TP-LINK VIGI PoE Powered Cameras

Versatile cameras: solidly built, feature rich – and a great price point!

As a longtime player in the surveillance space, TP-Link VIGI offers some of the best value security cameras around. VIGI designs all cameras based on the 4E design principle of Easy Deployment, Easy Installation, Easy Setup, Easy Maintenance.

Part of TP-Link VIGI’s holistic surveillance ecosystem, each camera is equipped with a variety of features designed to meet different scenarios and locations. From wired, PoE and Wi-Fi cameras to 4G and battery-powered devices, your imagination is the limit with a VIGI surveillance camera.

Who is it for:

TP-Link VIGI’s diverse range of cameras present with differing functionalities to suit the unique requirements of your home, office or property, such as static or PTZ lenses, night vision, turret, dome and bullet styles, and a range of megapixel options. The type of camera will depend on your goals and can be further refined based on the following key questions:

How will I power my cameras?

All cameras in the VIGI line up offer traditional mains power supply. For a two-in-one power and internet solution, VIGI’s broad range of PoE powered cameras are the pick.

If you are looking for a cost-efficient or wire-free solution, consider a battery/solar powered VIGI camera. VIGI has developed several high-efficiency solar panels with built-in lithium batteries that can supply power to your VIGI devices, even in complex, remote or outdoor scenarios.

Will I connect through Ethernet or go wireless?

VIGI offer a range of wireless cameras with excellent antennas, ensuring you have uninterrupted Wi-Fi wherever you are. PoE is a convenient option delivering both power and data in one cable, which simultaneously guarantees stable connection and tidies up your wiring. Opt for a 4G cellular camera if you are unable to connect Wi-Fi or PoE cables in your specific instance.

How will I store the footage?

VIGI cameras are capable of continuous recording and are offered with two storage options: on-device storage, a cheap and easy option that uses a micro-SD card or VIGI NVR, a more involved but resilient solution that reduces the risk of data loss.

What do I need for my environment?

The environment will dictate the shape, robustness and specifications of the camera. This is where it is easy to get stuck in the weeds. For instance, does your surveillance position require a camera with a dome, turret or bullet shape? Fixed lens or pan, tilt, zoom? Is the device going to be situated indoors or do you need a weatherproof outdoor camera? What range are you looking for and how much clarity in the feed?

A member of our team can help you design each element from the ground up for new installations or suggest options for a one-off camera purchase or replacement.

Highlights:

Smart Detection: Configurable motion detection rather than fixed surveillance, which saves power and data.

Alerts and live feeds: Receive real-time notifications when someone crosses a boundary or obstructs the camera and observe feeds remotely.

Optimise surveillance view: Choose from multiple lens options: fixed, pan and tilt or extra zoom for the optimal view in each location.

Clearer video: High-definition megapixels reduce distortion, ensuring every detail is captured.

Night Vision: Capture visuals even in low light conditions

Two-way Audio: Options for two-way conversations through intercom, designed to work with an NVR, but can also have MicroSD storage fitted in.

Flexible Powering: VIGI cameras support 12V DC or PoE (802.3af/at, class 0). Wireless are typically plugged into mains using the power cable, PoE using an NVR or a PoE injector. Also check out the Solar option for a cheap, sustainable surveillance solution.

Interoperability with Third-Party Security Systems: VIGI cameras support ONVIF protocol and can be integrated with other ONVIF-compliant devices and security systems.

Seamless, remote playback: View recordings via the TP-Link VIGI app or web browser on device or in real time on a screen through your NVR.

Advanced AI & Imaging Technology: The entire series of VIGI cameras integrates powerful AI and imaging capabilities for improved safety, proactive monitoring, and quicker incident response.

Universal metal bracket: Adjust angles manually (pan 0°-360°, tilt 0°-90°, rotate 0°-360°) for enhanced installation flexibility, with added reliability from metal materials.
