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

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!

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.

Let me start out by saying this is a great system for the money hands down. Now let me tell you the things that bother me about it. 1. Motion detection is a joke , you can adjust it but I have yet to find a setting that works like I expected it to. 2. And this one is a bit funny but the cameras have red IR lights all around the lense for night viewing. We'll at my house that seems to attract spiders and they build webs right in front of the cameras witch is not a problem till night time the IR light illuminates the webs and thats all you see....lol so now I have a duster on a pole to clean them off every other day. But other then that I love this system great cameras nice picture the zoom is pretty good as well . Your not goingbto read a license plate or make out a face far away but works well. I have had several compliments from friends and family that have seen the system for themselves and can't believe it was so cheap. I like it and would definitely buy it again even if I knew about the other stuff first . Oh and the remote viewing from your phone works great the pictures of the system working are from my phone . It was an overcast day and still great pictures and the night viewing is incredible you won't be unhappy if you buy this system as long as you understand it's not the best but for the money I think it's a no brainer
