TP-Link VIGI C450 (2.8 mm) — 5MP Full-Colour Turret with People & Vehicle Analytics

The VIGI C450 sits a step above the 4MP turrets in TP-Link's professional line, pairing a 5MP (2880×1620) sensor with 24/7 full-colour night vision from built-in spotlight LEDs. The extra resolution buys you real identification detail, and the analytics engine makes it searchable: the camera logs attributes like gender, hair, clothing and vehicle colour or type, so finding "the person in the red jacket" takes minutes, not hours. Active Defence adds a sound-and-light alarm, two-way audio lets you speak through the camera, and Corridor Mode rotates the view to portrait for long narrow spaces. Power over PoE or 12V DC, recording to microSD (up to 256GB) or a VIGI NVR.

Core Technology

• 5MP full-colour, day and night — 2880×1620 resolution with spotlight LEDs keeps colour detail in the footage around the clock — the detail that actually identifies people and vehicles.
• People and vehicle analytics — Beyond simple classification, the camera records attributes such as gender, hair, clothing and vehicle colour or type, making recorded footage genuinely searchable.
• Active Defence with two-way audio — A sound and light alarm triggers on detection events, and the mic and speaker let you challenge or greet whoever is there from the app.
• Wide 2.8 mm coverage — The wide lens takes in a whole room, porch or shopfloor from one mounting point, with the 5MP sensor holding detail across the frame.
• Corridor Mode — Flips the image from 16:9 to 9:16 portrait so hallways and aisles are framed properly instead of being a thin strip across the picture.
• True WDR and clean compression — True WDR, 3D DNR and Smart IR keep difficult lighting under control, while H.265+ trims storage and bandwidth without visible quality loss.

Where It Fits

Our pick where identification detail matters — shopfronts, receptions, entries and family homes that want colour footage at night. Choose the 4 mm C450 for longer approaches, or the C440 if 4MP is enough for the budget.
