Active Defense is a TP-Link VIGI security camera feature that uses AI detection to identify intruders and instantly deter them with automated flashing lights and sound alarms. It provides real-time protection, supporting custom voice warnings and enabling immediate response to potential threats, manageable via the VIGI App, NVR, or VMS.

Key Aspects of VIGI Active Defense:

• Proactive Deterrence: Instead of just recording, the camera flashes lights and emits sounds (sirens or custom voice alerts) to deter intruders upon detection.
• AI-Powered Detection: The system uses algorithms to detect specific events, such as human and or vehicle detection, line-crossing, area intrusion, object removal and loitering detection.
• Customization: Users can customize the sound type, volume, and the light alarm’s schedule.
• Instant Notifications: The system sends instant alerts to the VIGI app when a potential incident is detected, allowing for real-time monitoring.
• Integrated Protection: Active Defence works seamlessly with other security features like 24-hour full-color night vision and two-way audio to ensure comprehensive monitoring.

Active Defense can be configured for specific event detection (e.g., in the Camera’s Settings under “Active Defense”) to initiate these alerts automatically when threats are identified.
