TP-Link EasyCam C420 VIGI 2MP Full-Colour Turret Network Camera

See the Everyday Detail That Matters The TP-Link EasyCam C420 brings Full HD surveillance, LightPro night vision and human and vehicle classification into a compact VIGI turret camera. A built-in microphone adds audio context, while PoE keeps power and network data on one cable. Its compact turret design suits indoor ceilings and walls where a discreet, adjustable camera is useful. Pair it with a suitable recorder and storage to turn a live view into footage that can be reviewed when needed. Highlights A Clearer View of Activity 2MP Full HD video with H.265+ compression. LightPro switches between IR and white-light colour viewing when configured for detected activity. Useful Event Information Human and vehicle classification for supported motion events. Intrusion, line-crossing and region-entry/exit detection with a built-in microphone. A Planned Installation IEEE 802.3af PoE and a wired 10/100Mbps network connection. Choose the fixed lens for the scene; storage and a suitable PoE source are separate. Key Features Put the Field of View First A wider view can cover more of an entrance or room, while a narrower view puts more of the scene’s pixels into a smaller area. The lens choices differ in field of view rather than providing motorised zoom. Plan the mounting height, target distance and lighting together, and use the lens specification in the table to choose the appropriate view. Use LightPro with Intent LightPro can switch from infrared viewing to white-light full-colour imaging when a person or vehicle is detected. This helps retain colour information around relevant activity while reducing the need for continuous white illumination. Night-vision reach is a manufacturer maximum of 30M; reflections, lighting, subject movement and the selected settings affect usable detail. Make Alerts More Relevant Human and vehicle classification helps distinguish supported motion events from other scene movement. Intrusion, line-crossing and region-entry or exit rules can be configured around the area being monitored. Detection is an aid to review, not a guarantee that every event will be identified correctly. This camera does not provide the separate people/vehicle analytics counting functions listed for higher-tier models. Add Audio Context without a Separate Microphone The built-in microphone can capture audio alongside the video when enabled and supported by the recording setup. There is no built-in speaker or two-way talk function on this model. Configure audio and access permissions around the site’s requirements and applicable privacy obligations. Give Recording Its Own Storage Use a compatible VIGI recorder such as the NVR1104H-4P, or another supported recording platform. ONVIF Profiles S/T and RTSP provide integration options, but available events and codec support depend on the receiving platform. This camera has no onboard memory-card storage, so buying a microSD card does not add local recording. Keep the Mounting and Power Correct No IP weatherproof rating is specified for EasyCam C420 in the manufacturer’s datasheet, so plan indoor or suitably protected placement. The accessory matrix lists VJB-240 and VJB-300 for this model, rather than VJB-305. Use a suitable IEEE 802.3af source with enough available power. A PoE switch, injector, recorder, hard drive and optional bracket are separate. Summary The EasyCam C420 suits a straightforward wired surveillance installation that needs Full HD detail, relevant event alerts and audio capture. Choose the view and mounting arrangement first, then pair the camera with suitable PoE and recording storage for a complete system. Frequently Asked Questions Does this camera connect by Wi-Fi?ExpandCollapse No. It uses a wired Ethernet connection and receives power through a suitable IEEE 802.3af PoE source. Which lens should I choose?ExpandCollapse The 2.8mm lens has a wider view, while 4mm has a narrower view of the same scene. They are fixed lenses, not optical zoom. Use the field-of-view figures and target distance to plan placement. Does it record to a microSD card?ExpandCollapse No. The manufacturer specifies no onboard storage. Use a compatible recorder and hard drive or another supported recording platform. Can I speak through the camera?ExpandCollapse No. There is a built-in microphone but no built-in speaker or two-way audio communication function. Can it be installed outdoors?ExpandCollapse The C420 datasheet does not specify an IP weatherproof rating. Use indoor or suitably protected placement rather than assuming it has the C320’s IP67 rating. What else is needed for recording?ExpandCollapse A suitable PoE source and network cabling, plus a compatible recorder or recording platform and its storage. The VIGI NVR1104H-4P is a four-channel PoE recorder option; its hard drive is separate. Baca selengkapnya
