Omada & VIGI by TP-Link: One platform to connect and protect every business site

Businesses can’t afford networks and security systems that live in separate worlds. At this year’s Bulgarian Security Summit, TP-Link brings Omada and VIGI together on one stand to show a truly unified infrastructure: enterprise-grade networking and intelligent video surveillance, deployed, monitored and managed from a single cloud platform. Our focus is on the places where connectivity and security matter most: hotels, retail chains, warehouses, logistics hubs, campuses and multi-site offices.

Built on 30 years of networking expertise. A camera is only as reliable as the connection behind it, and that is where TP-Link’s experience makes the difference. Since 1996, TP-Link has grown into one of the world’s leading networking brands, and Omada brings that know-how to business networks. Its software-defined platform centralises gateways, switches, access points and VIGI cameras in a single dashboard. Zero-touch provisioning and multi-site management are built in, and licence-free management options keep running costs predictable. The result is an infrastructure that scales from one shop to many locations without changing systems. For integrators, that means faster deployment and a single trusted vendor. For business owners, it means one app to check every site, every device and every alert.

Surveillance that understands what it sees. The VIGI Insight series uses AI-powered detection to tell people and vehicles apart from shadows, rain or swaying trees. Security teams spend less time on false alarms and more time on real events. Visitors can see how the Insight LPR345ZI recognises licence plates to help manage vehicle access at entrances and car parks. The Insight PTZ5425 follows activity across wide areas. Hotels, logistics centres and parking operators face both of these scenarios every day.

Coverage beyond the cable. Perimeters, parking lots, construction sites and remote warehouses rarely have convenient cabling. Our outdoor wireless bridges link distant cameras back to the main network without digging trenches. Cellular routers such as the ER701-5G-Outdoor connect sites that have no fixed line at all. This is a practical way to extend security to places where it was previously too costly or complicated.

Faster deployment, fewer site visits. The new Fusion G+ combines gateway and controller in a single device. Installers can adopt all Omada devices on site at once from the Omada app. Once the system is running, networks and cameras can be monitored and troubleshot remotely. Integrators save time, and their clients have less downtime.

Come and see it working. Our team will be at the booth to walk you through real-world scenarios. Bring your project challenges, whether it’s a single shop or a multi-site network, and we’ll show you how Omada and VIGI can connect and protect it.
