Product SKU: kit-tp-link-vigi2x5mp4ch
Product Overview
The TP-Link Insight 5MP CCTV Kit pairs 2 VIGI InSight S455 turret cameras with the VIGI NVR1004H-4P 4-channel PoE recorder, delivering a complete plug-and-play surveillance solution for smaller homes, small businesses, and focused monitoring areas. Each camera captures 2880 × 1620 resolution footage in full colour 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — even in near-darkness — thanks to built-in white light and IR illumination up to 30m. Smart AI detection classifies humans and vehicles to cut down on false alarms, while the built-in microphone, speaker, and active light alarm enable genuine two-way deterrence. The 2.8mm fixed lens provides a wide 111.4° horizontal field of view, ideal for open areas. PoE connectivity keeps cabling simple, and the NVR supports 4K HDMI output at up to 3840 × 2160 for crisp local playback. NDAA compliant.



Key Capabilities
24/7 Full-Colour Video
Unlike cameras that switch to black-and-white at night, the InSight S455 maintains vivid colour footage in low-light conditions using built-in white light illumination, ensuring usable, detailed evidence any time of day or night.
Human & Vehicle AI Classification
The smart AI engine distinguishes between people, vehicles, and irrelevant motion such as animals or swaying branches, dramatically reducing false alarms and ensuring alerts are only triggered by events that genuinely matter.
Active Defense with 2-Way Audio
A built-in microphone, speaker, and light alarm allow you to hear, speak, and actively deter intruders in real time. This combination turns the camera into both a monitoring and deterrence tool without needing additional devices.
Wide 111.4° Field of View
The 2.8mm fixed lens delivers a broad horizontal field of view, making it well suited to open spaces such as driveways, yards, shopfronts, and open-plan areas where covering maximum ground with fewer cameras is a priority.
Simple PoE Installation
Power over Ethernet means a single network cable carries both data and power to each camera, eliminating the need for separate power adapters and reducing installation time and cable clutter — especially valuable in hard-to-reach locations.
4K HDMI Output & H.265+ Compression
The NVR1004H-4P supports HDMI output at up to 3840 × 2160, enabling ultra-clear local playback on a compatible monitor. H.265+ compression keeps file sizes manageable without sacrificing video quality, stretching HDD storage further.
Best For
- Small Home Security: Covers 2 key zones such as a front door and driveway with 5MP full-colour detail and smart AI alerts, without the cost or complexity of a larger system.
- Small Retail or Office: Monitors entrances and high-value areas with human and vehicle classification, reducing alarm fatigue for busy staff who can’t watch live footage continuously.
- Rental Properties: Weatherproof IP67 cameras paired with a PoE NVR provide a clean, low-maintenance installation that can be managed remotely via the TP-Link VIGI app.
- Focused Deterrence Zones: The active defense speaker and light alarm make this kit effective at deterring opportunistic intruders in carparks, side gates, or storage areas.
- NDAA-Compliant Installations: Sites requiring NDAA-compliant hardware can deploy this kit with confidence, as TP-Link VIGI cameras meet the relevant compliance requirements.
Why Choose the TP-Link Insight 5MP 2-Camera 4CH Kit
Entry-level CCTV kits often compromise on night vision quality, defaulting to monochrome IR footage that makes identifying people or vehicles difficult. This TP-Link kit takes a fundamentally different approach by delivering full-colour video around the clock from both cameras, backed by 5MP resolution that provides genuinely usable detail. The addition of active defense — speaker, microphone, and light alarm — means the system doesn’t just record; it can actively deter. Smart AI classification further reduces the nuisance of constant false alerts that plague cheaper motion-detection-only systems. The PoE NVR simplifies cabling to a single run per camera, and the 4K HDMI output ensures footage looks exceptional on a local monitor. Customers purchasing through Security Wholesalers also benefit from the option to add a surveillance-grade HDD at checkout, rounding out the kit into a fully operational system from day one.
Package Inclusions
- 1 × TP-Link VIGI NVR1004H-4P – No HDD included in kit
- 2 × TP-Link VIGI InSight S455 Turret Camera (2.8mm)
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: No HDD is included with this kit. Before purchasing, estimate your required storage based on camera count, recording schedule, and retention period. A 4TB surveillance-grade HDD is a popular choice for a 2-camera system recording continuously at 5MP. Surveillance HDDs from WD Purple or Seagate are available to add at checkout.
Buyer Tip: This kit ships with the 2.8mm lens option for both cameras, providing a wide 111.4° horizontal field of view. If your installation requires a more focused view — such as a corridor or gate entry — note that the InSight S455 is also available in a 4mm lens variant. If you require a different lens for the cameras in this kit, specify this in the order comments at checkout.

Ideal Use Cases
Residential Front Entry
Cover a front door and driveway simultaneously with 2 wide-angle 5MP cameras. Full-colour night footage and 2-way audio let you see, hear, and speak to visitors or deter unwanted guests.
Small Retail Shopfront
Monitor the entry and key interior zones with human and vehicle AI classification. Accurate alerts mean staff are notified of genuine events rather than dealing with constant false alarm fatigue.
Carpark or Side Gate
The active defense speaker and light alarm make these cameras effective deterrents in unattended outdoor areas. IP67 weatherproofing ensures reliable operation regardless of weather conditions.
Office or Warehouse Entry
Deploy at entrance points to record who enters and exits with 5MP clarity. Vehicle classification is useful for loading dock or carpark access monitoring where both people and cars are present.
Rental Property Management
A neat PoE installation with remote access via the TP-Link VIGI app suits landlords who need to monitor a property without being on-site, with minimal ongoing maintenance requirements.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need to monitor 1–2 zones with high-quality full-colour 5MP video, want active deterrence via 2-way audio and light alarm, and prefer a simple PoE setup with smart AI detection.
- Choose a different model if: You need to cover more than 2 zones — consider the 8CH NVR upgrade (+$80) available for this kit, or a larger kit with additional cameras, to suit broader coverage requirements.
FAQs
- Does this kit record in colour at night?
Yes. The InSight S455 cameras use both white light and IR illumination to deliver full-colour footage in low-light or no-light conditions, up to 30m. Unlike standard IR cameras that produce monochrome night footage, this kit retains colour information around the clock, making it significantly easier to identify individuals and vehicles after dark. - Is a hard drive included with this kit?
No. The NVR1004H-4P is supplied without an HDD. You will need to add a compatible surveillance-grade hard drive to enable local recording. Options including WD Purple and Seagate Skyhawk drives in various capacities are available to add directly at checkout. - How does the 2-way audio work?
Each InSight S455 camera has a built-in microphone and speaker. Using the TP-Link VIGI mobile app or desktop software, you can listen to audio from the camera’s location, speak through the speaker in real time, or trigger a pre-set audio alarm to deter intruders without needing to physically be on-site. - Can I add more cameras to this system later?
Yes. The NVR1004H-4P supports up to 4 PoE camera channels, so you can add up to 2 additional compatible cameras to this kit without replacing the recorder. If you anticipate needing more than 4 cameras in the future, consider the 8CH NVR upgrade available for this product. - Is TP-Link VIGI NDAA compliant?
Yes. TP-Link VIGI cameras, including the InSight S455, are NDAA compliant. This makes them suitable for installations at government facilities, educational institutions, and other sites with compliance requirements around approved surveillance hardware. - What does the smart AI detection cover?
The cameras support human and vehicle classification to filter out irrelevant motion triggers, plus smart event modes including intrusion detection and loitering detection. These features help focus alerts on meaningful events, reducing the volume of notifications you receive from wind, animals, or passing shadows. - Can I view the cameras remotely on my phone?
Yes. The TP-Link VIGI app is available for iOS and Android and allows live viewing, playback, and alert management from anywhere with an internet connection. Security Wholesalers recommends ensuring your NVR is connected to a router with a stable internet connection for reliable remote access. - What is the difference between the 2.8mm and 4mm lens options for the S455?
The 2.8mm lens (supplied in this kit) provides a wider horizontal field of view of 111.4°, making it ideal for open areas like driveways and yards. The 4mm lens offers a narrower 88° horizontal view with more focused detail, better suited to entrances or corridors. If you require the 4mm variant, specify this in the order comments at checkout.
