4× InSight S385 cameras, the VIGI NVR1008H-8MP 8-channel PoE+ recorder and Cat5e cables, shown at true relative size

TP-Link VIGI · InSight · 4-camera kit

Four 8MP 4K bullets.
One 8-channel PoE+ recorder.

TP-Link InSight S385 bullets with colour night vision, two-way audio and human and vehicle detection, recorded by the VIGI NVR1008H-8MP PoE+ recorder. A Cat5e cable for every camera is in the box.

In one sentence: A complete 4-camera TP-Link VIGI system: 8MP 4K InSight bullets that film in colour at night, talk back through a built-in speaker, and plug into a 8-channel recorder you watch from the VIGI app.

Complete kit with cables. Hard drive optional.

Choose No HDD if you already have a 3.5" surveillance drive, or pick a 2, 4, 6, 8 or 10TB drive in the options and it arrives fitted.

TP-Link VIGI NVR1008H-8MP 8-channel PoE+ recorder with power adapter, mouse and drive screws
2 × 20 m and 2 × 30 m Cat5e cables with RJ45 plugs, one per camera
Hard drive fitted and formatted if you choose a 2 to 10TB option

You also need

Longer cable for any run over 30 m (PoE reaches 100 m)

Colour at night, and a voice at the door.

Every InSight camera carries white LEDs, a microphone and a speaker. When it sees a person or vehicle cross your line it can flash its light, sound a warning and alert your phone, and you can talk to them from the VIGI app while it records.

TP-Link InSight S385 8MP 4K bullet camera

The cameras

8MP 4K metal bullet, colour at night.

The InSight S385 records 3840 × 2160 through a 2.8 mm, F1.6 lens with a 111° view. Its two IR and two white LEDs reach 30 m, and a microphone and speaker sit in the IP67 metal housing. The bracket pans, tilts and rotates to frame a driveway or fence line.

Day and night

Colour or infrared: you choose.

Leave the lights on auto, put them on a schedule, or keep them off for IR only. 120 dB true WDR holds faces against a bright doorway or sky, and H.265+ keeps the recordings small.

TP-Link VIGI NVR1008H-8MP 8-channel PoE+ recorder

The recorder

8 PoE+ ports, 1 drive bay, 4K HDMI.

The VIGI NVR1008H-8MP powers every camera from its own PoE+ port (113 W in total) and records up to 8MP on each channel. It takes one 3.5" drive of up to 10TB, with HDMI up to 4K and VGA for a local screen.

Blue Cat5e cables with RJ45 plugs, supplied with the kit

In the box

A cable for every camera.

2 × 20 m and 2 × 30 m Cat5e leads, one per camera, so the system connects up straight away. Each lead carries video and PoE power. For a longer run or cable inside the walls, use longer cable: PoE reaches 100 m.

How it goes in

From cables to phone alerts.

Run the cables

Run one of the supplied Cat5e cables from the recorder to each camera, the 20 m leads to the nearer ones. PoE carries the power, so the cameras need no power point.

Mount the cameras

Screw each bracket to the wall or eave with the accessories in the box, fit the waterproof cable cover, then aim the bullet and lock it.

Plug in the recorder

Connect it to your router and a screen, set the admin password, and the cameras come up on their PoE+ ports.

Set alerts in the VIGI app

Scan the QR code in the VIGI app, draw line crossing or intrusion zones, tick people or vehicles, and choose the light and warning sound.

Common questions

Is a hard drive included?

Choose it in the options: No HDD, or a 2, 4, 6, 8 or 10TB surveillance drive fitted and formatted. The standard option is No HDD, for people who already have a drive. The recorder takes one drive of up to 10TB.

Are the cables included?

Yes. The kit has one Cat5e cable for each camera: 2 × 20 m and 2 × 30 m Cat5e leads with RJ45 plugs. If a camera is more than 30 m from the recorder, use a longer cable; PoE works up to 100 m.

Can I watch it on my phone?

Yes. The free VIGI app for iPhone and Android shows live view, playback and alerts, and lets you talk through the cameras. On a PC use VIGI Security Manager or a web browser.

Do the cameras need a power point?

No. Each camera plugs into a PoE+ port on the recorder, and that one cable carries power and video.

Can I add more cameras later?

Yes. The recorder has 4 free PoE+ channels. Any VIGI or InSight camera plugs straight in, and other ONVIF cameras work too.

Is there enough PoE power?

Yes. With their lights on full the 4 cameras draw up to 46 W, inside the recorder's 113 W PoE budget.

How good is the night vision?

Each camera has IR and white LEDs that reach 30 m. On IR the picture is black and white; with the white light on you get colour, and the F1.6 lens gives colour down to 0.005 lux where there is some light, such as a porch or street light. The lights can run on auto, on a schedule, or stay off.

Can I talk through the cameras?

Yes. Every InSight camera has a microphone and a speaker, so you can listen and talk from the VIGI app or at the recorder. Recording conversations is covered by state and territory laws, so check them and use signage.

Will it stop false alarms from trees and animals?

Mostly. The cameras classify people and vehicles, so intrusion, line crossing and region alarms can be limited to those targets. Headlights or large moving shadows can still trigger occasionally; tuning the zone fixes most of that.

Can it warn people off?

Yes. Link an alarm rule to a flashing white light and an audible warning, and the camera tells an intruder they have been seen while it records and alerts your phone. Set a schedule so it only happens when you want it to.

Can I install it myself?

Many owners do: the cables are supplied, the cameras mount with a few screws and the recorder finds them automatically. Concealed cabling inside walls and ceilings must be done by an ACMA-registered cabler under AS/CA S009.

Are the cameras weatherproof?

Yes. InSight cameras are IP67 rated in metal housings and work from -30 to 60 °C. Fit the waterproof cover over each cable joint. The recorder lives indoors.

Installation and safety

Low-voltage cameras. The cameras run on PoE from the recorder (802.3af/at, up to 11.5 W each). There is no mains connection at the cameras.

Recorder power. The recorder runs from its 53.5 V plug-in adapter in a standard power point. A new power point needs a licensed electrician.

Cabling. Concealed data cabling is customer cabling under AS/CA S009 and needs an ACMA-registered cabler.

Audio. Recording conversations is covered by state and territory surveillance laws. Check them, and use signage, before you switch the microphones on.

Lights and warnings. Aim the white lights away from neighbours' windows and set schedules so warnings only sound when needed.
