User Manual
FAQ
What is the maximum video resolution of the VIGI C340 camera?
The VIGI C340 captures video at up to 2560 x 1440 resolution, which represents 4 megapixels of imaging detail. This resolution provides significantly clearer images than standard 1080p cameras, allowing for better identification of subjects and details in surveillance footage. The camera maintains this resolution at 30 frames per second for smooth video playback.
How does the night vision system work on this camera?
The camera features dual infrared and color night vision that extends up to 98.43 feet (30 meters). During low-light conditions, infrared LEDs activate to provide monochrome imaging, while in moderately lit conditions, the camera can maintain color video. This dual approach ensures optimal visibility across varying lighting scenarios for comprehensive 24/7 surveillance coverage.
What power options are available for this network camera?
The VIGI C340 supports both Power over Ethernet (PoE) and traditional 12V DC power inputs. PoE capability allows installation with a single Ethernet cable that carries both data and power, simplifying deployment and reducing wiring complexity. The 12V DC option provides flexibility for installations where PoE switches or injectors are not available.
Is this camera suitable for outdoor installation in harsh weather?
Yes, the camera carries an IP66 ingress protection rating, making it completely dust-tight and protected against powerful water jets from any direction. This rating, combined with its operating temperature range of -22°F to 140°F (-30°C to 60°C), ensures reliable performance in demanding outdoor environments including rain, snow, and extreme temperature conditions.
What video compression formats does the camera support?
The camera supports multiple advanced compression formats including H.265+, H.265, H.264+, and H.264. H.265+ represents the most efficient compression available, reducing bandwidth and storage requirements by approximately 50% compared to standard H.264 while maintaining video quality. This efficiency is particularly valuable for multi-camera installations with limited network bandwidth or storage capacity.
What intelligent detection features are included with this camera?
The VIGI C340 includes comprehensive detection capabilities such as human detection (which distinguishes people from other moving objects), motion detection, cross line detection (triggering alerts when subjects cross virtual boundaries), and tamper detection (alerting when the camera is obstructed or moved). These features reduce false alarms and focus attention on genuine security events while providing configurable alert zones for precise monitoring.
What storage is included?
The system includes Memory Card of storage for applications, files, and everyday business data.
