The TP-Link VIGI InSight S245ZI is a 4MP IR dome network camera with a motorised 2.7-13.5 mm varifocal lens, giving 5X optical zoom and a horizontal view you can set anywhere from 102° down to 29.6°. Four 850 nm IR LEDs are rated to 60 m under TP-Link's laboratory test conditions, and the metal dome adds human and vehicle classification, alarm and audio in/out terminals, a microSD slot, PoE and IP67 and IK10 protection.

InSight S245ZI overview

TP-Link sums up the VIGI InSight S245ZI as 'See Every Detail Up Close'. It is a 4MP IR dome network camera, and what sets it apart from the fixed-lens VIGI domes is the motorised varifocal lens: 2.7 to 13.5 mm, F1.6, with 5X optical zoom. TP-Link explains that adjusting the field of view helps you concentrate on areas of interest, minimise invalid detection zones and enhance target clarity. At the wide end the horizontal view is 102.0°; at full zoom it narrows to 29.6°, with vertical coverage of 53.8° to 16.8° and diagonal coverage of 122.8° to 34.1°.

Because the lens moves, TP-Link quotes DORI distances as a range across the zoom: detect 62 to 200 m, observe 27 to 84 m, recognise 13 to 40 m and identify 7 to 21 m. The 1/2.9" progressive scan CMOS sensor delivers up to 2688 x 1520, with main-stream resolutions down to 1920 x 1080 at up to 25 fps on 50 Hz or 30 fps on 60 Hz (20 fps when the image is rotated 90° or 270°). Main-stream bit rate runs from 256 Kbps to 6 Mbps in H.265+, H.265, H.264+ or H.264. TP-Link says H.265+ saves 57.5% and 15% more storage than H.264 and H.265 respectively, a figure it bases on laboratory testing with a 3MP VIGI camera and notes will vary with recorded activity, resolution and other variables.

Night coverage comes from four 850 nm IR LEDs. TP-Link rates them to 60 m and states that this is calculated from laboratory testing and will vary with client limitations and environmental factors. Minimum illumination is 0.005 lux, or 0 lux with IR, using an IR-cut filter with unified, scheduled or automatic day/night switching. Image processing includes 120 dB True WDR, BLC, 3D DNR, HLC and Smart IR, which TP-Link says adjusts infrared output to prevent overexposure and glare at different distances. There are up to four privacy masks and one ROI region.

Motion detection is enhanced with human and vehicle classification, and the smart event set covers intrusion, line-crossing, region entering and exiting, object abandoned and removal, loitering, people, vehicle, abnormal sound and scene change detection. The S245ZI has terminals for one alarm in and one alarm out plus one audio in and one audio out; it has a built-in microphone covering a 5 m radius but TP-Link lists the built-in speaker as N/A, so two-way audio needs an external speaker on the audio out. Linkage options include memory card recording, push notifications, an Active Defence sound alarm, email, FTP upload, alarm output and sending to an alarm server. Power is 802.3af/at PoE (class 0, maximum 12 W) or 12 V DC (maximum 10.8 W), storage is a microSD slot for cards up to 512 GB (card not included), and the metal dome is rated IP67 and IK10, measures Φ129.9 x 102.5 mm and weighs 0.775 kg.
