TP-Link VIGI C400HP-2.8 — 3MP Turret Network Camera with Smart Detection

The VIGI C400HP-2.8 is a straightforward, dependable turret from TP-Link's professional VIGI line, built for the jobs most sites actually have: watching a doorway, a hallway or a small yard and flagging movement that matters. Its 3MP sensor records at half again the pixel count of a standard 1080p camera, which is the difference between seeing that someone was there and seeing who it was. The 2.8 mm lens gives a wide field of view, so a single unit takes in an enclosed space or entry area without leaving blind corners. Smart Detection handles the watching for you, night vision with Smart IR keeps the image usable after dark, and flexible PoE or 12V DC power keeps the install simple.

Core Technology

• 3MP resolution — A step up from 1080p in pixel density, giving cleaner detail on faces and movement at the short-to-medium ranges a turret like this is aimed at.
• Wide 2.8 mm lens — The wide angle suits enclosed rooms, entries and hallways, letting one camera cover the whole space rather than a narrow slice of it.
• Smart Detection — On-camera detection watches the scene for events and raises alerts, so you review moments that matter instead of scrubbing hours of footage.
• Night vision with Smart IR — Infrared illumination covers the scene after dark, and Smart IR adjusts the output so nearby subjects are not washed out into a white blur.
• WDR and 3D noise reduction — WDR balances harsh contrast — a bright doorway against a dim interior — while noise reduction cleans up low-light frames for clearer, smaller recordings.
• PoE or 12V DC power — Run one network cable for both power and data from a PoE switch or recorder, or use a local 12V DC supply where cabling is already in place.

Where It Fits

A sensible budget choice for entries, hallways and small indoor or sheltered areas where wide coverage matters more than long reach. If you need the narrower, longer view for a corridor or approach, pick the 4 mm C400HP-4 instead.
