ANNKE 8 Channel 3K Lite H.265+ AI DVR CCTV Camera System with 1TB Hard Drive, 2x 2MP Color Night Vision Security Camera Outdoor, Human/Vehicle Detection, Email Alert with Images, IP67 Waterproof

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.

The ANNKE 8 Channel CCTV system is well made and straightforward to install. The cameras are clear, the dual-light color night vision works well, and the 3K Lite DVR with 1TB hard drive offers plenty of storage. Setup was simple and the app interface is intuitive. The system performs reliably and the build quality feels robust, with IP67-rated weatherproof cameras that should last outdoors. Everything looks professional and functions as expected. Unfortunately, this system didn’t have the specific features I needed for my setup, so I ended up returning it. It’s a solid product for someone whose requirements match its capabilities.

Very good camera system for the price extremely easy to install i would recommend this product to family and friends

Doubt you will get better at this price...my swann system had started playing up, so decided to replace it...chose this system after a lot of research, easy to install and set up( after reading instructions), great quality images and recording...it's early days, but I think this may prove to be better than my old swann system...I would recommend this system to anyone.....I have had the system up an running now for over 2 weeks, and I would say the image quality is far superior to my old swann system, both day and night crystal clear..very very impressed...

Easy to use and quality feels good. Picture not the clearest on the market, particularly the night vision, but great for the price.

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 difficult setting up, spent days and still unable to vew my cameras live or even the recordings...

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

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