Enhance your outdoor surveillance with the TP-Link VIGI InSight S385 8MP Full-Colour Bullet Network Camera (SKU: InSight S385) — a professional-grade solution for high-resolution video monitoring. Engineered by VIGI, the commercial surveillance division of TP-Link, this camera delivers ultra-clear 8MP (3840 × 2160) resolution with intelligent analytics and 24-hour colour visibility, making it ideal for residential, commercial, and public-sector security installations.

Unmatched 8MP Clarity with Smart Full-Colour Imaging

With a powerful 1/2.7" Progressive Scan CMOS sensor, the InSight S385 captures video in 4K Ultra HD quality at up to 25fps, ensuring every frame is rich with detail. Thanks to VIGI’s advanced Full-Colour technology, it provides crystal-clear colour imaging even in very low light, using integrated IR and white LEDs with up to 30m range. Whether it’s a dim car park, an alleyway, or a commercial front at night, this camera guarantees visibility without compromise.

Available Focal Length Options: 2.8mm or 4mm

The S385 comes with a choice of fixed focal length:

• 2.8mm lens offers a wide 111.4° field of view

• 4mm lens narrows in for an 91.5° view, ideal for focusing on gates or entrances

This flexibility allows users to tailor coverage based on the application environment.

Advanced Video Analytics & Smart Detection

The VIGI InSight S385 features both basic and smart event detection powered by onboard AI.

• Basic events include motion detection, video tampering, and exception detection

• Smart events include human and vehicle classification, intrusion detection, region entering/exiting, object removal, loitering, and more

The People & Vehicle Analytics reduce false alarms by filtering out irrelevant movement, ensuring only meaningful alerts are triggered. The camera supports alarm linkage, including audible warnings, white light flashing, push notifications, and onboard memory recording.

Two-Way Audio & Active Defence

Equipped with two-way audio, the S385 can act as both a monitoring and deterrent tool. A built-in speaker and microphone enable real-time communication with individuals on-site. This feature is especially useful in retail, construction, or gated areas where live interaction can prevent incidents before they escalate.

Built for Harsh Outdoor Environments

With a robust IP67 weatherproof rating, this bullet-style camera is designed to withstand rain, dust, and extreme temperatures ranging from -30°C to 60°C. Its durable housing makes it suitable for permanent outdoor mounting in high-traffic or exposed areas.

Compression & Storage Efficiency

Thanks to H.265+ video compression, the S385 significantly reduces storage needs and bandwidth usage — using up to 57% less storage than standard H.264 while maintaining video integrity. It supports MicroSD card recording (up to 512GB) and can be easily integrated into VIGI NVR systems or third-party platforms via ONVIF compatibility.

Installation & Connectivity

Supporting 12V DC or PoE (Power over Ethernet), the S385 simplifies installation and reduces the need for separate power supplies. Cable routing options allow flexible ceiling or wall mounting with minimal drilling.
