The TP-Link VIGI C385 is an 8 MP (3840 × 2160) outdoor full-colour bullet network camera built for reliable, round-the-clock surveillance. A fast F1.6 fixed lens, dual IR and white LEDs (up to 30 m), and 120 dB WDR deliver clear detail in mixed or low light. AI human/vehicle classification, active deterrence lights, and two-way audio help you detect, talk back, and deter in real time. Metal IP67 housing, PoE/12 V DC power options, ONVIF support, and onboard microSD recording (up to 512 GB) make deployment simple and flexible.

4K Ultra HD & 24/7 Full-Colour: Record at 8 MP (3840 × 2160) for forensic-level detail. A bright F1.6 lens plus dual IR and warm white LEDs illuminate scenes up to 30 m to keep colour visible at night, while a minimum illumination of 0.005 lux helps retain clarity when light is scarce. Ideal for entrances, car parks, and wide outdoor areas.
-
Human & Vehicle Classification: On-camera AI distinguishes people and vehicles from general motion to reduce false alarms from wind, rain, or foliage. Combine with rules like line-crossing, intrusion, region enter/exit, loitering, abandoned/object removal, and more to trigger timely push messages, local recording, white-light flashing, or audible warnings.
-
Active Defense & Two-Way Audio: Built-in speaker and microphone enable talk-back for real-time interaction with visitors or intruders. Configure light and sound alarms to automatically deter events, or trigger them on demand from the VIGI app, VIGI Security Manager, NVR, or web interface for fast, visible response.
-
Smart Video Enhancement (WDR, 3D DNR, BLC/HLC, Smart IR): 120 dB wide dynamic range balances highlights and shadows in high-contrast scenes, while advanced noise reduction preserves detail in low light. Backlight/Highlight compensation, privacy masks, ROI, and Smart IR help prevent overexposure and fine-tune image quality for each installation.

Lens Options & DORI Performance: Choose 2.8 mm (H: 111.4°, V: 58.8°, D: 134°) for wide coverage or 4 mm (H: 91.5°, V: 46.1°, D: 109.6°) for tighter scenes. DORI at 4 mm: Detect 107 m, Observe 44 m, Recognize 21 m, Identify 11 m; at 2.8 mm: Detect 85 m, Observe 35 m, Recognize 17 m, Identify 8 m—useful for planning camera placement and coverage.
-
Efficient Compression & Storage: Supports H.265/H.265+ and H.264/H.264+ with CBR/VBR to cut bandwidth and storage while maintaining image fidelity. Record locally to the built-in microSD slot (up to 512 GB) or to a VIGI NVR/VMS. Adjustable bit rates and dual streams simplify multi-camera deployments on constrained networks.
-
Weatherproof, Power & Build: A metal IP67 housing resists dust, rain, and heat for dependable outdoor operation from −30 °C to 60 °C. Power via 802.3af/at PoE (max 11.5 W) or 12 V DC (max 10.5 W). Compact 74 × 184 × 74 mm body with flexible mounting and manual pan/tilt/rotation eases installation and aiming.
-
Integration & Management: Works with the VIGI app, VIGI Security Manager, VIGI NVR, and third-party systems via ONVIF Profile S. Manage settings from modern browsers, enable cloud access, and use analytics search (people & vehicle attributes) to speed post-event investigations across larger sites.
