ANNKE 8 Channel Outdoor Security CCTV Camera System, Smart Human & Vehicle Detection, 3K Lite DVR with 1TB Hard Drive and 4 x 1920TVL 2MP Home Security Cams, Dual-light with Color Night Vision, IP67

After 9 years continuous operation my old very expensive system failed, I took some time researching a Replacement and finally settled for Annke 8 chanel dvr including hard drive with 4 cameras. It took less than 60 minutes to connect my existing 8 analog cameras and set up the dvr and download the app to my phone, set up was very easy including my phone connection, the instructions were clear and simple to follow. On completion all 8 cameras working perfectly with clear sharp pictures, I have not used the 4 cameras supplied will save for later use. This system is without question great value for money, excellent build and picture quality which was a question always in the back of my mind considering the relatively low purchase cost. Its now been operating for a few days so my only question now is will it stand the test of time? But yes I can certainly recommend this product.

I purchased this system after looking at many different CCTV camera bundles, and I am very pleased with it. Arrived quickly, and everything just as described. I opened the case of the DVR unit and found a 1TB Toshiba hard drive fitted. Quality of all the items appears to be very good. The system is easy to assemble and I had no problems with the instruction booklet and CD provided. I tested the cameras / system before starting fitting and everything worked perfectly. On turning off lights the CCTV cameras instantly switched to night mode and the picture in my view is exceptional for the cost of this system. The DVR has option for up to 8 cameras so options to update if more needed etc. In terms of getting properly up and running - it has taken me 3 days to fit the system inside and out. Depending on where you want to put cameras I would say the cables provided should be suffice for most, ( My installation fitted to 4 bedroom detached property without any problems, and with cable to spare on all 4 runs. ) The cable runs actually presented the biggest challenge as I wanted system to be neat and tidy and not seen. Thankfully my walls have internal cable ducts through which I could feed all of the video leads to where I wanted, but it was tricky! I also made my own external wall mounts onto which I fitted each camera.( *By doing this it allows the full rotation of cameras on the mounting cup spindle and also up /down elevation to place camera viewing angle exactly where needed.) I also fitted external weatherproof cable junction boxes to house the video cable connectors, to prevent any water getting in etc. Once fully up and running I am very impressed with the functionality of the system - easy to use and I have personally found no problems with it. I fitted the DVR unit by HDMI to a flat screen 24inch TV / Monitor and the picture is very clear. Playback equally clear and quite easy to use. Online: - Connecting to the Sannce web browser - I found this very straightforward - I am using Windows 10 home desktop and my laptop / pad - Login is secure and I can view my cameras without any problems - absolutely delighted with this feature. I haven't tried motion detect as I don't require this feature - I have set my system on record 24/7 and it will just overwrite data as required. Time will tell how this system fairs and how well external cameras stand up to the weather, but at this stage all in, I rate this system as 5 star for value, quality and functionality.

Bought this system after having an unwanted visitor to our shed. Chose wired over wireless because I do believe it was much easier to install than wireless for where I have put it, which is in the loft. The wires simply run around the loft, out the eaves to the camers on the walls. The first camera was a bit of a faff to install, the rest became easier with the last taking less than an hourfrom start to finish. Pro - for the price you get HD cameras and a HD recorder and everything you need to get going Pro - it comes with software to install on PC and mobile which work - some have said that it didnt work, but it did for us after a little thought. It didnt work automatically and a manual would have helped. This from a guy who generally passes the manual to the wife and says "thats for you" Cons - the instruction manual is not great but its pretty common sense to set up - that is except the software where a good manual would do wonders to improve the system. The system has been designed so that you can just click through the default menu options and it works, all very easy. However stopping the system from triggering when it shouldnt is not so easy. Ours gets triggered by rain which is a tad annoying and headlights.

For reference I bought the 4 camera, 1TB kit. Ignore the Xmas decs mess lol. Has to ask my tradey neighbour to drill walls etc for me - took like half an hour. Fourth camera not decided where to use yet. See the pics - they work really well. Since install we have had frosts and torrential wind/rain. The cameras were not phased by this. The night vision is particularly impressive. Bit clunky software - there is probably a software update but as it works, I'm not bothered. Worked out of the box. Replaced the mouse with a better one but that's my preference. Had to turn off the 'need password everytime' as it's annoying with a long password. Turned off notifiactions also. If you don't you will have hundreds a day - like every car that goes past etc. For me that does not defeat the object as I'm nearly always around. The app works well too - can cycle through the cameras from wherever I may be out and about. It was easy to connect the app to my system too - follow the instructions and you will be ok. Playback, FF and rewind all work great - it's like having your own proffesional outfit at home. Has connections for 4 more cameras too. You can view single camera on screen, 2 cameras, 2+2 and so on also. I had tried a few wireless rubbish cameras - the facts are that yes - just ask a neighbour/mate etc to drill and fit the cameras, run and tack them for you - and it's done. You pay whatever you need to. It's a very easy job for a tradey/handyman etc. I have no ladders etc, but you can easily do it yourself if competent. I am so glad I chose this kit out of the 1.45 million on Amazon. I really am. I have a lot of PC equipment etc, so I am using the cameras on a 21" monitor and it's about the right size I would say. It arrives very quickly due to being from Amazon. It's packed superbly - really proffesional box and packaging to stop damage. If you want you can change the drive to a bigger capacity (it's simply SATA powered) - also if you buy the NO HDD option it's simple to put one in. The 1TB version is plenty to be honest - unless you want to keep stuff for weeks you don't need a bigger drive. If a disaster happens to them in a month or 2 I shall update the review but for now it's a firm 5*.

Very good cctv system for the price, easy to set up and the mobile app works well too, thumbs up from me

We bought this to give us piece of mind. We have some 'undesirables' living in our cul-de-sac and one evening they thought it would be fun to smash headlights on several cars in the street. As our house is opposite the police asked whether we had any CCTV as they couldn't do anything without proof of who actually caused the damage. That was our trigger to get ourselves & neighbours properties protection. I've absolutely no knowledge of CCTV systems but from the little I researched over a day or two this seemed like a good package. The system arrived promptly (as always when ordering with Amazon) and I eagerly opened the boxes. Initially the system looks quite intimidating... 4 cameras, wires, plugs etc., but once you look a bit closer it really is easy. The recording box has room for 8 cameras so the system can be expanded very easily in future. The set up is quite fool proof - wires are labeled for camera/dvr so it's hard to go wrong. We planned to link the system to our bedroom TV (as most of the disturbances are between 11pm-6am), however when I linked it all together there was no picture or system showing on the TV. At first I thought we'd been sent a dodgy box but I tried one of the other TV's and I worked fine. My son said maybe the resolution on the DVR is incompatible with the TV resolution & suggested getting a VGA/HDMI cable... Tried that but still didn't work so in the end we purchased a cheap 19" TV as a dedicated CCTV monitor. Both my husband & myself have been really impressed with the quality of the picture from all the cameras (both during day & night recording). The system & software is very easy to use although we haven't set up remote viewing yet as we'd need to get a Ethernet cable upstairs. We live in an small/average 3 bed semi & the cable supplied was ample to place cameras on the front, side & rear of our property. The cameras cover a surprisingly large area so we have every view covered!! So far (system has been running for almost 2 weeks) I am very impressed and would certainly recommend it to others.

This CCTV camera system was super easy to set up, and everything worked smoothly right out of the box. The cameras provide a clear picture, including color night vision, and the DVR with a 1TB hard drive gives plenty of storage. The smart detection for people and vehicles is a really useful feature, and the build quality feels solid with IP67 weatherproofing. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable and straightforward home security setup.

Good video system. Easy to install and connect, everything you need in the box. Disappointed it doesn’t have sound, therefore returned after connecting.
