Night surveillance has always been a challenge for security teams. Grainy images, dark corners, and unclear footage often make it difficult to identify what is really happening after hours. As security threats grow more sophisticated, MSPs and resellers need solutions that can keep up. They need technology that performs well in tough environments and low-light settings. They also need tools that reduce false alerts and help clients act fast.
At Bluechip IT, we work with partners across Australia to deliver security technologies that solve these real problems. One standout solution is the VIGI InSight S345S, a TP-Link VIGI camera built for low-light surveillance. It provides bright, colourful footage at night without relying on additional lighting. It also uses AI to make detection smarter and more accurate.
This article explores how the VIGI InSight S345S works, why its AI features matter, and how MSPs can use it to strengthen their security offerings. Keep reading to see why this camera is becoming a go-to choice for partners wanting reliable, intelligent protection.
The Rising Demand for Intelligent Low-Light Surveillance
Low-light conditions pose a significant challenge for surveillance. According to the BJS, there were approximately 13 million property crime victimisations in 2024 in the U.S. — highlighting the wide scale of the threat and the need for cameras that perform well day and night.
Because of this trend, businesses want cameras that can see clearly in dark environments. They also want accurate AI detection to avoid false alarms caused by insects, animals, or shifting shadows. With these concerns growing, the demand for advanced night surveillance has increased across retail, warehousing, agriculture, and residential sectors.
The VIGI InSight S345S was designed to meet this need. It combines ColourPro 2.0 technology, a highly sensitive sensor, and AI-driven processing to deliver clarity even in near-total darkness.
What Makes the InSight S345S Different?
The VIGI InSight S345S stands out among low-light cameras. Here’s why MSPs have started paying close attention:
- 4MP high-definition imaging for crystal-clear detail
- Ultra Low-Light performance for reliable night coverage
- ColourPro 2.0 for vivid colour imaging at night
- IP67 weatherproof build for outdoor durability
- Two-way audio for real-time communication
- Flexible Alarm In/Out integration for linking external sensors and sirens
All these features help resellers provide clients with strong, flexible, and accurate surveillance solutions.

AI-ISP Technology: The Brain Behind Smarter Protection
What Is AI-ISP?
AI-ISP is an image signal processing module enhanced by AI. It helps the camera make real-time decisions that improve image clarity. The VIGI TP-Link system analyses lighting, movement, and noise in each frame. Then it adjusts exposure and colour to deliver a more accurate picture.
It also uses multi-AI noise reduction to clean up grainy footage. Instead of simply smoothing the frame, it removes noise while keeping detail intact. This is ideal for night footage, where traditional cameras tend to lose clarity.
How AI-ISP Enhances Night Vision
AI-ISP provides several benefits that MSPs will appreciate:
- Lower image noise, so scenes look clean and sharp
- True-to-life colour accuracy even in dim spaces
- Reduced motion blur for clearer subject movement
- A wider visibility range so clients see more of the scene
Together, these improvements help the VIGI InSight S345S outperform standard IR cameras, especially in outdoor areas with uneven lighting.
Full-Colour Night Vision — Without Extra Lighting
ColourPro 2.0 Night Vision
One of the biggest challenges in night surveillance is maintaining colour accuracy without turning on bright external lights. ColourPro 2.0 solves this. It captures full-colour images even when the spotlight is off. This reduces energy use and avoids attracting insects that may trigger false alerts.
Clients no longer need added floodlights, which can increase their power costs and create visual noise in footage. With this feature, the VIGI 4MP Outdoor ColourPro 2.0 Camera produces sharp and vibrant images at night.
Intelligent IR–White Lighting
The VIGI InSight S345S uses intelligent IR-white light switching. When a person or vehicle enters the frame, the camera automatically activates white light for clearer colour detail. When no subjects are present, it returns to IR mode. This ensures:
- Better visibility of licence plates
- Clearer images of clothing and faces
- Less glare and fewer blind spots
This smart lighting system allows more accurate detection while helping clients reduce unnecessary energy use.
Advanced AI Analytics for Smarter Detection
People & Vehicle Analytics
AI analytics helps security teams find what they need faster. The VIGI system can identify attributes such as:
- Vehicle type
- Upper body colour
- Hair length
Clothing details
This speeds up post-event searches, making it ideal for MSPs managing multiple camera feeds.
Human & Vehicle Classification
With human and vehicle classification, the camera filters out irrelevant motion. It can recognise people and vehicles while ignoring animals, insects, or shifting light. This improves accuracy and cuts down on false notifications.
Smart Detection Features
The VIGI InSight S345S also supports:
- Intrusion detection
- Region-based movement tracking
- Line-crossing alerts
- Tamper detection
These features work alongside AI-ISP and ColourPro 2.0 to create reliable, round-the-clock monitoring.
Smarter Video Enhancement for All Conditions
The camera includes several enhancement tools:
- True WDR to balance bright and dark areas
- Smart IR to prevent washed-out subjects
- 3D DNR to clean up noise between frames
- Accurate white balance for consistent colour
These technologies improve performance in high-contrast conditions. Examples include:
- Warehouses with mixed lighting
- Car parks with vehicle headlights
- Restaurants and bars with mood lighting
- Farms and orchards with low ambient light
Each enhancement helps clients see more detail, day and night.
Ideal Use Cases for MSPs and Resellers
The VIGI Insight S345S fits many environments:
Commercial Spaces
Shops, restaurants, and bars need colour accuracy without harsh lighting.
Industrial & Logistics
Warehouses and depots benefit from its long-range clarity.
Outdoor & Rural
Farms, car yards, and wildlife sites need cameras that work well without extra lights.

Installation Flexibility and Integration Options
The camera offers:
- IP67 weatherproof protection
Two-way audio
- Alarm IN/OUT compatibility
- MicroSD support up to 512GB
- VIGI NVR and VIGI Security Manager integration
This flexibility helps MSPs deploy systems that match different client needs and environments.
