§ 01Overview

What the Insight S385 is

The TP-Link VIGI InSight S385 is an 8MP full-colour bullet camera that combines 4K detail with genuine colour night vision. It has both IR LEDs and white LEDs, each rated to 30 m, and reaches 0 lux with white light, so at night it can hold full colour, capturing clothing and vehicle colour that a plain IR camera renders only in black-and-white. It comes with a 2.8mm lens for a wide 111-degree view, or a 4mm lens for a more focused, longer-reach view.

It records 4K (3840 x 2160) on a 1/2.7-inch sensor with 120dB wide dynamic range to balance bright and shadowed areas. AI human and vehicle classification keeps alerts to real people and cars, ignoring trees, animals and shadows, and it supports intrusion, line-crossing and loitering detection. Two-way audio, through the built-in microphone and speaker, allows listen-in and talk-back from the VIGI app, and H.265+ compression keeps storage and bandwidth down.

The S385 has an IP67-rated metal bullet housing whose extended lens hood helps shield against glare and weather. It runs on PoE (802.3af/at) or 12V DC, records to a microSD card up to 512GB, and works with VIGI NVRs and the VIGI app, or with third-party recorders over ONVIF (Profile S/T/G) and RTSP. It is normally fitted by a security or cabling technician.

8MP Ultra HD

8MP (4K) resolution captures four times the detail of 1080p.
Even when a person or car is far down the driveway, you can zoom in and still recognise a face or read a number plate — detail that lower-resolution cameras lose.

30m IR Night Vision — Built-in infrared lets the camera see in complete darkness up to around 30m — enough ... (2/2)

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 nigh...

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 speak to someone at the gate, whether you're home or away.

§ 04Why choose this

Built for the way you actually use the Insight S385

Colour, even at night

IR and white LEDs let the S385 hold full colour after dark, recording detail an IR-only camera turns to black-and-white.

4K detail

8MP resolution captures faces and number plates clearly across driveways and car parks.

Fewer false alarms

AI human and vehicle classification ignores trees, animals and shadows, so alerts are worth checking.

Backed locally

Supplied by an authorised dealer with a 3-year warranty and Australia-wide support.

§ 05Where it fits

Right at home in these scenarios

Driveways and entries

Hold a clear, colour view of vehicles and visitors day and night with the 4mm lens.

Car parks and forecourts

Use the 2.8mm wide lens to cover an open area and read colour detail after dark.

Building perimeters

Run a line of bullets along a boundary or shopfront with full-colour night vision.

Loading and delivery areas

Capture plates and people in colour at a gate or dock around the clock.

§ 06Setup

Installation & setup

01

What it is

An 8MP full-colour fixed-lens bullet camera (2.8mm or 4mm) with an IP67 metal housing, for outdoor use.

02

Power and network

PoE (802.3af/at) over one Cat5e/6 cable, or 12V DC. It connects to a PoE NVR or PoE switch.

03

Mounting

Wall or eave mount facing the area; the lens hood helps with glare. Add a junction box for cable management.

04

Setup

In Australia a network camera is usually fitted by a licensed security installer or a competent IT/cabling technician, who runs the Cat5e/6 cable, terminates the RJ45, mounts the camera and adds it to the NVR or VIGI app. Set the night-vision mode (full colour or IR), detection zones and audio in the VIGI app or NVR; it also adds over ONVIF or RTSP.
