One camera on the ceiling,
the whole room covered.
This is the TP-Link VIGI InSight S655I, a 5MP fisheye camera. Mounted on the ceiling it sees the entire room below it, then the VIGI app and VMS turn that circle into panoramas or up to eight virtual camera views you can pan and zoom.
In one sentence: the S655I is a 5MP (2560 × 1920) 360° fisheye IP camera with 1.44 mm lens, 10 m IR, multiple dewarp display modes and ePTZ, two-way audio, smart detection, microSD up to 512GB, PoE and IP67 / IK10 protection.
The camera on its own. Add a recorder or a microSD card.
The S655I runs on one network cable from any PoE switch or recorder. It mounts on a ceiling or wall with the bracket supplied; for a neat surface finish add the VJB-240 or VJB-300 junction box.

See more, spend less.
In a shop, office or meeting room, one fisheye on the ceiling can replace several fixed cameras. In 4PTZ mode it works as four cameras at once, and you can drag each view to look at a different part of the room.
Why people buy it
Why people choose the S655I.
No blind spots
The 1.44 mm fisheye sees 180° in every direction, so from the ceiling it covers the full 360° around it.
Many views from one camera
Fisheye, 180° and 360° panorama, cylinder, AR dewarp, and up to 8 virtual PTZ views.
Fewer cameras to install
One cable and one mounting point instead of a camera in each corner.
Talk and listen
A built-in microphone and speaker give two-way audio from the app.
Smart alerts
Intrusion, line crossing, area entry and exit, and abnormal sound detection, with push notifications.
Tough and compact
Only 132 mm across and 56 mm high, in a metal housing rated IP67 and IK10.

4-in-1 camera
One fisheye, four camera views.
Left, the raw fisheye image of a meeting room from the ceiling. Right, the same camera in 4PTZ mode: four flat, corrected views you can each drag to a different spot. Other modes add a fisheye plus three or eight virtual PTZ windows.

Display modes
Unwrap the room into a panorama.
Switch to 360° panorama to see every wall of the room in one wide strip, or to cylinder and AR dewarp views. The VIGI app and VIGI VMS each offer their own set of modes, for both ceiling and wall mounting.

In the box
Everything to mount it on a ceiling or wall.
The camera comes with a metal mounting bracket, screws, anchors, washers and nuts, an L-shaped screwdriver, a mounting template and waterproof cable attachments. A microSD card and pendant mounting kit are not included.
How it goes in
From the box to recording in four steps.
01
Choose ceiling or wall
Ceiling mounting in the centre of the room gives the full 360°. Wall mounting gives a 180° panorama of the room in front.
02
Fix the bracket
Use the template to drill, fit the bracket and run one Cat6 cable through it.
03
Connect and fix
Plug in the cable, fit the waterproof attachment if needed, and fix the camera to the bracket.
04
Pick your views
Add it in the VIGI app or VMS, set the mounting type, then choose fisheye, panorama or PTZ views and alerts.

Common questions
What does a fisheye camera do?
It uses a very wide 1.44 mm lens that sees 180° in every direction. From the ceiling that covers the whole room around it, and the software flattens the round image into normal-looking views.
What display modes does it have?
On VIGI VMS with ceiling mounting: fisheye, AR dewarp, 180° and 360° panorama, cylinder, 2PTZ, 4PTZ, and fisheye or panorama combined with 3, 6 or 8 PTZ windows. The VIGI app offers fisheye, 180° and 360° panorama, fisheye + 3PTZ, 4PTZ, cylinder and AR dewarp.
What is ePTZ?
Electronic pan, tilt and zoom. You drag and zoom within the fisheye image to look at one area, without any moving parts in the camera.
Can I mount it on a wall?
Yes. Wall mounting gives a 180° panoramic unwrap of the room in front, with its own set of fisheye and PTZ display modes. A pendant mount kit (not included) suits high ceilings.
Indoors or outdoors?
TP-Link designs it for small indoor areas such as shops and offices. The housing is still rated IP67 and IK10, so it handles covered outdoor areas, dust and knocks.
How far can it identify a person?
TP-Link’s DORI figures are detect 28.8 m, observe 12 m, recognise 5.7 m and identify 2.8 m. It suits rooms rather than long distances.
Does it see in the dark?
Yes, in black and white. Four infrared LEDs reach about 10 m, with Smart IR to stop close objects washing out.
Can I talk through it?
Yes. It has a built-in microphone and speaker for two-way audio. It has no external alarm or audio terminals.
Is a recorder or memory card included?
No. The S655I is sold as the camera on its own. Record to a microSD card in the camera (up to 512GB, not included), or to a VIGI NVR or to an ONVIF recorder.
How is it powered?
Over the network cable from a PoE switch or PoE recorder (802.3af/at, up to 12.14 W), or from a 12 V DC adapter if you have no PoE. One Cat6 cable carries power and video up to 100 m.
Is there a monthly fee?
Not for local recording. Footage saved to a microSD card or a recorder on your own network has no ongoing cost.
What warranty does it have?
3-year TP-Link Australia warranty, handled through InFront Technologies. Contact us first and we will look after the claim with you.
Supported by Infront Technologies.

Installation and safety
Cabling. In Australia, network cable fixed inside walls or ceilings must be installed by a registered cabler. Plugging ready-made patch leads into the camera and recorder is fine to do yourself.
Working at height. Use a stable ladder or platform and have someone with you when mounting cameras under eaves, on poles or on high walls.
Privacy and audio. Aim cameras at your own property. Recording conversations is covered by state surveillance laws, so check the rules for your state before turning on the microphone.
