tp-link VIGI C485 8MP Full-Colour Speaker / Mic / Light Turret Network Camera

SKU: VIGI C485
Description

The TP-Link VIGI C485 is an 8MP (4K) full-colour turret camera that records in true colour day and night. Its turret housing aims neatly under an eave or on a ceiling and resists glare, while 4K resolution captures faces, plates and fine detail you can zoom into later. White LEDs hold full colour to about 30 metres after dark, with infrared on hand for a discreet view. Human and vehicle AI, two-way audio and an active-deterrence light and siren mean it can warn someone off, not just record them. It runs over one PoE cable or 12 V DC behind an IP67 metal body.

§ 01Overview

What the VIGI C485 is

The TP-Link VIGI C485 is an 8MP outdoor turret camera that keeps recording in true colour around the clock.

At 4K (3840 × 2160) it captures the kind of detail that makes faces, clothing and number plates usable as evidence, and its turret shape mounts cleanly under an eave or on a ceiling while resisting the glare a bullet camera can catch from its own light.

Through the night it holds full colour using a high-sensitivity sensor and built-in white LEDs to about 30 metres, and it can switch to 850 nm infrared, also to 30 metres, when you want a discreet black-and-white view.

Human and vehicle classification filters out animals, foliage and shadows so you are alerted to people and cars, the built-in microphone and speaker give you two-way audio, and the camera can flash its white light and sound an alarm to actively deter an intruder.

Smart events such as line-crossing, intrusion and loitering let you set precise rules.

It comes in a 2.8 mm or 4 mm lens, sits behind an IP67 metal housing for Australian weather, and records efficiently with H.265+ to a VIGI NVR or a microSD card of up to 512 GB.

One PoE cable carries power and data, or use 12 V DC.

If you want TP-Link's latest analytics in the same 8MP turret shape, the InSight S485 is the newer model with advanced people and vehicle search; the C485 covers the same core job at a sharper price.

It is genuine stock with a local 3-year warranty and support.

8MP Ultra HD

8MP (4K) resolution captures four times the detail of 1080p.
Even when a person or car is far down the driveway, you can zoom in and still recognise a face or read a number plate — detail that lower-resolution cameras lose.
30m IR Night Vision — Built-in infrared lets the camera see in complete darkness up to around 30m — enough ... (1/2)
30m IR Night Vision — Built-in infrared lets the camera see in complete darkness up to around 30m — enough ... (2/2)

30m IR Night Vision

Built-in infrared lets the camera see in complete darkness up to around 30m — enough for a typical driveway, front yard or entrance. People and vehicles stay clear in black-and-white, brighter the closer they are.
Dual-Light Night Vision — Combines infrared with a warm spotlight so it can light a scene in colour at nigh...

Dual-Light Night Vision

Combines infrared with a warm spotlight so it can light a scene in colour at night rather than relying on black-and-white alone — clearer, more useful footage when there's something to see.
Full Color Night Vision — Unlike plain black-and-white night vision, this camera can capture colour after d...

Full Color Night Vision

Unlike plain black-and-white night vision, this camera can capture colour after dark — so you can pick out the actual colour of a car, a jacket or a bag, detail that grey infrared footage loses.
False Alarm Reduction — Filtering helps separate real activity from harmless movement like rain, leaves or ...

False Alarm Reduction

Filtering helps separate real activity from harmless movement like rain, leaves or pets, so you get fewer pointless notifications and the alerts that matter stand out.
Human/Vehicle Detection — Smart detection focuses on people and vehicles and can ignore things like swaying...

Human/Vehicle Detection

Smart detection focuses on people and vehicles and can ignore things like swaying branches, rain or small animals — helping cut down false alerts and making the right moments easier to find.

IP67 Weatherproof

Sealed against dust and water to IP67, built to keep working through rain, storms and harsh sun — suitable for fully outdoor mounting.

Two-Way Audio

Talk and listen in real time through the app — tell a courier where to leave a parcel, or speak to someone at the gate, whether you're home or away.

§ 04Why choose this

Built for the way you actually use the VIGI C485

Evidence-grade 4K detail

8MP resolution captures faces and plates clearly and lets you zoom into recorded footage without losing usable detail.

Colour all night

White LEDs hold full colour to about 30 m, with infrared on hand for a discreet 30 m black-and-white view.

It warns, not just records

Two-way audio plus a deterrence light and siren let you speak to or scare off an intruder live.

Tidy, glare-resistant fit

The turret housing aims easily under an eave or ceiling and resists glare from its own night lighting.

§ 05Where it fits

Right at home in these scenarios

Home perimeters

Cover a yard, driveway or back garden in 4K colour day and night, with people and vehicle alerts.

Retail and hospitality

Watch entries, tills and service areas with detail sharp enough to act on, plus talk-down audio.

Offices and car parks

Vehicle classification and high resolution make it easy to log activity at entrances and bays.

Sites needing deterrence

Active light and siren help warn off opportunistic intruders at gates, yards and storage areas.

§ 06Setup

Installation & setup

01

What's in the box

One VIGI C485 turret camera with mounting accessories, waterproof cable attachments and a quick start guide. An NVR, PoE switch or power supply, network cable and any microSD card are supplied separately.

02

Installation requirements

Fit it to a wall or ceiling aimed across the area, run one network cable to a PoE switch or VIGI NVR (or use 12 V DC), and activate it in the VIGI app or Security Manager. Set the lens, night mode, AI rules and deterrence schedule, then test the view before relying on it.

§ 07Questions

Frequently asked about the VIGI C485

Q.01

Does the VIGI C485 record in colour at night?
Yes. It keeps full colour in low light using a high-sensitivity sensor and built-in white LEDs to around 30 metres, and it can switch to 850 nm infrared, also to 30 metres, for a discreet black-and-white view. You set the mode or let it switch automatically.
Q.02

What is the difference between the C485 and the InSight S485?
Both are 8MP 4K full-colour turret cameras with the same core hardware — two-way audio, active deterrence, IP67 and H.265+. The InSight S485 is the newer model and adds advanced people and vehicle analytics for attribute-based search. The C485 covers the same everyday monitoring at a sharper price.
Q.03

Does it have two-way audio and active deterrence?
Yes. A built-in microphone and speaker let you listen and speak through the camera, and on a detected person or vehicle it can flash its white light and sound an audible alarm to warn the intruder off while sending you a push notification.
Q.04

Which lens should I choose?
The 2.8 mm lens gives a wide 111.4° view for open areas like yards and shopfronts. The 4 mm lens is tighter at 91.5° and reaches further, detecting to 107 metres, which suits driveways, entrances and longer approaches.
Q.05

How is it powered?
Over a single network cable using PoE (802.3af/at), so one run carries power and data, or from a 12 V DC supply. PoE is the usual choice with a VIGI NVR, which supplies power on each built-in port.
Q.06

Will it work with my existing Hikvision or Dahua NVR?
Yes, as long as that recorder supports ONVIF. The C485 supports ONVIF (Profile S/T/G) and RTSP, so it can be added to many third-party NVRs and software. For the full smart-event and management experience, pair it with a TP-Link VIGI NVR.
Q.07

Is it suitable for outdoor use in Australia?
Yes. It has an IP67-rated metal housing and a wide operating temperature range for rain, dust, heat and sun. It is genuine stock supplied with a local 3-year warranty and support.
