TP-Link INSIGHT S345-4G Outdoor Security Camera

TP-Link InSight S345-4G | 4MP Outdoor 4G Bullet Camera

The TP-Link InSight S345-4G Bullet IP security camera is a 4MP outdoor camera designed for remote locations where wired internet isn’t available. With built-in 4G LTE connectivity and three LAN ports, it offers flexible deployment for off-grid security monitoring.

Key Specifications

Three LAN Ports for Hassle-Free Deployment

The InSight S345-4G features three LAN ports, allowing you to connect up to three devices simultaneously without additional switches. This industry-first design is particularly useful for solar-powered installations where running extra cables is impractical. The multiple ports eliminate the need for separate network infrastructure in remote monitoring setups.

Human and Vehicle Classification

Advanced AI algorithms distinguish between humans, vehicles, and other objects, reducing false alarms. When movement is detected, the camera can identify whether it’s a person or vehicle, sending more accurate notifications to your mobile device. This targeted detection means you’ll only be alerted to genuine security events rather than passing animals or weather movement.

LightPro Night Vision Technology

The VIGI LightPro system intelligently switches between infrared and full-color night vision based on detected subjects. When people or vehicles are present, white LEDs activate to capture colour details of critical events. During quiet periods, IR mode activates to reduce light pollution and conserve energy. This adaptive approach ensures clear footage when needed while minimising disturbance to surrounding areas.

Smart Video Enhancement

True WDR (120dB) balances exposure in high-contrast scenes, ensuring both bright and dark areas remain visible. Smart IR prevents overexposure by adjusting infrared intensity based on subject distance. 3D DNR reduces noise while preserving important details, and white balance maintains accurate colours across varying lighting conditions. These technologies work together to deliver clear footage in challenging environments like entrances with backlighting or areas with mixed indoor/outdoor lighting.

Efficient H.265+ Compression

H.265+ compression reduces bandwidth and storage requirements by up to 57.5% compared to H.264, while maintaining excellent image quality. This means you can store more footage on the same SD card or use lower data allowances for 4G transmission, reducing ongoing operational costs.
