Product SKU: kit-tp-link-vigi4x5mp4ch
Product Overview
The TP-Link VIGI Insight 4-camera 5MP kit pairs 4 x InSight S455 full-colour turret cameras with the VIGI NVR1004H-4P 4-channel PoE network video recorder, delivering a complete plug-and-play surveillance solution for homes, small businesses, and commercial properties. Each camera captures 5MP resolution footage at 2880 × 1620 with 24/7 full-colour imaging, 30m IR and white-light night vision, built-in microphone and speaker for 2-way audio, and AI-powered human and vehicle classification to reduce false alerts. The 2.8mm wide-angle lens covers a horizontal field of view of 111.4°, making it ideal for open areas, driveways, and shop floors. PoE connectivity means a single Ethernet cable delivers both power and data to each camera, keeping installation clean and straightforward. NDAA compliant and built to IP67 weatherproof standards, this kit is ready for demanding indoor and outdoor environments.
Key Capabilities
24/7 Full-Colour Imaging
Unlike cameras that switch to black-and-white at night, the S455 maintains full-colour video around the clock using both IR and white-light illumination up to 30m. This makes identifying people, clothing colours, and vehicle details far more reliable after dark.
AI Human & Vehicle Classification
The built-in AI engine distinguishes between people, vehicles, and irrelevant motion such as animals or foliage. This dramatically reduces false alarm notifications and ensures security staff or homeowners only respond to genuinely significant events.
2-Way Audio with Active Deterrence
Each camera features a built-in microphone and speaker, enabling live voice communication through the TP-Link VIGI app. Combined with sound and light alarm capabilities, this allows real-time deterrence without requiring anyone to be physically on-site.
Wide-Angle 111.4° Coverage
The 2.8mm fixed lens delivers a horizontal field of view of 111.4°, vertical 58.8°, and diagonal 134°. This broad coverage is ideal for monitoring large open areas, car parks, retail floors, and driveways with fewer cameras required.
PoE Simplifies Installation
The NVR1004H-4P features built-in PoE ports, so a single Cat5e or Cat6 cable to each camera carries both power and data. This eliminates the need for separate power adapters at each camera location, reducing cable runs and installation time.
Smart Event Detection
Beyond motion detection, the system supports intrusion detection and loitering detection, allowing customised alert zones and rules. This precision monitoring reduces unnecessary notifications and helps security teams focus on genuine threats.
Best For
- Small Retail & Hospitality: The wide-angle 5MP cameras and AI detection provide accurate coverage of shop floors, entry points, and service areas without triggering constant false alarms from customer foot traffic.
- Residential Properties: Homeowners benefit from full-colour night imaging, 2-way audio, and active deterrence to monitor driveways, front doors, and backyard areas around the clock.
- Small Offices & Warehouses: The IP67-rated cameras handle indoor and outdoor environments equally well, while PoE connectivity keeps cable runs minimal across larger floor plans.
- Rental Properties & AirBnB Sites: Remote viewing via the TP-Link VIGI app and push notification alerts allow property managers to monitor multiple sites from a single mobile device.
- Construction & Trade Sites: Weatherproof IP67 construction and loitering detection make this kit a practical choice for after-hours monitoring of equipment and restricted access zones.
Why Choose the TP-Link VIGI Insight 4-Camera 5MP Kit
Budget CCTV kits often compromise on night-time image quality, delivering grainy black-and-white footage that makes identification difficult. This TP-Link VIGI kit takes a different approach — the InSight S455 cameras deliver 5MP full-colour video day and night using both IR and white-light illumination, so footage remains vivid and actionable after dark. The addition of AI-powered human and vehicle classification means alerts are meaningful rather than constant, and the 2-way audio with active deterrence adds a layer of intervention capability that basic cameras simply cannot provide. The NVR1004H-4P handles simultaneous recording and playback across all 4 channels with H.265+ compression, keeping storage requirements manageable. Available through Security Wholesalers with NDAA compliance confirmed, this kit delivers enterprise-grade detection features in a package suited to residential and small-to-medium business deployments alike.
Package Inclusions
- 1 × TP-Link VIGI NVR1004H-4P – No HDD included in kit.
- 4 × TP-Link VIGI Insight S455 Turret Camera (2.8mm)
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: No HDD is included in this kit. Before purchasing, estimate your required storage based on the number of cameras, recording resolution, and how many days of footage you need to retain. A 4TB surveillance-grade HDD is a common starting point for 4-camera kits recording continuously at 5MP, and HDD options are available to add directly from the product page.
Buyer Tip: If you need a wider camera layout or plan to expand your system, an upgrade to the 8CH NVR is available for an additional $80. This gives you room to add up to 4 more cameras in the future without replacing the recorder.

Ideal Use Cases
Home Driveways & Perimeters
The wide 111.4° field of view and 30m full-colour night vision make the S455 cameras well-suited for monitoring residential driveways, front yards, and side access points with clear, coloured footage at all hours.
Retail Shop Floors
5MP resolution and AI classification allow retail operators to monitor customer movement and identify specific individuals or incidents accurately, while reducing alert fatigue from non-relevant motion triggers.
Small Warehouses & Stockrooms
Loitering and intrusion detection modes help protect high-value inventory areas after hours. The IP67 rating ensures cameras remain operational in dusty or humid warehouse environments without additional protection.
Office Entrances & Car Parks
Vehicle classification and high-resolution imaging make it straightforward to log vehicle activity at office entrances and open car parks, supporting both security monitoring and incident investigation.
Rental & Investment Properties
Remote viewing via the TP-Link VIGI app lets property managers check in on rental sites from anywhere. Push notifications for human detection mean landlords are alerted to meaningful activity without constant manual monitoring.
Hospitality Venues
The 2-way audio and active deterrence features are well-suited to cafés, bars, and function venues where staff may need to communicate with or warn individuals in monitored areas without direct physical contact.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need a complete 4-camera PoE kit with full-colour night vision, 2-way audio, AI detection, and NDAA compliance in a single purchase, and your site suits a wide-angle 2.8mm lens for broad coverage.
- Choose a different model if: You require more than 4 camera channels — an upgrade to the 8CH NVR is available for an additional $80, giving you capacity to expand your system without replacing the recorder.
FAQs
- Does this kit include a hard drive?
No, the NVR1004H-4P is supplied without a HDD. You will need to add a surveillance-grade hard drive separately to enable local recording. Compatible HDD options including 2TB, 3TB, 4TB, 6TB, and 8TB drives are available to add directly from the product page when purchasing this kit.
- Can I use 4mm lens cameras instead of 2.8mm in this kit?
Yes. The kit ships with 2.8mm cameras as standard, but if you require 4mm lenses for more focused, longer-distance coverage, you can specify this in the order comments at checkout and the correct cameras will be shipped to you. The 4mm lens provides a horizontal field of view of 88° and a DORI detection distance of up to 80m.
- Is the TP-Link VIGI system NDAA compliant?
Yes. TP-Link VIGI cameras, including the InSight S455, are NDAA compliant, making them suitable for government facilities, defence-related sites, and organisations with supply chain security requirements. Compliance documentation is available on the Security Wholesalers website.
- How does the 2-way audio work?
Each S455 camera is fitted with a built-in microphone and speaker. Using the TP-Link VIGI app on a smartphone or tablet, you can listen to audio from the camera location and speak back in real time. This allows you to communicate with visitors, warn intruders, or coordinate with staff on-site remotely.
- What smart detection features are included?
The cameras support AI-powered human and vehicle classification, intrusion detection, and loitering detection. These features allow you to define specific alert zones and event types, reducing false notifications from wind, animals, or general movement while ensuring genuine security events trigger alerts promptly.
