• TP-Link VIGI InSight S355 camera, 2.8 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

2 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 2.8 mm lens sees 111.4° across: aim it over a whole yard, driveway or shop floor from about 2.5–3 m high.

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 wall, eave, ceiling or pole with the supplied screws, or over a junction box. Pan 360°, tilt 0–90° 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-300 junction box

Sits under the camera base to hide the cable joint on a wall or eave.

Mounting

VIGI VMB-350 pole bracket

Fixes the camera to a round pole of 70–130 mm.

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.

Yards and driveways

One wide camera covers the whole space, from the gate to the front door.

Shopfronts and car parks

Colour footage of people and vehicles after hours, with alerts on your phone.

Side paths and back yards

Line-crossing and intrusion zones over the spots people sneak through.

Sheds, farms and worksites

Machinery, gates and fuel tanks watched day and night, mounted on a wall or pole.

Which lens should I choose?

The 2.8 mm lens gives the widest view (111.4° across), so one camera covers a whole yard, driveway or shopfront. Choose 4 mm (or 6 mm for long driveways) when you need more detail further away.

How far away can it identify a person?

TP-Link rates the 2.8 mm InSight S355 to detect a person at 64 m, observe at 27 m, recognise at 13 m and identify at 6 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 10.7 W. It can also run from a 12 V DC adapter, which is not included.

Will I get colour at night?

Yes. Two 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-300 junction box hides the cable joint under the camera, and the VMB-350 bracket fixes it to a 70–130 mm pole. Both are on TP-Link’s Australian accessory list for the InSight S355.

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.
