Before you believe a bad review about us

We would like to respond openly to every negative review about us. Many are posted anonymously, so we cannot reach those customers directly. This open letter is our reply, and we would be grateful if you took a moment to read it.

But here is what a one-star review will never tell you:

  • We import from 70+ official distributors. That is why you pay far less than local retail — and why delivery takes longer. We publish the date before you pay, never after.
  • You can pay only when your goods land in Johannesburg. Pay on Arrival, no full payment up front. Ask yourself what scammer offers that.
  • Nobody has ever lost money with us. You get the product, or you get a refund. There is no third option, and there never has been.
  • We are part of the ITwork group — ten years trading in Europe, nine stores, thousands of positive reviews.
  • Johannesburg and Cape Town stores open this year — real shelves, real stock, walk in and buy the same day.

We are not satisfied with our review scores, and we are not going to fix them by hiding anything. We are fixing them by being faster, clearer and easier to reach than any reason to complain.

Read the full letter — photos and video of real shipments, and a straight answer to every accusation.

Problem with an order right now? Write to [email protected], [email protected] or [email protected] — answered the same business day. The letter also lists our group and store owners' contacts.

The TP-Link InSight S285 is an outdoor 8MP full-color dome network camera with 3840 × 2160 resolution, a 2.8 mm lens and a 110° horizontal field of view. Designed for ceiling mounting, the camera uses a CMOS sensor and offers wired connectivity. With a detection range up to 85 m and recognition range up to 17 m, the InSight S285 is suitable for monitoring large outdoor areas and perimeters.

Advantages

The camera provides people and vehicle analytics to speed up post-event search by filtering by attributes, and includes human and vehicle classification for more accurate event notifications. Smart video enhancement technologies—True WDR, Smart IR, 3D DNR and automatic white balance—improve image quality in high-contrast, low-light and variable lighting conditions. Efficient H.265+ compression reduces bandwidth and storage requirements while maintaining image quality.

Suitable for

  • Perimeter surveillance of commercial or residential properties
  • Parking lots and outdoor vehicle monitoring
  • Entrances, walkways and public outdoor areas
  • Ceiling-mounted applications for wide-area coverage

Key specifications

  • Resolution: 3840 × 2160 (8MP)
  • Lens: 2.8 mm; Horizontal field of view: 110°
  • Sensor: CMOS
  • Detection distance: up to 85 m; Recognition distance: up to 17 m
  • Form factor: Outdoor dome, ceiling mount
  • Connectivity: Wired network
  • Video technologies: True WDR, Smart IR, 3D DNR, White Balance
  • Compression: H.265+

How to use

Mount the InSight S285 on a ceiling or suitable overhead surface using the included mounting hardware and follow the installation guide to connect the camera to a wired network. Configure resolution, WDR and IR settings via the camera interface or management software. Enable people and vehicle analytics and set detection thresholds to match the monitoring area. Adjust angle and focus during installation to cover the intended field of view.

Recommendations

For best results, position the camera to minimize direct exposure to strong backlight and use True WDR when monitoring areas with mixed bright and dark regions. Use H.265+ compression to lower storage needs and configure analytics sensitivity to reduce false alarms from small animals or moving foliage.
