ANNKE 8 Channel 3K Lite H.265+ AI DVR CCTV Camera System & 1TB Hard Drive

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.

This product is so easy to set up, including for viewing on my iphone. It's a quality system with no ongoing fees. The cameras lights up after dark when someone enters the viewing space like a small flood light which is a great deterant. The cameras have good clear and wide peripheral views and an optional movement detected alert built into the system. I am very pleased that I found this security system after much research before making my final purchase. Great price, great robust system and fully recommended by me. A one off payment for peace of mind security.

I've been using this for a week or so now, I got fed up with paying the subscription to Ring, so I decided it would be cheaper in the long run to have all-around security without any subscription. Definitely value for money. Easy to set up, day & night vision are pretty good. Zoom is also good. Cables are more than long enough, Hardrive has 1tb storage, which is ample & will overwright anyway. It can be viewed on mobile phone/tablet/computer or mirrored from your phone to tv. I have mine linked from the hard drive to a 60" tv in the spare room. I would definitely recommend this, for the price you can't go wrong.So overall, im very happy with this setup.

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 thedvr 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.

Strange - I thought I had already reviewed this - I came back to update it after months of valuable use! Sannce are the best value of any CCTV system bar none. You get twice the functions at half or in most cases a fourth of the cost. I highly recommend them for your first entry into cctv for your home. I have since bought extra cameras and extra wires to set it up as a 6 camera set up and will probably add another two cameras. All Of which were just a few pounds extra.The set up is ridiculously easy, the app that you can run it on it pretty good (freezes up sometimes though). The remote is junk - try to avoid it for anything other than basic functions and use the supplied mouse for other things.I have also bought my brother a sannce 2 camera set up which he is over the moon with!But mostly my main praise goes to Hanna in customer services who has dealt with all my questions and problems with great aplumb! I first encountered a problem with the internet not reaching the dvr. Turned out the ethernet socket on the dvr was defective. Within days my dvr was replaced with a smaller but more effective one - with a much better remote!One of my cameras started flickering at night recently which was very annoying. I sent them a clip of this and they agreed it had gone defective. I emailed Hanna / Tech support and No Problemo - new camera in the post!Getting into cctv was alien and a bit scary to me as a novice, and Sannce / Hanna has made the experience a pleasurable one. Although there is probably almost certainly better kit out there (and when I have spare cash I will invest) there is nothing to beat sannce for value. And certainly nothing beats Sannce for quality of customer service. I'd give 6 stars if I could.PS all cctv cameras attract moths and consequently spiders. I can recommend a product I have been using called Spidex. Just spray it liberally on and around each camera (avoiding the glass bit - I use a stick with a pringles lid glued to a stick to protect it) Works great - no spiders for weeks!

Just bought (August 2016) and had this fitted by my son-in-law. Really pleased with the quality and functionality of this item. If the cameras are placed correctly you can achieve excellent facial recognition which is essential to help the Police (assuming the faces are not covered) to prosecute. The night time picture is black and white and, is very clear without a light source. If there is a source of light nearby e.g. a street light then the picture is excellent. My only problem was with a passageway view at night where the camera picked up light reflection from the side wall it was mounted on, even though it was not a lit area, and left the forward view shadowed. Resolved this by angling the camera outward a little and the night view improved considerably.The remote control is a little limited being line of sight to the dvr and only operating over a short distance. Using the supplied mouse overcame this limitation. I had contact with customer services on this issue and I found them (Hanna) to be very helpful and quick to respond to my issue. Overall for the price the system is in my view excellent value for money.Follow up - June 2019: The system has worked brilliantly until a week or so ago then I experienced a loss of images on the screen. I tried different configurations/settings to no avail. The system was out of warranty so I thought that's it.As a last resort I contacted ANNKE Support for help and even though the system was out of warranty they came to my rescue (thanks Kate). After the exchange of a couple of emails and following the advice given by Kate she ascertained the power adapter had failed - I immediately bought a replacement from Amazon (£7.99, no postage and same day delivery - good old Prime!!). I replaced the faulty one, plugged it in and hey presto problem resolved. Couldn't ask for a better support service.

The images from the cameras are very clear during the day but you have to be careful where you position them as night images can suffer from ambient light or reflection off of a white wall. Also the cameras are of a fixed focal length which is governed by the height that they are positioned. It would be nice to be able to by a lens to add to them to make the cameras 'wide angled'.In hindsight I wish I had bought a wireless system as positioning of the cameras in relation to the recorder is important and it would have saved drilling holes for the cables.The actual setting up of the cameras and the recorder was very straight forward once the positions were decided, however it did take a while to get the remote facility working as the instructions are not the best.The system came with 4 cameras but has scope for adding a further 4. Now I have everything set up, adding additional cameras should be fairly straightforward.If you are looking for a relatively cheap CCTV system then I would still recommend this, but be prepared to spend a bit of time setting it all up.

Excellent product easy set up any problems they have a phone line to speak with tech.

installation simple, bonne qualité d'image jour et nuit, manque juste une notice en français pour les détails tel la liaison pour internet.

Funcionan bien, la calidad de la imagen es buena aunque no nítida del todo. Se puede almacenar todo en el disco duro interno. Tiene también imagen nocturna y la verdad que se ve bastante bien.Pegas: para poder ver las imágenes desde otro lado (fuera del lugar donde están instaladas) resulta difícil configurarlo, yo tardé una tarde entera (hay que registrarte en una pagina y caerte una cuenta con las cámaras). Un vez superado esto, las imágenes se pueden ver desde cualquier lugar a través de la aplicación VEyeCloud. Yo las veo desde el móvil sin problema. Esta aplicación es de pago para el iPad y gratis para iPhone; para android es gratis y funciona bien también.La 4 cámaras vienen con todos sus accesorios para instalarlas, yo las he instalado en una tienda de mediano tamaño y el cable me ha llegado bien.En general estoy bastante satisfecho, aunque si tuviera que configurarlas de nuevo seguramente tardaría lo mismo (es un poco lío)

So far looks good like the easy set up haven't used cameras as yet running old ones on it really clear

4 Marzo 2015 - Prima recensione16 Marzo 2015 - Aggiornamento recensione (documentazione)27 Marzo 2015 - Aggiornamento recensione (DDNS)23 Luglio 2015 - Finalmente montate.10 Dicembre 2016 - Aggiunta premessa.Premessa========chiariamo una cosa,questi tipi di kit, hanno sì le telecamere in digitale, ma il segnale è trasmesso in analogico (a scelta tra PAL o NTSC),la cui definizione massima (PAL) è di 625 linee a 50 Hz. Il che non è un granché come definizione.Se si vuole una definizione più alta,bisogna rivolgersi su sistemi molto più costosi dove il segnale è trasmesso in digitale.Recensione=========Questo kit mi è piaciuto per il prezzo e per le telecamere con filtro meccanico.Acquistato per un totale di 249 euro (spedizione gratuita), 1TB di disco rigido da 3"1/2 incluso, dal venditore SANNCE, residente negli UK, (quindi niente tasse doganali).Ordinato Giovedì 19 febbraio 2015, è arrivato martedì 24 febbraio.Il kit è arrivato con le spine di tipo G, inutilizzabili da noi. Il fornitore, dopo una mia mail, mi ha immediatamente spedito gratuitamente gli adattatori per le nostre spine (via posta prioritaria), che sono arrivati a tempo di record: 2 giorni lavorativi.Come si vede di giorno?La definizione delle telecamere è onesta a quanto dichiarato: 800TVL, più che sufficiente per i miei scopi. Cercate su Youtube CCTV 700TVL, 800TVL, 1000TVL per capire la differenza.Come si vede di notte?Il filtro meccanico funziona perfettamente, e la visione è sorprendente per il prezzo del kit.Allego due screenshot presi a circa 12 ore di distanza.Manualistica cartacea essenziale ed in inglese.Applicazioni e Manualistica digitaleIl kit è provvisto di Mini CD, contente documentazione approfondita (in inglese) più il software per gestire il kit sia in in LAN che via Internet.Il software del DVR è intuitivo e volendo si può impostare la lingua in italiano. Sono tantissime le opzioni, davvero complete (Registrazione continua, o in base al calendario per ogni canale (gestione Allarmi, Interruzioni video, allarmi via mail, ecc.).Tutto il software da installare sugli smartphone, PC ed Android TV Box è licenziato con il numero di serie del DVR.Molto comodo il QR code che ti rimanda immediatamente al market del tuo telefono per scaricare l'App per vedere il DVR remotamente.Nella mia rete locale abbiamo due Android box TV, stranamente l'App dichara che non è installabile sul Minix NEO X7; ho risolto con un'altra App della stessa serie (MyEye). Nessun problema sull'altro box né sull'iPhone 4s.Il fornitoreMolto cortese e disponibile, si è dimostrato serio sia per la velocità con cui ha risposto alle mie domande (in inglese) che con le velocità con cui mi ha spedito gli adattatori.DDNS - Servizio necessario per chi non ha un indirizzo IP pubblico staticoQuesto DVR offre la possibilità di utilizzare fino a 5 diversi operatori di DDNS:1) CN99 - che ho dovuto scartare perché il sito è in cinese.2) DynDns - scartato perché è diventato a pagamento3) Oray - idem4) No-IP - (gratis a certe condizioni)5) Myq-see - Ho scelto questo perché ancora gratuito in data odierna (27/03/2015)Il sito di Myq-see è molto semplice, ed offre plugin per Windows e Linux.Il servizio funziona perfettamente: semplice da configurare nel DVR, mentre per la configurazione del router, dipende da quello che possedete.

Oltre ad essere pienamente soddisfatto del prodotto, giunto nei tempi prestabiliti e di facilissimo montaggio, a distanza di 20 mesi dall'acquisto, in seguito a problematiche riscontrate sul DVR (probabilmente dovute ad uno sbalzo di tensione) il servizio clienti ha sostituito il prodotto in garanzia senza alcun problema.
