ANNKE C800 4K Wired PoE IP Camera, 8MP Ultra HD PoE Camera, IP67 Outdoor Surveillance Camera with Human/Vehicle Detection, Color Night Vision, Built in Mic

I bought this Annker C800 and a C500 at the same time, I’ve had a few different Chinese IP cameras over the years and I’d say the C800 is one of the best I’ve seen, especially for the price: - Incredible picture quality - 4k@15fps, then higher FPS for lower resolutions, decent night vision too. - Very wide field of view with minimal fish eye effect - Cleaver, tool free method of positioning the camera... far better then fiddly grub screws. - Premium build quality. - Plug-in free WebUI. HTML/CSS for the menus and HTML5 for the browser steam with no need to install any dubious Active X/browser plug-in’s. - Supports H265 compression, but not H265+ (With Annke firmware). Im using this with Xeoma in a Linux VM, however this camera supports RTSP (again, same URL string as Hikvision) so should work fine with pretty much any NVR. As others have pointed out this is very similar to the Hikvision DS-2CD2085FWD-I, so much so that I’m willing to bet that’s why the firmware upgrade button is hidden in the Web interface 😜 With the Hikvision firmware the main improvement I noticed is you have the option to enable H265+ encoding plus a few other options such as the ability to enable SSH and a few basic ONVIF settings, unless you have a specific use case for H265+ (or you’re a geek) the shipped Annke firmware is perfectly fine for most people. Tl;dr - if you’re looking for a good value, crisp 4k stream with H265 support, excellent night vision, excellent build quality, decent Web interface this is the one I recommend.

Very professional unit. Password security required before anything. Usable immediately then, but with many settings available to tweak whatever bits you want to. Very very satisfied. I wanted to use this with ONVIF, which must be enabled. (Configuration - Network Settings - Advanced Settings - Integration protocol tab). After that I could use it with PC software. I use Netcam Studio, I found it the most useful after trying about 6 programs. A few wouldn't pick up my other domestic camera, a couple had long image lag) I found the default video to be slightly blurry, when really I wanted sharp stills for security pictures. There are of course image settings for this (configuration - Image - common/day/night). there are iris (shutter speed) settings from 1/3 of a second to 1/10000 and even 1/100000. I have no clue how well these might work with a lot of light, for my uses a nice 1/500 was perfect for recognising faces at 50 feet. This setting was no good with auto-switch night cam as it just became black. I set it to 'scheduled-switch' and that allowed me to put separate image and exposure settings for day and night. It will mean me going back every month or so to adjust the dawn/dusk times, but this is a small effort for such strong day/night controls. I set my night iris to 1/25, this gives me fairly sharp faces without compromising the image too much. Noise controls helped here too. Overall, a superb, very adjustable camera. No wifi, doesn't come with a PSU or net cable, which suited me fine as I wanted it to replace a failed camera that I already had ethernet cable directly for. I will soon replace all my cameras with these. Update: Just bought another from Annke, version I91BL. Setting scheduled switching day/night for variable iris, is now six optional modes. There is a month by month scheduler to select when you want each mode to be active, max 4 per day. More complex but more flexible.

mine developed a fault very shortly after installation. the Annke team were very good once they heard about it, despatching a new unit that has worked flawlessly since being installed. One star removed for the time and energy needed (and the ladders!) but can't fault the product or the company.... Thanks to Maggie!

First impressions of this camera were based on its appearance and well thought out design of the mounting bracket with a single point of adjust. Just simply unlock the large plastic nut by hand and adjust the camera position and lock the nut , that is it you are done. The camera in my opinion is very compact for a bullet type design, which I liked. The web login screen and configuration is a clone of Hikvision and I found the camera was detected by the Hikvision NVR as plug and play and did not require to be manually added. Just needed to modify the cameras IP address to match the range on the NVR being used. The picture quality during the day was good and clear when looking at stationary objects. However the live footage and recorded footage was not so good at night, possibly due to it being a 4K camera with only a maximum of12fps. This resulted in moving objects at night being very blurry and lots of ghosting was present. I tried to reduce this the best I could by change the settings and trying different resolutions etc. It would not identify peoples faces at night let alone pick up number plates of a moving car. Unfortunately I found one of the cameras weakness and let downs was its poor night footage and very low Frames Per Second at 4k (8mp) was 12fps, resulting in motion blur. When I purchased it the description did say it had a zoom lens, which I contacted the seller about and they corrected this error. This would probably suit a situation with no moving objects and only day time footage is required, if you want more then maybe considered something else. There does not appear to be any new or old firmware available for it and I got the impression its not readily available even you asked for it, so you could be stuck on the same firmware for the life of the camera. I feel its a little over priced for its offerings.

I bought 3 of these in total so far after buying the turret version as well and realising how easy it was to configure against my 4K Hikvision NVR. I bought these when there was an offer on and will look out for further offers as I need another 12 of these! I also bought a branded Hikvsion turret camera. These Annke cameras are far more responsive and have more feature support than the actual HV camera which surprised me. I expected it to be the other way round. I will 100% be buying more of these to fill my 16 channels up. Just need those offers to pop up. For use on the HV NVR, you just need to plug the camera direct into your network (not the POE on the NVR), used one of the readily downloadable config tools to get the IP address (or get it from within your router), then connect to it via a web browser on HTTP and give it a password (I used the same as my NVR), and most importantly, enable ONVIF. That said, it does connect using plug n play mode as Hikvision protocol so maybe it would work without ONVIF on. I might try it.

As another reviewer suggested, this is simply a downmarket Hikvision unit and in the unit I have the firmware update options were hidden in the web interface. A quick bit of Chrome debug tab to "show" the hidden section and I was able to update this using the Hikvision G1 platform firmware and add all the extra features I expected to see. Note that the unit I received did NOT have a micro SD slot and so without the firmware update to allow network disk recording it would require an NVR to work for you. The video quality is excellent, comparing to a Geovision 1080p cam from 5 years ago that cost 10x as much. Night vision is also much better overall. Just started playing with the on-board motion events so cannot comment much but they seem to do the right thing. The three images - assuming Amazon allows them through - are the one I received in a single email after changing the motion detection area to cover the "path" area of my rather worn garden.

This camera is a terrible option if you want a simple CCTV set up - the camera is easy to install but fro there it become a problem - I use Mac and the software I needed to download came up with a serious alert when I tried to install it - Mac OS would not allow me to actually install in the end. I then tried to use the camera with security spy, but the streams would not work. I am frankly now convinced this camera is worthy of its price and I suspect that the camera is full of spyware - I’ve taken it down and bought a traditional brand which worked out the box.

Bought 2 of these for the front and back of a property. They have a great field of view and can cover the whole front and back areas of the house. The night vision on them works well. The camera has ample settings for you to configure, and I've had no issues getting it to work on the XProtect NVR software. Depending on your setup you might also wish to buy the camera juntion box, this will allow you to conceal the extra cabling.

The ANNKE 4K PoE Camera is an outstanding security solution that delivers sharp and detailed video, reliable motion detection, and easy installation. After using it for a few weeks, I am very satisfied with its performance. Pros: - Crystal-clear 4K resolution provides excellent image quality, even in low-light conditions. The details are sharp, making it easy to identify faces and objects. - Smart person and vehicle detection significantly reduces false alarms. The system accurately differentiates between human movement, vehicles, and other motion. - PoE (Power over Ethernet) makes installation simple with a single cable for both power and data, eliminating the need for extra wiring. - Durable outdoor design with a solid build, resistant to harsh weather conditions. It has held up well in rain and cold temperatures. - Compatible with various NVR systems and supports remote access, allowing me to check footage from anywhere using the ANNKE app. Overall, this camera is an excellent investment for home or business security. The combination of high resolution, smart detection, and easy setup makes it one of the best options in its price range. I highly recommend it.

La cámara funciona bien, presenta buena calidad de imagen y el micro se escucha perfectamente. Si bien algunos programas de videovigilancia pueden dar problemas a la hora de configurarla por ONVIF, la detectan sin problemas como Hikvision genérica. Pero solo le doy 4 estrellas porque aparece anunciada como cámara POE y sin embargo la unidad que yo he recibido lleva un conector doble de alimentación+datos RJ45. Si solo se conecta mediante el cable de datos, esperando que sea POE, la cámara no enciende, por tanto obliga a poner un adaptador pasivo de POE a datos+alimentación. Una pena...

Facile da configurare per NVR Dahua -collegare con alimentatore 12v DC (non fornito e non in dotazione) e cavo LAN al router -scaricare il software dal loro sito per individuare sulla rete la telecamera -registrare telecamera e creare account amministratore -configurare per la vostra LAN -andare sulla pagina web della telecamera e attivare l'account Onvif per poterla aggiungere al NVR -sull'NVR ora compare da poter aggiungere. Una volta terminato scollegare dall' alimentatore e collegare con il cavo LAN Poe.

Impossible de faire fonctionner la caméra Retour amazon

Telecamera ben fatta, purtroppo ho dovuto fare il reso perché incompatibile con il pc. Le istruzioni sono inutili ed anche con il suo programma risulta difficile utilizzarla. Lascio comunque 3 stelle perché probabilmente il problema sta nel pc, quindi controllate bene se compatibile prima di acquistarla.
