Product SKU: kit-tp-link-vigi2x8mp4ch
Product Overview
The TP-Link Insight 8MP CCTV Kit pairs two VIGI Insight S485 4K turret cameras with the VIGI NVR1004H-4P 4-channel PoE network video recorder, delivering a complete plug-and-play surveillance solution for homes and small businesses. Each camera captures ultra-sharp 3840 × 2160 resolution footage with 24-hour full-colour imaging, combining IR and white LEDs for visibility up to 30 metres in total darkness. Built-in microphones and speakers enable two-way audio communication directly from the VIGI app, while smart human and vehicle detection reduces nuisance alerts significantly. The IP67-rated metal housing ensures reliable performance across exposed outdoor positions, and H.265+ compression keeps storage requirements manageable without sacrificing image clarity. This kit is ideal for anyone wanting a proven, scalable 4K IP security system with minimal cabling thanks to Power over Ethernet delivery.
Key Capabilities
4K Ultra HD Resolution
At 3840 × 2160, every frame contains enough detail to identify faces, read number plates, and review fine scene detail during playback. The high pixel density also supports meaningful digital zoom during post-event investigation without losing critical clarity.
24/7 Full-Colour Night Imaging
Dual illuminators combining IR and white LEDs maintain true colour visibility up to 30 metres after dark. Colour information such as clothing tones and vehicle paint improves recognition accuracy and strengthens evidentiary value in low-light incidents.
Smart Human & Vehicle Detection
Advanced analytics distinguish people and vehicles from general motion caused by wind, animals, or foliage. This dramatically reduces false alarms, ensuring notifications are relevant and actionable so security staff or owners respond faster to real events.
Active Defence & Two-Way Audio
Built-in microphone and speaker allow real-time conversation via the VIGI app or VMS. Combined with flashing white lights and audible alarm triggers, the system can deter intruders before an incident escalates, adding a proactive layer to passive recording.
PoE Simplicity with 4-Channel NVR
The included NVR1004H-4P powers each camera over a single network cable, eliminating separate power adapters and simplifying installation. The four-channel capacity also leaves room to add up to two more VIGI cameras as coverage needs grow.
H.265+ Efficient Storage
H.265+ compression reduces file sizes significantly compared to older codecs, allowing longer continuous recording on the same hard drive capacity. This keeps ongoing storage costs lower while maintaining full 4K image quality across all channels.
IP67 Weatherproof Metal Housing
Rated IP67 with a full metal body and an operating range of −30 to 60 °C, the S485 cameras withstand driving rain, dust, and extreme temperatures. This makes them equally suitable for exposed eaves, industrial yards, and covered car parks.
Best For
- Small Business Owners: Two cameras with smart analytics and two-way audio provide cost-effective, intelligent monitoring of entrances, counters, and stock areas without requiring a dedicated security team.
- Residential Properties: Covers driveways, front doors, and side gates with 4K clarity and full-colour night vision, giving homeowners reliable evidence capture around the clock.
- Retail Environments: Human and vehicle classification filters keep alert volumes manageable in busy settings, while 4K detail supports loss prevention review at entrances and car parks.
- Expandable Starter Installs: The 4-channel NVR has two spare ports, making this kit perfect for those who want to start with two cameras and add more later without replacing the recorder.
- Exposed Outdoor Locations: IP67-rated metal construction and a wide operating temperature range suit carparks, warehouses, and industrial yards where cameras face harsh weather conditions.
Why Choose the TP-Link Insight 8MP CCTV Kit
Cheaper CCTV kits typically offer 2MP or 4MP resolution with basic motion detection and no colour night vision, which means footage often lacks the detail needed to positively identify people or vehicles in post-event review. This TP-Link Insight 8MP kit steps up significantly by combining genuine 4K Ultra HD resolution, 24-hour full-colour imaging, smart human and vehicle classification, active deterrence with lights and alarms, and two-way audio — all in a single, cohesive system managed through the intuitive VIGI app. The NVR1004H-4P handles PoE delivery to both cameras from a single cable per channel, keeping installation straightforward. H.265+ compression protects storage budgets over time, and the IP67 metal housing ensures long-term reliability outdoors. Security Wholesalers stocks this kit as a tested, matched combination so buyers receive components confirmed to work together seamlessly from day one.
Package Inclusions
- 1 × TP-Link VIGI NVR1004H-4P 4-Channel PoE Network Video Recorder (No HDD Installed)
- 2 × TP-Link VIGI Insight S485 8MP 4K Full-Colour Turret Cameras (2.8mm Lens)
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: This kit ships without a hard drive installed. Before purchasing, calculate your recording needs — at 4K resolution with H.265+ compression across two cameras, a 4TB surveillance-rated HDD typically provides several weeks of continuous recording. Add a WD Purple or Seagate Skyhawk drive at checkout to avoid delays in getting your system operational.
Buyer Tip: The 2.8mm lens included in this kit provides a wide 111.4° horizontal field of view, making it ideal for open areas like driveways, shop floors, and yards. If you need more focused coverage at a longer range — such as a corridor or a gateway entry — request the 4mm lens variant in the order comments at checkout and the correct cameras will be shipped.

FAQs
- Does this kit come with a hard drive installed?
No — the VIGI NVR1004H-4P ships without a hard drive. You will need to add a compatible surveillance-rated HDD such as a WD Purple or Seagate Skyhawk. Capacity options from 2TB to 8TB are available to add directly at checkout, and Security Wholesalers lists these on the product page for convenience.
- Can I view footage remotely on my phone?
Yes. The TP-Link VIGI app for iOS and Android allows live viewing, playback, and push notifications from anywhere with an internet connection. The NVR1004H-4P also supports VIGI Cloud VMS for multi-site management from a desktop or web browser.
- What is the night vision range of the S485 cameras?
Each S485 camera offers up to 30 metres of night vision using a combination of IR LEDs and white LEDs. The white LEDs maintain true colour information after dark, which significantly improves the ability to identify clothing colours, vehicle paint, and other identifying details compared to traditional infrared-only cameras.
- Can I request the 4mm lens version of the cameras instead of 2.8mm?
Yes. This kit is configured with 2.8mm lenses as standard, which provide a wide 111.4° horizontal field of view. If you need the 4mm lens for more focused coverage at longer range, simply note your preference in the order comments at checkout and the correct cameras will be shipped.
- Is the NVR1004H-4P compatible with other ONVIF cameras?
The NVR1004H-4P supports ONVIF Profile S/T/G, which allows integration with many third-party IP cameras. However, advanced VIGI-specific features such as smart detection, active defence, and seamless app integration are only available when using TP-Link VIGI cameras.
- How many cameras can I connect to the included NVR?
The NVR1004H-4P supports up to four cameras across its four PoE ports. This kit uses two of those ports, leaving two spare for future expansion. Each PoE port delivers power and data over a single CAT5e or CAT6 cable, so no separate power adapters are required for the cameras.
- What smart detection features do the S485 cameras support?
The cameras support a comprehensive set of smart events including intrusion detection, line crossing, region enter/exit, object left or removed, loitering detection, people and vehicle classification, abnormal sound detection, and scene change alerts. Basic motion detection with human and vehicle filtering, tamper alerts, and exception notifications are also included.
- Is this kit suitable for outdoor installation in harsh Australian conditions?
Yes. The S485 cameras carry an IP67 weatherproof rating and a metal construction, with an operating temperature range of −30 to 60°C and humidity tolerance up to 95% non-condensing. This makes them well suited to exposed Australian outdoor environments including coastal areas, industrial sites, and regions with extreme summer heat.
