• TP-Link VIGI InSight S455 camera, 4 mm lens
• Waterproof cable attachments
• Mounting accessories: screws, wall plugs and drill template
• Quick start guide

• One Cat5e or Cat6 network cable
• A PoE NVR, PoE switch or PoE injector (or a 12 V DC adapter, not included)
• A microSD card up to 512GB if recording in the camera (not included)
• A drill and screwdriver

Colour after dark

4 white LEDs reach 30 m, so night footage shows the colour of a jacket or a car, not grey shapes. Set them to switch on automatically, on a schedule, or stay off.

Alerts for people and cars, not leaves

Human and vehicle classification checks every motion event, so moving trees, shadows and birds don’t keep setting off your phone.

Find footage faster

People and Vehicle Analytics lets you search recordings by clothing colour, bags, vehicle type and colour, when used with VIGI software.

Talk and warn

A built-in microphone and speaker give two-way audio. Events can also sound a warning and flash the white light.

Clear in harsh light

120 dB True WDR balances bright sky and dark shade, and 3D DNR and Smart IR keep night footage clean and free of glare. With People and Vehicle Analytics on, it uses digital WDR instead.

Built for outdoors

IP67 metal housing rated from −30 °C to 60 °C, for Australian sun, storms and frosty mornings.

01

Plan the view

The 4 mm lens sees 88° across: aim it at a gate, door or path where faces need to be clear a little further out.

02

Run the cable

Run one Cat5e or Cat6 cable from the camera to a PoE NVR or switch, up to 100 m. Fit the waterproof cable attachment on the RJ45 joint.

03

Mount and aim

Fix it to the eave, ceiling or wall with the supplied screws, or over a junction box. Pan 360°, tilt 0–85° and rotate 360° to line up the picture.

04

Add it to VIGI

Add it from your VIGI NVR, or straight into the VIGI app. Then set detection zones, alerts and the night light.

Mounting

VIGI VJB-240 junction box

A wall junction box for VIGI turrets and domes, to hide the cable joint.

Mounting

VIGI VJB-300 junction box

A compact box under the camera for eaves and ceilings.

Recording

VIGI PoE NVR

4 and 8-channel VIGI recorders power the cameras over PoE and record every channel.

Storage

microSD card

Up to 512GB in the camera, for small sites or as a backup to the NVR.

Gates and entries

A tighter view that keeps faces at a gate or doorway clear from further away.

Shops and cafés

Counter, entry and back door in colour, with a discreet turret on the ceiling.

Offices and reception

Entries and corridors, with people search when something goes missing.

Home eaves and porches

A neat turret under the eave that keeps colour at the front door all night.

Which lens should I choose?

The 4 mm lens has a tighter view (88° across) than the 2.8 mm, so people and vehicles further away fill more of the picture. Choose 2.8 mm for the widest coverage.

How far away can it identify a person?

TP-Link rates the 4 mm InSight S455 to detect a person at 80 m, observe at 33 m, recognise at 16 m and identify at 8 m. Mount it so the faces you care about are inside the identify distance.

Does it need a power point?

No. It runs on PoE (802.3af/at) over its network cable from a PoE NVR, switch or injector, drawing up to 12 W. It can also run from a 12 V DC adapter, which is not included.

Will I get colour at night?

Yes. Four white LEDs light the scene up to 30 m for full-colour video. You can set them to auto, a schedule, always on or always off, or use the 850 nm infrared LEDs for black and white.

Does it work with my recorder?

It works with TP-Link VIGI NVRs and with other recorders that support ONVIF Profile S, G or T. People and Vehicle Analytics search needs VIGI software, such as a VIGI NVR, the VIGI app or VIGI Security Manager.

Can it record without an NVR?

Yes. Fit a microSD card of up to 512GB (not included) and it records in the camera, viewed through the VIGI app.

Can I talk through the camera?

Yes. It has a built-in microphone, which picks up sound within about 5 m, and a speaker for two-way talk. Events can also trigger an audible warning and flash the white light.

What does the AI detect?

People and vehicles, with intrusion, line crossing, region entering and exiting, loitering, object left behind or removed, abnormal sound and scene change. Ordinary motion detection is filtered by the human and vehicle classification for fewer false alerts.

Can it go outside?

Yes. The metal housing is rated IP67 and works from −30 °C to 60 °C.

How much storage will it use?

H.265+ compression cuts the space needed compared with H.264 and H.265. The main stream runs at 256 Kbps to 6 Mbps, so recording on events uses far less than recording around the clock.

Which junction box or pole mount fits?

The VJB-240 or VJB-300 junction box sits under the camera to hide the cable joint and keep the weather out. Both are on TP-Link’s Australian accessory list for the InSight S455.

What warranty do I get?

A 3-year TP-Link Australia warranty, handled through InFront Technologies. Contact us first and we’ll organise any claim.
