VIGI products, including cameras, NVRs, solar panels, VIGI VMS, etc., are tailored for various scenarios such as retail, hotels, schools, restaurants, offices, etc.

VIGI Devices
VIGI’s three main types of products, VIGI Camera, VIGI NVR, and VIGI Solar Panel, forms an all-round surveillance network.
- VIGI Camera
VIGI offers a variety of camera products, including dome cameras, turrent cameras, bullet cameras and PT cameras. Many models come with different lenses, which can meet the needs of different scenarios. Let’s see some examples: the VIGI Insight series stands out with its advanced AI features, such as people count, facial recognition, and human & vehicle classification; the VIGI Aurora series features the VIGI ColorPro technology, which excels in capturing vivid colors and clear videos even in ultra-low-light conditions.

- VIGI NVR
VIGI NVR is a device that integrates video management, storage and decoding. Cameras added to the NVR can be centrally managed, and the NVR will save the videos recorded by the added cameras. VIGI NVR supports simultaneous recording and playback from multiple channels. In order to simplify cabling, some NVRs also support PoE power supply directly to cameras. For more product details, go to VIGI NVR.
- VIGI Solar Panel
VIGI solar power products offer flexible choices of cameras and network devices to simplify installation, and users can remotely monitor and manage devices through the VIGI App or VIGI VMS. VIGI’s solar system controllers and grade-A monocrystalline silicon solar panels ensures higher charging and conversion efficiency. For more product details, go to VIGI Solar Panel System.
VIGI App
VIGI App provides a convenient access to VIGI devices and VIGI VMS. With VIGI App installed on your Android/iOS phone or pad, you can access and manage VIGI devices easily.
VIGI App supports both local management and cloud management. Even without logging into the App via the TP-Link ID, you can manage VIGI devices connected to the same network with your phone/pad; after binding a TP-Link ID, you can remotely access and manage VIGI devices through the cloud.
VIGI VMS
VIGI VMS is a security system designed for centralized management, which consists of two parts: the Server and the PC Client. Currently, both Local VMS and Cloud VMS are available.
On the Server side, Local VMS needs to be installed on a Windows platform, and is usually used in an internal network. In an environment where the users have no demand for the connection to the external network, it is recommended to use Local VMS for unified device management. In addition, Local VMS also supports cloud account binding, allowing users to log in and manage from the cloud. It should be noted that once an account is bound, all VIGI devices will be disconnected from TP-Link Cloud and completely managed by Local VMS.
Cloud VMS is a cloud-based management system that does not require local front-end deployment, VPN or IT maintenance, and thus more sites and devices can be added without restrictions. Cloud VMS can manage surveillance devices at multiple sites, centrally and remotely. It provides basic functions such as video monitoring, event management and equipment maintenance, as well as advanced functions such as map monitoring, designer tool and multi-user access control. Cloud VMS is suitable for multi-site monitoring scenarios such as chain stores and distributed offices, helping improve video management efficiency.
VIGI VMS PC Client is a playback client without device management and site management functions. However, it supports functions including live view, playback, AI monitoring and evidence collection. VIGI VMS PC Client can be installed on multiple hosts for multi-user video management and viewing needs. To use VIGI VMS PC Client, prepare a Windows PC for installation.
