.

Mains Powered, IP66 Housing, 512 GB On Board

The camera runs from a 12 V DC 1 A supply through a 5.5 mm coaxial plug and the adapter is included. The microSD slot takes a card up to 512 GB, the largest in the C540 family, which is what makes standalone operation practical at a site with no recorder. A 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port is fitted for commissioning or for use on a fixed line. The housing is plastic, rated IP66 and specified for -30 to 60 degrees C.

Ideal For

Singapore construction sites, temporary compounds, remote yards, car parks and plant rooms with power but no broadband, and any position where a fixed line would take weeks to provision. Supplied by SourceIT with local Singapore warranty, GST invoice and project pricing on request.

TP-Link publishes no Wi-Fi or wireless LAN specification of any kind for this model: it connects over 4G LTE or the wired Ethernet port, not Wi-Fi. For a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi camera in the same family choose the VIGI C540-W.
