What the InSight S245 is for

Buying from Zenith Security Co.

We are a supplier, not an installer. We will go through the InSight S245 with you before you buy, including the PoE budget and the field of view you need, and depending on your requirements and your area we can recommend a qualified trade installer. We have been operating since 2012 and you can visit our trade counter in Wolverhampton.

InSight S245 2.8mm or 4mm?

The 2.8 mm version has a 100° horizontal view and identifies people at up to 6 m. The 4 mm version narrows to 80.4° and identifies at up to 8 m, so it suits longer drives and entrances further from the camera.

Does the InSight S245 work with a non-VIGI NVR?

It works with VIGI NVRs and supports ONVIF Open Network Video Interface (Profile S/T/G), so it can be added to third-party ONVIF recorders. The full set of smart detection features is supported on a VIGI NVR.

Is the InSight S245 PoE powered?

Yes, 802.3af/at PoE, up to 12.52 W. It can also run on 12V DC; the adapter is not included.

Does the InSight S245 record in colour at night?

Yes. The white LEDs can light the scene for full-colour images up to 30 m, or it can switch to IR for discreet black-and-white night vision. The light mode can be set to auto, scheduled, always on or off.

Does it record audio?

Yes. It has a built-in microphone (around a 5 m pickup radius) and a speaker for two-way audio. Check local rules on audio recording before enabling it.
