ANNKE 3K Lite Wired Security Camera System with AI Human/Vehicle Detection, H.265+ 8CH Surveillance DVR with 1TB Hard Drive and 8 x 1080p HD Outdoor CCTV Cameras, Color Night Vision, Smart Dual Light

Very good entry-level surveillance system. This Ennka 8-channel system replaces an 8-year-old, 4-channel, broken, and somewhat similar analog H.264 system. This Ennka is surprising, by a big margin with its way more advanced H.265Pro+, such as:Pros:1-Much better daytime color and image. 2- Camera controls and options are vastly superior. 3-iPhone Annke Vision app is fantastically better and smoother, when you receive a notice of events (movement, etc) very fast, tap on the notice link and it directly takes you to the event where you see the recording with all its information. 4-The sensitivity control is terrific and wide-ranging. My wife thinks that we have adjusted one camera, or so we think, to the point where we can exclude cats walking around but still trigger when a person appears. I like this very much.Cons: Night vision is not so good. Amazon description reads “ANNKE 3K Lite Wired Security Camera System with AI Human/Vehicle Detection, H.265+” which you later realize are not the cameras you get which have fewer features (ANNKE 3K Lite Wired Security Camera System with AI Human/Vehicle Detection, H.265+” but this refers to what the DVR is capable of handling, not the actual cameras you receive. Those in the know about CCTV would not imagine getting the 3K cameras with this very low price package. I wish I had known so that, for a little extra money, I would have purchased the 3K system with its added features: https://a.co/d/fAf5NxL. In truth, it was my lack of knowledge that failed me.But I do recommend this more basic system to anyone since it accomplishes a great deal of surveillance and the latest technology for a very good price. Annke stands behind its products with a very good 2-year warranty. Support is available at Annke.com, Annke.com Chat service, and many videos on YouTube. You do have to put a little effort into learning all the details of this wonderful and fascinating technology so cheaply available.

The media could not be loaded. 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.

This security system is a great product! I feel more secure in my home!! At first I was unsure how to set it up! I contacted Annke security and spoke to ALESJANDRO. He walked me thru the whole process! The pictures are clear!

I spent so much time researching different security camera systems. With such a wide range of prices, features etc. it's hard to decide which one is the right one. After a while, they all start to look the same. The bottom line is, purchase the one you can afford, and the one you can't afford NOT to have. Having a security camera system makes me feel safer knowing I can check on my property anytime, 24/7.This ANNKE 5MP Lite Wired Security Camera System is a decent system. Is it a top-of-the-line, high-end system? No. But, it is a basic system that offers a decent picture and a fairly easy set up. I didn't want to spend a fortune on a system, knowing that after a few years, I would have issues, and or, have to replace the whole system. From reading all of the different reviews on various systems, it sounds like all of these only last a few years before having to replace them and I anticipate the same thing with this one, but we'll wait and see. I'm actually hoping it lasts many years.I am using this system to replace an older system and I was hoping the cameras would be compatible with the old wires so I wouldn't have to run all new wiring, but I think each manufacturer makes it so that all of their equipment isn't used with any others. The hardest part of any hard wired system is running all the wires to the various locations, through walls, through attics, under eaves. It is a very time consuming process, especially if you want a clean installation without a lot of visible wires. Luckily for me, since I was replacing an existing system, I was able to attach the new wires to the old ones and pull them through to the new hard drive.After downloading the software for my computer (I use a Mac), I did have a little struggle getting the cameras to show up but after a phone call with Annke tech support, I was able to get it up and running so I could see the cameras. The phone app was even easier and I was able to see the cameras right away. It's important to write down all of the settings, passwords, etc. because if everything doesn't match, it won't connect.It's only been about a week, and so far, so good. As time goes by, and if I run into any issues, I will definitely update my review.
