- 3MP Super-High Definition: The VIGI C230I Mini camera comes with 3MP—more than enough pixels to pick up some of the more discrete details.
- Human & Vehicle Classification: Distinguishes humans and vehicles from other objects, so you receive more accurate event notifications.
- Smart Detection: Receive notifications and check feeds when someone crosses a boundary, enters an area you’ve set, obstructs the camera, or removes/abandons objects.
- Small but compact with wide views: With a small, compact form factor and a 2.8 mm ultra-wide angle lens, the VIGI C230I Mini camera is ideal for corridors, elevators, small warehouses, and convenience stores, where space is limited and a wide view is required.
- IK08 Vandal-Proof: Equipped with a vandal-proof dome encasing, the VIGI dome camera withstands damage and provides more reliable security protection in important scenarios, such as ATMs, corridors, and checkout counters.
- H.265+: Without using any extra bandwidth, your cameras transmit compressed crystal-clear video to save disk space, ease network loads, and reduce monitoring costs without sacrificing image quality.
- Smart Video Enhancement: VIGI’s professional technologies process videos to greatly improve their quality that is vital to your monitoring, including Smart IR, WDR, 3D DNR, and Night Vision.
- Corridor Mode: Allows you to change the image aspect ratio from 16:9 to 9:16, and helps to monitor long and narrow areas.
- Flexible Management: Take full control over your security via four management methods: the web UI, NVR UI, VIGI app, and VIGI Security Manager.
