§ 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.

30m IR Night Vision

Built-in infrared lets the camera see in complete darkness up to around 30m — enough for a typical driveway, front yard or entrance. People and vehicles stay clear in black-and-white, brighter the closer they are.

Dual-Light Night Vision

Combines infrared with a warm spotlight so it can light a scene in colour at night rather than relying on black-and-white alone — clearer, more useful footage when there's something to see.
Full Color Night Vision — Unlike plain black-and-white night vision, this camera can capture colour after d...

Full Color Night Vision

Unlike plain black-and-white night vision, this camera can capture colour after dark — so you can pick out the actual colour of a car, a jacket or a bag, detail that grey infrared footage loses.
False Alarm Reduction — Filtering helps separate real activity from harmless movement like rain, leaves or ...

False Alarm Reduction

Filtering helps separate real activity from harmless movement like rain, leaves or pets, so you get fewer pointless notifications and the alerts that matter stand out.
Human/Vehicle Detection — Smart detection focuses on people and vehicles and can ignore things like swaying...

Human/Vehicle Detection

Smart detection focuses on people and vehicles and can ignore things like swaying branches, rain or small animals — helping cut down false alerts and making the right moments easier to find.
IP67 Weatherproof — Sealed against dust and water to IP67, built to keep working through rain, storms and h...

IP67 Weatherproof

Sealed against dust and water to IP67, built to keep working through rain, storms and harsh sun — suitable for fully outdoor mounting.
Two-Way Audio — Talk and listen in real time through the app — tell a courier where to leave a parcel, or s...

Two-Way Audio

Talk and listen in real time through the app — tell a courier where to leave a parcel, or speak to someone at the gate, whether you're home or away.
Strobe Light — On detecting activity, the camera can trigger a bright flashing strobe to make an intruder a...

Strobe Light

On detecting activity, the camera can trigger a bright flashing strobe to make an intruder aware they've been spotted — a visible warning rather than silent recording.

InSight S455(2.8mm) specifications

- 5 MP full-colour value: records 2880×1620 with the same full-colour night and Active Defense as the 8 MP S485, at a lower price.
- 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.

§ 04Why choose this

Built for the way you actually use the InSight S455(2.8mm)

5 MP at a lower price

The value pick in the InSight family — same full-colour and Active Defense as the 8 MP S485, for less.

Colour at night, your call

Four white LEDs hold full colour to 30 m, or switch to infrared black-and-white — auto, scheduled or off.

Active Defense deterrence

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

Listen and talk back through the VIGI app, mic picks up to about 5 m.

PoE or 12 V, 512 GB, ONVIF

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.

Deterrence points

Gates, sheds and side access where Active Defense light and siren help move intruders on.

Add to an existing system

ONVIF joins most NVRs; pair a VIGI NVR for full smart features.

Closer coverage areas

Doorways, carports and patios where the 6 m identify range is enough.

Installation Requirements

1. Power: a PoE (802.3af/at) switch or injector, or a 12 V DC plug-pack. 2. Cabling: one Cat5e/Cat6 run (RJ45) back to your PoE switch or NVR. 3. Recorder: a VIGI NVR for full features, any ONVIF recorder, or a microSD card (up to 512 GB) for standalone recording. 4. Mounting: ceiling or wall; the turret tilts on its base to aim. No IK vandal rating, so mount it out of easy reach in exposed spots.

§ 07Questions

Frequently asked about the InSight S455(2.8mm)

Q.01

How is the S455 different from the 8 MP S485?
The S455 is the 5 MP value model. It shares the same full-colour white-light night vision, Active Defense, two-way audio and IP67 build as the 8 MP S485, but records 2880×1620 instead of 4K and identifies a face or plate a little closer (about 6 m versus 8 m). It costs less, so pick it when 5 MP is enough and step up to the S485 for 4K and longer reach.
Q.02

Does it stay in full colour at night?
Yes, by switching on its four white LEDs, which reach about 30 m. If you would rather not light the area, set it to infrared and it records in black and white to roughly the same range. The mode is your choice in the VIGI app.
Q.03

Can I keep the white light from staying on all night?
Yes. The illuminator runs in Auto, Scheduled, Always on or Always off, so you can stay on infrared or schedule the white light for set hours.
Q.04

Is it PoE or does it need a plug-pack?
A PoE switch or injector (802.3af/at) powers it and carries video on one cable, up to 12 W. A 12 V DC plug-pack (up to 11 W) also works if you have no PoE.
Q.05

Will it work with my existing NVR?
It is ONVIF (Profile S/T/G), so most current Hikvision, Dahua and other ONVIF recorders can pull its stream. For the full smart features and simple setup, use a VIGI NVR or the VIGI app.
Q.06

Can it record without an NVR?
Yes, to a microSD card up to 512 GB (not included) for standalone use. An NVR or VIGI Cloud is still worth adding for longer retention and central viewing.
Q.07

Does it have a microphone and speaker?
Yes, built-in, for two-way talk through the app, with the mic hearing to about 5 m. There are no external audio or alarm terminals, so it uses the built-in audio only.
Q.08

Is it suitable for an exposed outdoor wall?
The metal housing is IP67 and rated −30 to 60 °C, so dust and heavy rain are fine. There is no IK vandal rating, so mount it out of easy reach in exposed or reachable spots.
