How to add VIGI camera to VIGI app – TP-Link has launched a series of IP cameras under the VIGI brand. The cameras can be directly connected to the VIGI app without the need for an NVR, although TP-Link has also designed a dedicated NVR for VIGI cameras. As we understand it, these VIGI cameras are like regular IP cameras but with smart camera features. VIGI cameras feature motion detection, object recognition, and 24/7 color.
Below is a guide to adding VIGI cameras to the VIGI app so they can be viewed online from anywhere.
What You Need to Prepare Before Connecting Your VIGI IP Camera to Your Phone?
The first thing you need to set up is a router with an internet connection.
Next, prepare a LAN cable, which is used to connect the VIGI IP camera to the router. Once connected to the router, the VIGI IP camera will automatically obtain an Internet connection via DHCP. So you don’t need to make any settings.
You must also have the VIGI app installed on your phone and have already created an account.
