The TP-Link VIGI C420I (2.8MM) is a turret-style indoor security camera with 2MP Full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution designed for ceiling mounting. It provides reliable wired connectivity via Ethernet and supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) to transmit data and power over a single RJ45 cable. With a 2.8 mm lens and a minimum illumination of 0.1 lx, the camera delivers clear images in low-light conditions and offers night vision up to 30 meters for comprehensive indoor monitoring.

Advantages

This model combines 2MP resolution with AI-based Smart Detection to alert on perimeter crossing, area entry, tampering, and object removal or abandonment. Video quality is enhanced by SmartVid technologies including Smart IR, WDR, and 3D DNR to reduce noise and improve visibility in challenging lighting. PoE simplifies installation by removing the need for a separate power adapter. Two lens versions (2 mm and 4 mm) are available to suit different coverage needs, and the camera supports flexible cable routing and ceiling mounting.
