Annke 8CH 720P 1080N Security Camera System 1TB Hard Drive Pre-installed w 8x 1.30Megapixels 1280*960 Weatherproof Bullet Cameras Smart Recording Easy DIY QR Code Scan Remote Access

Anke is the camera CCTV hardwired system that no other system can compete with in my opinion. I've tried others over many years and I can't let go of the fact that once I got to know how this NVR interface works and easily got comfortable with it I think it is the least complicated of them all. I'm hooked. My favorite part of the display settings is the smart analysis. This actually shows you all of the visual clips on any camera any day with all the 30 second clips of activity for the day of cars or humans instead of searching for files in a directory like other DVRS. So cool. It visualy helps you zero in on the what you want to quickly view saving you time. Snipping a video clip is simple enough in the playback mode and copying it to a flash drive if needed for evidence like I had to. The cameras that come with this system are great through the day and night color or inferred vision is clear. I can say that Anke has cameras that are more superior that will work for this system up to 5K and 5MP but for your bang for the buck you will capture every event with a great picture and video footage with this package day and night. I feel very confident that my home and vehicles are protected with this surveillance system. Your vehicles are far too expensive not to have security cameras on them day and night. It's a good deal for 240.00 bucks to protect a vehicle. Set up is not hard at all but if you have an existing system like I did, rewire with the BNC cables supplied by Anke. From experience I found this out and the cameras did not preform well with older existing cables. If the run of the wire is way more than what you need then roll the excess and wire tie what remains, just use them. Over the years I had very few technical questions about anything and I always got answers from Anke technical support and a lot of times they gave me more than one solution and they always followed through until my problem was resolved. They were very courteous and always followed through until the problem was resolved. Mostly my fault for being anxious not reading instructions properly. The Anke vision app works great and if you have a camera that captures audio it also comes in crystal clear over your phone using the free Anke app. I feel very confident surrounding my home with this system and these eight cameras and you will also. Buy it!

I bought this ANNKE security camera system to replaced my old Samsung cameras, since the dvr and three of the cameras stopped working, also the value, excellent less than half of what I paid for my other ones, three years ago, luckily for us these cameras use the same cables, so it was an easy replacement, the dvr was easy to setup and after that just plug all cables back and replaced the old cameras outside for the new ones. As I said this were simple to install, did not take anytime to connect the signal and display on my monitor. The advanced 2MP sensor enables the camera to capture the best 1080p Full HD images without noise, regardless day or night. Smart IR provides up to 100 ft night vision, no overexposed or underexposed image issues. The phone app was extremely easy to setup and well it works great, we were never able to installed the app or see our cameras online with the Samsung system. You get everything you need inside the package an 8CH H.265+ 5MP Lite DVR, eight 2MP Bullet Cameras, eight60 ft BNC Cables & CCTV Cables for Cameras (It’s NOT a wireless camera system, but we provide a 60 ft cable for each camera.), three Power Adapters, four to one Power Splitter Cables, eight Mounting Screw Kits, 5.9 ft/1.8 m HDMI Cable, USB Mouse, User Manual, Wall Sticker and 1 TB Security-Grade Hard Drive (Pre-Installed Inside the DVR) These cameras are doing exactly what I needed, the clarity is great, the night time view is impressive. (Check my video and pictures), they are also activated on motion and on the software you can setup notifications, if you like, we are very happy with our purchase. Recommended.

I purchased this to replace an older system from a different company that no longer had maunfacture's support. The price was decent, and the reviews were good, so I decided to give this system a try. My intent was to just swap out the DVR unit and keep the new cameras as backup, but I found two of the old cameras had lost some function, so I had to go ahead and swap them out too. THE GOOD - This was fairly easy to set up, once I figured out all the necessary steps. The instructions are just mediocre. The display on my TV is sharp and clear, and its easy to navigate the menus. The phone app is really good. It was very easy to set up, and extremely responsive. With the old system, I constantly had connection issues with the unit. I've been using the Annke system and app for over a week, and its performed flawlessly. THE BAD - The BNC connectors on the unit are cheap and very stiff, and I had a heck of a time attaching my camera cables. One connection was so tight that I actually forced a connector free from the case, but luckily it still functions. The cameras that I switched out, while they work well in night mode, are not as good as the original cameras. The images during the day are not quite as crisp or clear. I guess thats to be expected at this price. Overall, I'm happy with this purchase. Hopefully it will last at least as long as my older system did.

I waited until 6 months after installing this camera to write a review. This product is AMAZING! The picture quality is great, the functionality is very effective, the price for such quality and numbers of cameras is super! I love these camera and I've not experienced any issues with them since I've tried them out for a few months. They even provided exta light at night whenever the camera detect someone, it will come on asking like a motion detector outside light. Thats definitely a wonderful bonus! The only thing is the motion detector is overly sensitive and doesn't go off for just animals n people. It even goes off at times for spiders crawling on the camera and even for rain drops which is annoying a bit. But these are not such a big deal when you compare quality of product and the price! So I highly recommend this camera system.

My new obsession!! The system has been up for less than 1 full day and I'm having far too much fun watching the cameras. I have been looking for a good camera system for a while now and after a few car break-ins near by and new construction causing traffic to come down my once quiet road, I finally decided on this system. I read the reviews and compared it to other systems. Honestly, I chose it for the price point and because it had 8 wired cameras, which is what I wanted and needed (WiFi isn't good enough to support wireless cameras). I was told by a highly tech savvy relative that for $250 it was gonna be a junk system and I would regret my purchase. Well, so far I am very happy with my purchase, thank you very much! Installation was meh, I did have an electrician friend come help us run the wires through the soffits, into the attic and down the interior wall, because who really wants to climb around in an old Florida attic, but the rest we were able to do easily. Mounting and aiming the cameras was fine, setting up the DVR wasn't an issue, installing and setting up the Android app only took a few minutes. Being that we're not super tech savvy, I'm glad it isn't too difficult to use. I'm still messing around with the settings and trying to figure out how not to get a notification for every bug that flies by at night, but I'll get there. The cameras have a very clear picture both day and night. Even at night I can see my boat on the boat lift clearly, which is about 100 feet away. During the day I can see down the road to the neighbors house where my kid likes to play. With the exception of that one camera, we strategically aimed the other cameras to protect our neighbors privacy. We try to be considerate like that. We have the DVR run to our living room TV so I can see everything on the big screen. I can zoom into the live image and pan around while it's zoomed in from both the DVR and phone app, which is cool. I can even snap a picture while it's zoomed in, which is even cooler. The image does get a bit grainy on the TV, but is clearer on the app. I think the cameras might have sound since there is a sound icon and volume adjustment, but I haven't played with that yet either. Not to talk through from inside, but to hear what's going on outside. Again, not sure, but will fiddle with it later. The app is easy to use and I can set up alerts through it. I have them turned off right now because at night it's super sensitive and alerts me for every bug that flies by. In Florida, living on the water, that's a big problem. I hope I can figure it out because I would like to receive alerts for animals (think coyotes, gators and snakes) and people, but not for bugs, wind and rain (cuz, Florida). I like that my husband and I can have the app on our phones and check-in anytime we want to. I can't help but wave or do a little dance in front of the cameras everytime I walk by them just for fun. I haven't played with the DVR settings too much yet, so I can't say how easy or difficult it is to navigate. Overall, for a $250 system, I am very happy with my purchase! It gives me peace of mind that my property is protected, I can see the kids outside playing and running around even when I can't be out there to watch them and if the system only lasts a year or two, I'm not really gonna be mad at it.
