TP-Link VIGI C540-W 4MP Outdoor Full-Color Wi-Fi Pan Tilt Network Camera

TP-Link VIGI 4MP Outdoor Full-Color Wi-Fi Pan Tilt Network Camera (VIGI C540-W) - 3 Years Local Warranty

The VIGI C540-W is the wireless version of TP-Link's IP66 outdoor pan-and-tilt camera. It records 2560x1440 at up to 30 fps, sweeps 350 degrees of pan and 120 degrees of tilt, and joins a 2.4 GHz network over 802.11b/g/n on two 2 dBi antennas, so a gate, yard or car park can be covered where pulling a network cable is impractical.

4MP Recording With H.265+ Encoding

Maximum resolution is 2560x1440, with the main stream also offering 2304x1296, 2048x1280 and 1920x1080 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 4 Mbps; the sub-stream runs H.265 or H.264 at 64 to 512 Kbps in 640x480, 352x288 or 320x240. The 1/3 inch progressive scan CMOS sensor is rated at 52 dB SNR or better, with DWDR, BLC, 3D DNR, HLC and SmartIR processing.

2.4 GHz Wi-Fi With a Wired Fallback

Wireless is IEEE 802.11b/g/n on 2.4 GHz at up to 150 Mbps, secured with WPA or WPA2-PSK, using two welded dipole omni-directional antennas of 2.0 dBi gain in AP or AP client mode with 20 and 40 MHz channel widths. A single RJ-45 10/100 Mbps self-adaptive Ethernet port is also fitted, so the camera can be commissioned or run on a cable if the wireless path is poor.

350 Degree Pan, 120 Degree Tilt and 300 Presets

The motorised head pans 0 to 350 degrees and tilts 0 to 120 degrees, at a configurable 1 to 55 degrees per second horizontally and 1 to 40 degrees per second vertically. Up to 300 presets are stored, with eight patrol routes of up to eight presets each, park actions, 3D positioning and power-off memory that restores the previous position after an outage. Manual angle adjustment covers 0 to 348 degrees of pan and 0 to 120 degrees of tilt.

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, so you choose between discreet infrared and full-colour evidence. Minimum illumination is 0 lux with the IR or white light active. The fixed 4 mm F1.6 lens gives a 79 degree horizontal, 43 degree vertical and 93 degree diagonal field of view, with DORI distances published as detect 80 m, observe 33 m, recognise 16 m and identify 8 m.

Mains Powered, With On-Board microSD Storage

The camera runs from 12 V DC through a 5.5 mm coaxial plug at up to 15.5 W, and the power adapter is included in the box. The built-in slot takes a microSD card up to 256 GB so recording continues if the wireless link drops, and the built-in microphone and speaker give two-way audio within a 5 m radius. The housing is plastic, rated IP66 and specified for -30 to 60 degrees C.

Ideal For

Singapore side gates, back lanes, car parks, worksites and landed-property perimeters where there is a power point but no structured cabling, and anywhere a single camera should sweep a wide area rather than several fixed ones. Supplied by SourceIT with local Singapore warranty, GST invoice and project pricing on request.

TP-Link publishes no PoE standard, class or wattage for this model anywhere in its specifications, so this camera needs a 12 V DC outlet at the mounting point. If the position has network cabling but no power, the wired VIGI C540 takes PoE instead.
