Any easy way to mount this on the ceiling and not on a wall?

[@The_Tech_Geeks]

Yes, you can reverse the way the back section of the bracket clips in and as a result you can fit it to a ceiling

Does it work with POE only and not 12V?

[@The_Tech_Geeks]

I believe this can be powered by 12v as well according to the specs 12V DC ± 5%, Max. 14 W, 5.5mm Coaxial Power Plug PoE: 802.3at, class 4, Max. 16 W

Are both lenses working? What is the use of these two lenses?

[@The_Tech_Geeks]

The VIGI C540V has two lenses to enhance its functionality and performance. One lens is designed for wide-angle viewing, providing a broad field of view, while the other lens is for detailed, zoomed-in shots. This dual-lens setup allows the camera to seamlessly switch between wide and zoomed views, ensuring comprehensive coverage and detailed monitoring without the need for mechanical zoom components. This design also helps reduce lens wear and tear, making the camera more durable and reliable

Will it work on my dahua nvr?

[@The_Tech_Geeks]

The camera supports ONVIF so yes it should work if the Dahua NVR supports ONVIF, but you may not be able to use all the features.

[@marcogatchalian7040]

dying to buy this..... got a swann NVR with poe, would you know if i can add that on or need a tp link nvr?

[@The_Tech_Geeks]

Good question. If the SWANN NVR supports ONVIF then the TP-Link cameras should work with it (you may not get all the features) but they will record to it.

WARNING: This device has a plastic housing and is thus unsuitable for outdoor use.

[@The_Tech_Geeks]

We have plenty of these outside and running fine. Most vendors in this price bracket have plastic shells. If you are looking for a longer lasting solution and not mounting under the eves etc, then look for the TP-Link pro series that have metal shells.

[@krizpavel]

Hi, it is possible mount it on roof (horizontal) or only to wall (vertikal). On video it looks only on vertikall wall. Thx.

[@The_Tech_Geeks]

Good question. I don't think you can mount it horizontally as I don't believe the motors in the device will cope with moving the device up and down as they were not designed that way. It may be possible, but have not tried it I am afraid.

According to the instructions you can ceiling mount using the same bracket static.tp-link.com/upload/manual/2023/202303/20230320/7106509987_VIGI%20C540V(UN)1.0_QIG_V1.pdf
