The InSight S445ZI, part of TP-Link’s VIGI series, is a 4MP IR motorized varifocal turret network camera designed for professional surveillance. With a 1/2.9″ Progressive Scan CMOS sensor, it offers crystal-clear video at a maximum resolution of 2688 x 1520 pixels. The camera features a motorized varifocal lens with a 5x optical zoom (2.7-13.5 mm focal length) and an F1.6 aperture, ensuring adaptability for different viewing angles. It also boasts a powerful infrared illuminator with a range of up to 60 meters, enabling night vision and consistent image quality in low-light conditions. Its wide dynamic range (WDR) of 120 dB enhances the clarity of images in scenes with both bright and dark areas.
The S445ZI supports advanced features like two-way audio communication, intelligent event detection (e.g., motion, intrusion, and loitering), and video compression with H.265+ technology to save bandwidth and storage. It provides flexible management options via the VIGI app, Security Manager, web interface, or cloud VMS, offering secure access with password protection and encryption. This robust design, coupled with a durable housing, makes it suitable for diverse environments.
