TP-Link INSIGHT S345ZI 4MP Varifocal Bullet Camera
Overview
The INSIGHT S345ZI is a 4MP outdoor bullet camera built for fixed-mount perimeter coverage where zoom flexibility matters. The 2.7–13.5mm varifocal lens (5x optical) lets you dial in field of view post-install without swapping optics — a real time-saver when your first focal length guess doesn't match the actual threat distance. Motorized zoom means remote adjustment via VIGI App or web interface without a site visit. IP67 and IK10 ratings handle UV, rain, and impact; 120dB wide dynamic range manages mixed light (glare + shadow). IR LED reaches 60m, so perimeter detection works around the clock.
Compatibility
The INSIGHT S345ZI pairs with any PoE switch or PoE injector capable of supplying 12W or pulling DC 12V direct. Works with TP-Link VIGI NVRs, VIGI VMS software, and ONVIF-compatible recorders (Profile S/T/G support). VIGI App enables remote monitoring and motorized zoom control on mobile. Built-in micro-SD slot (up to 512GB) adds local failover recording independent of NVR or network.
Installation Notes
Mount on standard wall or pole brackets rated for outdoor IP cameras — the bullet body is 60mm long. PoE delivery pulls under 12W, so standard 802.3af injectors work. Motorized zoom requires steady DC supply; power fluctuations cause focus drift. Ethernet run should stay under 328 feet (100m) for PoE stability; run conduit in high-UV or salt-spray environments. Built-in microphone and speaker support two-way audio on compatible NVRs. Alarm In/Out ports accept PIR or gate sensors to trigger recording events.
