TP-Link S385 Outdoor Bullet Camera

TP-Link INSIGHT S385 | 8MP Outdoor Bullet Security Camera

The TP-Link INSIGHT S385 Bullet IP security camera delivers 8MP clarity and intelligent analytics for UK homes and businesses. This wired outdoor camera combines advanced AI classification with robust weatherproofing to monitor property around the clock.

Key Specifications

Advanced AI Detection for Precise Alerts

The S385 features human and vehicle classification that distinguishes between people, cars, and other movement. This intelligent filtering reduces false alarms from animals or passing objects, ensuring you receive notifications only when relevant activity occurs.

True WDR for Perfect Exposure in Any Light

With a 120dB dynamic range, True WDR technology balances bright and dark areas in high-contrast scenes. Whether monitoring entrances with strong backlighting or shaded areas, the camera maintains clear detail across the entire frame without overexposure or shadowy areas.

Smart IR Night Vision for Clear Footage

Smart IR technology automatically adjusts infrared brightness based on object distance, preventing the glare that plagues standard night cameras. The 64m detection range ensures you capture license plates and facial details even in complete darkness.

H.265+ Compression Saves 57.5% Storage Space

H.265+ compression technology reduces bandwidth and storage requirements while maintaining excellent image quality. Compared to H.264, you’ll save over half your storage space – crucial for extended recording periods or multiple camera setups.

Built-in Audio and Siren for Complete Security

Two-way audio lets you communicate through the camera’s built-in speaker and microphone. The integrated siren provides immediate audible alerts when detecting motion, deterring intruders before they reach your property.
