【Work with Alexa】SANNCE Wireless CCTV Camera System, 8CH 5MP NVR, 4X 3.0MP Outdoor Security IP Cameras with P2P, One-Way Audio, Dual WiFi System, Human AI Motion Detection(1TB Hard Disk Pre-install)

The media could not be loaded. I am writing this review before I have actually installed the cameras in the outdoor positions. I have set it all up for test before I begin my install to make sure everything is working as it should. This particular systems comes with 4 wireless cameras and the NVR comes pre installed with a 1TD hard drive so everything should be good to go for you straight out of the box. Each camera comes with its own power supply so you will need to factor this into your instillation. The individual cameras need pairing with the NVR unit so this is was I have done before installing them in their final locations. This process is very very simple and takes only a matter of minutes. I have this setup plugged into a TV in my bedroom so I can view the footage their. The interface of the NVR is very easy to use and you can set the motion alerts etc from there. I also have the app downloaded on my phone which means I can view alerts and recordings/live video straight from my desired device such as phone/tablet and PC. So far everything works very very well and I am looking forward to installing the cameras this week, weather permitting. I also like the fact that you can set one of the cameras as a repeater which means it will boost you WiFi signal to another one of the cameras if it is placed far away from the original signal and this is a great feature for me because one of the cameras is going on my detached garage about 10 meters away from my router. I have tested this process and I'm pleased to say it works a treat so now I know I can put the camera exactly where I want it on my garage. So I have to say that this system is very very good and provides a good solid signal with a nice crisp clear image both in day and night situations. The playback process is straight forward and works very very well and the app again is very easy to use and works well. All in all I have to give this system 5 stars because for the price it really really is value for money and you can rest assured you are protected by a quality system.

Ok, this is one of the easiest to set up cctv systems. And that is the main reason why it deserves 5 stars. While setting this up I did not have to refer to user manual or online tutorial and my background is not a cctv installer. It took me less than 10 minutes to have it on and running with all 4 cameras linked and recording started. This is by far the simplest setup I ever did, surprisingly to have them working you don't need any external router, home wifi network, or any other network connection - the cameras itself are wireless and they connect to the recorder (control unit) via its own network.Now more on picture quality, overall performance, navigations of the recorder and build quality. The picture is great as expected from 1080p, it is full HD and recordings in any angles are extremely clear and crisp. You can simply identify car number plates or faces nearby. It does also perform very well in dark mode where you can enable them to perform better at night. I did play with the settings abit where you can manually change mode, from daylight to nighttime or auto and the difference in night mode (when recording while dark) is huge. The unit is not extremely quick on booting (when compared to pc) , but that is exected with slower HDD's and a system like cctv recorder plus you should not have to restart your unit daily and in case of a power loss unit is actually still fast enough to restart, hook back online and start recording again. The menu itself is a bit complicated and I had to spend abut 15 minutes on every single menu item and in item options before I found a way to delete footage. You would expect it to be under 'Video Management' but in Video Management you have all your connected cameras and network settings for each. :)The recording unit itself is well made - all-metal (heavy-duty) unit with 2 removable antennas, areal extender, 2 video outputs on the back (hdmi, vga), network and 1 usb port. It comes with usb hub for extra ports in case you want to plug memory stick for footage backup or software update.Btw it also comes with a tiny (kinder surprise) mouse, it is there only in case if you don't have a mouse, and it is not possible to control unit without one so I give the manufacturer a point for adding one but one thing I can guarantee, unless you use your own mouse - YOU WILL SWEAR ALOT while using manufacturers one.

Setting up the hardware is easy enough (drill n screw to a wall)The connection to wifi can be clumsy, I had to put up a mesh network on 2.4ghz only as the pvr wouldn't pick up main router at 2.4ghz/5ghz even though the pvr box was almost on top of it (I am not a technofile and understand the very basics of routers etc, so this may be due to my lack of knowledge)But after a while managed to get the cameras connected, to the mesh network.The Sannce mobile app is a very hit and miss, mostly disconnected and takes a reboot of the pvr to get the app screening again.As i have attached the brackets to the wall there is no rotation available, be mindful of your placement and view (getting access to power and hidden cables was my main concern) If attaching to the eaves of the house (too high for me to reach) can 180 the camera angle, but fixed to a wall it is static, I needed a 20 degree turn.The pictures are clear for bandwidth i have them on 720p and very very good, 1080p excellent, night vision excellent.Overall very good piece of kit and not to arduous for an individual like me who has a everyday understanding of technology to set up and get working.

Fitted this new system today, straight forward no issues, download the app so I can see everything anywhere, H Drive recorded built in so no additional cost, great system x 4 cameras.
