Smarter Night Vision. Sharper Colour. The VIGI InSight S345S ColorPro 2.0 Bullet Camera.
Colour night vision has been available in security cameras for years. But most implementations come with a trade-off: keep the white light spotlights running all night and deal with light pollution, insect swarms around the lens, unnecessary power draw, and the attention that a permanently lit camera draws. Or switch them off and go back to IR — back to black and white, back to losing the colour detail that makes footage genuinely useful.
The TP-Link VIGI InSight S345S solves this with ColorPro 2.0 — an AI-driven approach to colour night vision that doesn’t force you to choose. The camera reads the scene intelligently and responds accordingly. No wasted light. No unnecessary triggers. Just the right image, at the right moment, with the colour detail that identification requires.
ColorPro 2.0 — AI-ISP Powered Colour That Thinks Before It Lights
The core upgrade from ColorPro 1.0 to 2.0 is the addition of AI-ISP (Artificial Intelligence Image Signal Processing) — a dedicated processing layer that operates at the sensor level, enhancing colour accuracy and transparency in ultra-low light conditions before the image is even encoded. The result is cleaner colour reproduction with less noise, less digital artefacting, and more faithful rendering of real-world hues than the previous generation could achieve.
But the real intelligence of ColorPro 2.0 is in how the camera manages its illuminators. Rather than keeping white LEDs on continuously — the approach that causes light pollution, attracts insects to the lens, and wastes power — the S345S uses an intelligent switching system built around its AI detection engine:
- No person or vehicle detected: camera operates in standard IR mode — invisible infrared illumination, black-and-white image, zero light pollution, zero insect attraction
- Person or vehicle enters the frame: the AI triggers the white LEDs instantly, switching the image to full colour automatically — capturing the jacket colour, the vehicle colour, the face, the number plate — in vivid, actionable detail
- Subject leaves the frame: camera returns to IR mode, lights off, energy conserved
This means your camera only illuminates in full colour when there’s actually something worth seeing in colour — and stays dark the rest of the time. For outdoor residential and commercial installations where neighbours, ambient atmosphere, or insect-related lens contamination are genuine concerns, this is a meaningful practical advantage.

4MP Super-HD with 4mm Fixed Lens — Focused Detail Where It Counts
The 4mm fixed focal length delivers a 95° horizontal field of view — wider than a standard 6mm lens but more focused than a 2.8mm, making it the ideal choice for mid-range outdoor monitoring: driveways, carpark approaches, building entries, shopfronts, and perimeter lines where you need to cover a meaningful area while still resolving the detail needed for identification.
At 2688 × 1520 resolution, the S345S captures footage sharp enough to read number plates, distinguish clothing, and identify individuals — the foundation that makes the People & Vehicle Attributes Analytics actually useful rather than theoretical.
True WDR (120dB) handles the contrast challenges that the 4mm outdoor field inevitably encounters: morning sun hitting a glass shopfront, vehicle headlights sweeping across a dark driveway, or the mixed artificial lighting of a commercial carpark. The image stays balanced and usable regardless.
People & Vehicle Attributes Analytics — The Most Detailed Search in the VIGI Range
The S345S doesn’t just classify humans and vehicles — it analyses them. People & Vehicle Attributes Analytics goes several levels deeper, indexing recorded footage by observable characteristics:
For people:
- Hair length
- Upper body clothing colour
- Lower body clothing colour
- Whether they’re carrying a bag
For vehicles:
- Vehicle type (sedan, SUV, truck, motorcycle, etc.)
- Vehicle colour
In practice, this means a post-incident review that used to take hours becomes a targeted query: “show me everyone in a dark jacket carrying a bag between 10pm and midnight.” The system surfaces the relevant clips. You review six, not six hundred.
This attribute-level analytics capability is only available in specific VIGI camera models — and is activated through VIGI VMS or VIGI Security Manager software. For businesses where post-event investigation efficiency directly affects outcomes — retail loss prevention, commercial property management, fleet operators — it’s a genuine operational advantage.
Smart Detection — Comprehensive, Low-Noise Alerting
The S345S supports a full suite of AI-driven detection rules, all of which benefit from the ColourPro 2.0 colour capture when triggered after dark:
- Human & Vehicle Classification — filters animals, foliage, and environmental movement from the alert queue so notifications reflect genuine events
- Intrusion detection — triggers when a person or vehicle enters a defined restricted zone
- Line crossing — alerts on boundary breaches in a specified direction
- Region entering/exiting — monitors controlled access points
- Loitering detection — flags individuals remaining beyond an acceptable dwell time
- Object abandoned/removed — detects unattended items or missing assets
- Abnormal sound detection — responds to acoustic triggers via the built-in microphone
- Scene change detection — alerts if the camera view is obstructed or physically interfered with
Human and Vehicle Classification runs continuously, ensuring that even basic motion-triggered events are filtered through the AI engine before reaching your notification queue.
Two-Way Audio — Respond Without Being There
The built-in microphone and speaker allow real-time two-way communication through the VIGI app from anywhere in the world. When a detection event fires, you’re not just watching — you can speak. Address a delivery driver at a locked gate. Deter someone who’s triggered an intrusion alert. Check in on an outdoor area from your phone during a late night. For small business owners and residential users managing their own properties, this removes the gap between seeing something and being able to do something about it.
Flexible Alarm Integration — Fits Into Any Existing Setup
The S345S includes dedicated Alarm In/Out ports for integration with external security devices — connecting to sirens, access control panels, gate controllers, additional lighting, or third-party alarm systems. When a detection event fires, the camera can trigger these external devices automatically, creating a coordinated security response that goes beyond what the camera alone can deliver.
This alarm I/O flexibility also means the S345S slots cleanly into existing commercial security ecosystems — no need to replace existing infrastructure to add intelligent camera coverage.
Built for Australia’s Outdoor Conditions
With IP67 weatherproofing — dust-tight and protected against sustained water immersion — the S345S handles everything the Australian outdoor environment delivers: summer storms, coastal salt air, high-humidity subtropical conditions, and the sustained UV exposure that degrades cheaper camera housings over time.
The extended bullet housing provides a natural sun shield and rain visor for the lens, preserving optical quality over long outdoor deployments. Ceiling, wall, and pole mounting are all supported with the included hardware, and the side cable outlet simplifies retrofits into existing infrastructure without unnecessary drilling.
Whether you’re a homeowner upgrading a single driveway camera or a business owner protecting multiple entry points, the S345S fits the budget and the brief without compromise.
