§ 01Overview
What the Insight S485(4mm) is
The TP-Link VIGI InSight S485 is an 8 MP (4K) full-colour turret camera for outdoor use.
This is the 4 mm version: a slightly narrower 91° view that reaches further than the 2.8 mm, so faces and plates stay usable at a longer distance down a driveway, path or corridor.
Like the wider model, it can hold full colour after dark with four built-in white LEDs instead of only black-and-white infrared.
Lens: fixed 4 mm (91° view); the 2.8 mm version is wider for close, broad areas.
Reach: detects motion to about 107 m and keeps a face or plate identifiable to about 11 m on this 4 mm lens.
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.

§ 02Engineering
Insight S485(4mm) specifications
- 8 MP 4K resolution (3840×2160): sharp faces, plates and detail at the far end of a drive, path or corridor.
- 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.

A focused 91° view suits doorways, hallways and gates where you want detail, not width.
Fence lines & side access
Narrow, longer coverage along a boundary or side path.
Car parks at distance
Full-colour or infrared detail on plates and people across a bay.
Add to an existing system
ONVIF joins most NVRs; pair a VIGI NVR for full smart features.

§ 09Bundles
Recommended packages
Add a recorder
Record it on a VIGI PoE NVR — the 4-channel NVR1004H-4P for up to four cameras, or the 8-channel NVR1008H for larger jobs. Both power the cameras over PoE.
Need a wider view or to save
For broad, close coverage choose the 2.8 mm S485; for 5 MP at a lower price see the InSight S455.
Tidy the cabling
Add a junction box for a weather-sealed cable entry on exposed mounts (see accessories below).
