TP-Link VIGI C230I Mini (2.8 mm) — 3MP IR Mini Dome for Tight Spaces

The VIGI C230I Mini is the camera you reach for when there is nowhere to put a full-size dome. Its compact housing tucks into lift cars, corridors, stairwells, small storerooms and above convenience-store counters, while the 2.8 mm lens pulls in a wide view so one unit covers the whole space. Behind the lens sits a 3MP sensor from TP-Link's professional VIGI line, backed by on-camera analytics that sort people and vehicles from everything else. Smart IR, WDR and 3D DNR keep the image usable in mixed lighting and after dark, and H.265+ compression keeps recorder storage and network load down. A vandal-resistant dome encasing means it shrugs off knocks in public-facing positions.

Core Technology

• 3MP resolution in a mini body — Enough pixel density to read faces and detail at short indoor ranges, packed into a housing sized for lifts, corridors and cramped ceilings.
• 2.8 mm ultra-wide lens — A wide field of view lets a single camera take in an enclosed room, checkout area or landing without blind corners.
• Human and vehicle classification — The camera distinguishes people and vehicles from other movement, so alerts point at events that actually matter rather than every passing shadow.
• Smart Detection suite — Line-crossing, area intrusion, camera tampering and object removal or abandonment detection trigger notifications the moment a rule is breached.
• Corridor Mode — Flips the image from 16:9 to 9:16 so long, narrow spaces like hallways and aisles fill the frame instead of wasting it on walls.
• IK08 vandal-resistant dome with Smart IR and WDR — The toughened encasing handles knocks at ATMs and checkouts, while Smart IR, WDR and 3D DNR keep night and backlit footage clean. H.265+ keeps file sizes lean.

Where It Fits

Best pick where space is tight and the view is wide — lifts, corridors, small shops, stairwells and checkout counters. If you need an outdoor-rated dome or a longer lens for open areas, step up to the full-size C230I instead.
