§ 01Overview
What the InSight S455(2.8mm) is
The TP-Link VIGI InSight S455 is a 5 MP full-colour turret camera for outdoor use, and the value pick in the InSight family.
It records 2880×1620 detail and, like the 8 MP S485, can stay in full colour after dark with four white LEDs instead of only black-and-white infrared — at a lower price, with a little less resolution and reach.
Lens: fixed 2.8 mm (111° wide view).
Reach: detects motion to about 64 m and identifies a face or plate to about 6 m on this 2.8 mm lens — step up to the 8 MP S485 for longer identify range.
Night vision: full colour with the white light (to 30 m) or black-and-white infrared (to 30 m) — set auto, scheduled, always-on or off.
Audio / Power: built-in mic and speaker for two-way talk (mic about 5 m); PoE (802.3af/at) or a 12 V DC plug-pack.
Built for Australian outdoors with an IP67 metal housing (−30 to 60 °C), 120 dB WDR for bright backlight, H.265+ to save storage, and a microSD slot up to 512 GB (card not included).
Active Defense adds a flashing white light and an audible warning to move intruders on.
It is ONVIF (Profile S/T/G), so it works with VIGI NVRs and most third-party recorders.

InSight S455(2.8mm) specifications
- True 24/7 full colour: four white LEDs hold colour at night to 30 m; switch to infrared for black-and-white to 30 m when you would rather not light the area.
- Active Defense deterrence: a flashing white light plus an audible warning can be triggered to move intruders on, not just record them.
- People and vehicle AI: on-camera classification filters out animals, rain and shadows to cut false alerts.
- Two-way audio: built-in mic and speaker to listen and talk back through the VIGI app (mic range about 5 m).
- IP67 metal housing, 120 dB WDR, H.265+: single-cable PoE (802.3af/at) or 12 V DC, with microSD recording up to 512 GB.
- Best at closer range: identifies a face or plate to about 6 m on the 2.8 mm lens; choose the 8 MP S485 for more detail at distance.

A flashing white light and audible warning can be triggered to move intruders on.
Fewer false alerts
On-camera people and vehicle AI filters out animals, rain and shadows.
Two-way audio built in

Single-cable PoE or 12 V, microSD to 512 GB, works with VIGI and third-party ONVIF NVRs.
Best at closer range
Identifies to about 6 m on 2.8 mm — step up to the S485 if you need 4K detail further out.
§ 05Where it fits
Right at home in these scenarios
Budget-conscious homes
Yards, entries and driveways where 5 MP full colour is plenty and price matters.
Small business & shopfronts
Clear colour on people and vehicles close to the camera, with two-way audio at the door.
