The TP-Link VIGI C250(2.8mm) is a 5MP full-colour dome network camera with a 2.8 mm F1.6 lens (109° horizontal view), a 1/2.7-inch sensor, and one white LED and one IR LED that each reach 30 m. It adds human and vehicle classification, smart event detection, H.265+, a built-in microphone, IP67 and IK10 protection, and PoE (802.3at) or 12 V DC power, and works with the VIGI app, VIGI Security Manager and VIGI NVRs.

VIGI C250(2.8mm) overview

The VIGI C250 is TP-Link's 5MP full-colour dome network camera, and this listing is the 2.8 mm lens version. VIGI says the full-colour camera monitors clear, colourful detail around the clock, even in a pitch-dark night, using its large-aperture lens, high-sensitivity sensor and attached supplemental lights. The sensor is a 1/2.7-inch progressive scan CMOS, and the maximum resolution is 2880 x 1620. The 2.8 mm fixed lens has an F1.6 aperture and a 109° horizontal, 57° vertical and 128° diagonal field of view. Minimum illumination is 0.005 lux, or 0 lux with IR or white light. DORI distances for the 2.8 mm lens are detect 64 m, observe 27 m, recognise 13 m and identify 6 m.

For night-time, the camera has one 850 nm IR LED and one white LED, each with a 30 m range, and illuminator control can be set to auto, scheduled, always on or always off. Day/night switching uses an IR cut filter, with day, night, auto and schedule modes. VIGI's SmartVid video enhancement includes WDR, 3D DNR, Smart IR and night vision, with 120 dB WDR, BLC and HLC listed. Video uses H.265+, H.265, H.264+ or H.264 on the main stream, and VIGI says H.265+ compresses video size without sacrificing quality, easing network load and saving disk space. The main stream runs up to 30 fps (60 Hz) or 25 fps (50 Hz), dropping to 20 fps if the image is rotated 90° or 270°.

Integrated AI chips support algorithms that distinguish humans and vehicles from other objects, so you can customise alarm rules and receive more accurate event notifications; motion detection is enhanced with human and vehicle classification. Smart events include area intrusion, line crossing, people and vehicle detection, region entering and exiting, object abandoned and removed, loitering, abnormal sound and scene change detection, and people and vehicle analytics let you search and filter by attributes for faster post-event search. Alarm linkage covers memory card recording, message push and white light flashing. A built-in microphone records audio around the camera, with environmental noise filtering; there is no speaker.

The dome is built with IK10 vandal resistance and IP67 waterproofing to withstand vandalism and harsh environments with rain and dust. Power is PoE (802.3at, class 0) or 12 V DC, with a maximum consumption of 7 W. It has a 10/100M RJ45 port and a microSD card slot, supports ONVIF (Profile S) and RTSP, and is managed through the VIGI app, VIGI Security Manager, a VIGI NVR or a web browser, with cloud access. A side cable outlet lets you avoid drilling, or route the cable into a dropped ceiling. The camera measures Φ115 x 85.7 mm, weighs 0.28 kg and operates from -30 to 60 °C. ARC IP Networks supplies the VIGI C250(2.8mm) from Australian stock with the full manufacturer's warranty.
