SANSCO 3K 8CH CCTV Security Camera System, 8 Channel DVR 24/7 Recording, 8 x 5MP Bullet Dome Camera Outdoor, Color Night Vision, Human Face Vehicle Detection, APP/Email Alert, P2P, No Hard Drive

I am extremely pleased with the SANSCO 8 Channel 5MP CCTV DVR Camera System. The product not only meets but exceeds my expectations in several ways. First and foremost, the camera quality is outstanding. The (8) 2MP Bullet Dome Cameras provide clear and crisp images, ensuring that every detail is captured. Whether it's day or night, the camera's performance remains top-notch, thanks to its excellent low-light capabilities. I feel much more secure knowing I have such high-quality surveillance. The 3TB Hard Drive is a significant bonus. It offers ample storage space for continuous 24/7 recording. I don't have to worry about running out of space or constantly deleting footage to make room for new recordings. This feature provides peace of mind, especially when I'm away from home for extended periods. The installation process was straightforward, and the included instructions were clear and easy to follow. The cameras are designed for wall or ceiling mounting and are IP66 vandalproof, which adds an extra layer of security to protect them from tampering or harsh weather conditions. One of the standout features for me is the mobile viewing capability. Being able to check the live feed and recorded footage remotely on my mobile device is incredibly convenient. Additionally, the motion-activated push alerts and email notifications ensure that I'm immediately aware of any suspicious activity around my property. Finally, I must commend the company's customer support. They've been responsive and helpful whenever I've had questions or needed assistance, which has made my experience even more positive. Their email is [email protected] if anyone should need it. In summary, the SANSCO 8 Channel 5MP CCTV DVR Camera System with (8) 2MP Bullet Dome Cameras and a 3TB Hard Drive is an exceptional product. It offers high-quality surveillance, ample storage, ease of use, and excellent customer support. I couldn't be happier with my purchase, and I highly recommend it to anyone in need of a reliable and robust security system.

General installing is easy, just screw the cameras where you want them, route the cable, plug them into the DVR and you're good to go. They sell extra cables if you need to run longer distances, which you probably will need to. Packaging is proper and nice. The DVR is well protected with really good bubble wrap and each camera comes in a separate carton box with protection. All the power supplies and the mouse comes in a separate box. Really nice. The cameras are 1080p quality and can be adjusted to 720p as required. Day vision is very clear, and night vision also works fairly well, you may fit some floodlights supplementing the IR LEDs on the camera to improve the performance, but as said, their night vision do fairely well. Their app (both Android and iOS) also works fine. I haven't tested out their motion detection so I cant comment on that. Features I like: * You can remotely view all the cameras from another place other than your home * You can view up to 8 cameras on one screen * You can play back multiple recordings at once * You can view them on your mobile devices, PC and laptop, anywhere as long as you have internet access * Image quality is very good, both day and night vision, although you can't zoom in too much because it will become a little bit blurry * Easy to install and setup, almost fit and forget system, plug and play. * Cameras aren't ugly, metal bodies, very sturdy and heavy wires Features I don't like: - Still haven't tried the motion detection but looking back on some reviews, others do mention it is way too sensitive, I need it to continuously record so I leave it on 24/7 recording so motion detection not really a big issue for me - remote playback on mobile phone sometimes take too long to load I will probably update back once I discover more things I don't like but for now everything is quite good, I did have a little problem getting the system up and running but with the help of Sansco we got the problem fixed and everything is fine. I'm 100% satisfied with this product. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a super reliable security camera system. Also they have just sent me a replacement power cord after 5 years of use FOC - Customer service is amazing. 5th Feb 2023

Giving this 4 stars as it has its flaws, but is good value for money. I'll outline the reasons below: Occasionally the system will reboot itself and be offline for 50 seconds. It's not the scheduled reboot and usually happens when I'm using remote playback from the PC app, so is likely a crash. The system does sound the alarm upon reboot to say there was a problem though, so that's good. The apps also have terrible spelling and grammar and are poorly translated. Don't bother with their suggested phone app, use vMEyeSuper or similar. With all the above said, the bullet style camera picture quality is sufficient to pick out a car registration at 20 meters distance during the day, and 10 meters with night vision. The dome cameras have a noticeably lower quality picture, probably from the wider angle/fisheye lens so the domed ones are definitely better suited for indoor or above door installations. Setting up the device will require patience and some technical knowledge, especially for remote access and email notifications. Setting up the alarms and motion sensing areas is relatively straight forward, though some menus aren't intuitive and it took me a good few weeks of occasional digging to find where the video blind/blanking section is. You can schedule times for when the alarm sounds, so it doesn't wake you at night, however this schedule is for ALL settings, for alarm sound, logging, emailing. Now this might be me missing a setting somewhere, but I cannot tell it to stop sounding the alarm during night hours, but still make logs and emails, it will simply turn all of it off if outside the schedule. On the subject of motion sensing, it seems way too sensitive during the night. I will get maybe one or two false alarms during the day, but at night the flies love the night vision infrared LEDs and will buzz around and trigger the alarm every few seconds. I wish I could schedule alarm sensitivity to be a little less sensitive at night. On the infrared LEDs, they do glow a faint dark red at night, making the cameras visible to those that would pay attention. There are arguments for and against this though, Pro: it shows it's not fake, Con: it reveals where they are and could make them a target for vandalism or a planned route of attack. Hard drive space: We chose the 2TB drive because we plan to have all 8 cameras record. At the moment though we only have 5 cameras and are getting just a little less than 2 weeks of video history, so I can't recommend anything less than 2TB space for more than 4 cameras if you want sufficient backdated video storage. Cable quality is poor and they are fragile. We managed to damage one just feeding it through a brick hole and up the cavity and it made the picture drop out. Despite all the above flaws, the unit is good value for money for home use. I would not recommend it for commercial use due to its unreliability and low resolution. A professionally installed 4k system would be better suited for that.

In April 2019 I ordered a Sansco 8 channel cctv system with 8 cameras with a 2 TB Hard drive. As advertised it arrived with a couple of days, well packed and complete with connecting leads already fitted with connectors. I had also ordered some additional cable reels as some of my camera runs were going to be a bit long, they needed routing around the outside of my house to the point where they came into the room where the recorder was to be located. Some of the cable runs did take some time to install but were easily connected and the system was soon up and running. Some of the setup instruction need study but the instructions are very easy to understand and well within the ability of somebody with little or no cabling experience. The system has performed very well with images available on my ipad as well as a dedicated monitor. Any questions I have asked the company have been answered with out fail and very quickly, I need help with one particular setup feature and I recently asked if they had a module that would allow the connection of a radio linked camera, they don't, but the thing is the reply came back overnight. I have full confidence in Sansco and will continue to use their products which are well made and pretty good for prices.

I bought this model from Sansco after some research. This one offered the best value in terms of cameras and Hard Drive. I’m not technically great but found it relatively easy to install. I did have to contact them once and they proved polite and helpful. I would recommend this product on price, efficiency and ease of use.

Bought this system after studying similar CCTV systems. The 2TB disc allows recording for about two weeks with 8 cameras. To save space on cameras installed in "quiet places," I activated the "motion detector" mode. This saves disk space, cameras record only when an object hits a frame. Cable laying technology can be understood with my photos. In some places I managed to hide the cable inside the wall, in other places the cable is reliably closed from external influences. The chambers have a waterproof metal housing. It 's not a bad defense against vandalism. The system has several modes of warning: motion detector, camera shutdown, camera closure by any object... In these cases, the system will alert you with an audio signal or a message. (message - if you connected the system to the Internet.) To avoid data loss, you can duplicate online recording to a server that is convenient to you. In this case, no one can steal your records. The system is easy to install and use. Not a bad quality for cameras of this category. Easily transfer data to USB storage. They work perfectly in night mode. If there are "dark places" on your territory, (a very large garden) they can be further illuminated with an IR spotlight, which will have to be purchased separately. The price of such a spotlight is about £20. A 5 days after the system was installed, one of 8 cameras stopped transmitting the image. The seller sent a replacement very quickly and my CCTV system is perfectly fine again. I recommend the seller, I recommend the system. Answers to any questions can be found on Youtube. Or ask the seller.

Product consists of 8 cameras, a DVR box, some printed instructions, a CD, and a cloud service for remote viewing of data. The equipment: Only tested two of the cameras but they seemed well made. The DVR box is quite simple and it was fairly easy to install the HDD. Instructions: So badly written that each sentence has to be read 2-3 times to interpret its likely meaning. The CD contains instructions that are equally badly written and almost impossible to follow. I quote: "If you are first time to use this, please start here (or follow the introduction in chapter 1.2 1.3 to login), if not, please skip directly." I tried to sign-up for remote viewing via this company's cloud service but I couldn't get past the first page. The HTML form refused to accept the address format provided which was "house name, house number, street name, city name, postcode"... I am a busy company director without much spare time. I got the impression that to continue to try and use this product I would have to spend quite a lot of time on the phone to the company for additional support, hence the reluctant neutral review and return.

As per most of the other reviewers I have had no issues so far. The mountings seem robust and the picture quality, both day and night are acceptable for a system on the lower end of the spec. The IR range seems to be a little further than they state, but then I may be benefiting from the ambient light from the several street lights near my property. Fitting a drive was a breeze, 5 screws on the box, two connectors and then four drive screws and then replace the cover. The set up was simple, the only issue was that the QR code points to a version of XMEye not compatible with the latest Android OS, so went to the Play Store, downloaded the latest version and it was plain sailing from that point. The IR LED's do glow in the dark, so from certain angles will be very obvious, but that said, part of the reason I got was deterrence. The functionality of the DVR system far exceeds that of the cameras supplied, so the system is up-gradable once you feel you need better cameras. The software supports PTZ (Pan Tilt Zoom) via the RS242 interface so that may well be my next step (to replace 1 bullet and 1 dome camera with PTZ cameras - leaving me with spares for the other 6 and an upgraded system). Point of note, cant see anyway of using it or controlling anything other than by wire. If you want wireless options then this is not the system for you. That said, a wired system is far more robust, given how cluttered 2.4 MHZ is any residential area (with the inherent risks of drop outs due to accidental or even deliberate interference). All in all for the price I paid, I am very happy with my purchase. 21 May 17 - Still very happy with the system - paid for itself when we got a clear shot of someone damaging one of our cars - resultant video led to out of court settlement to replace rear screen on car - additionally as its registered local police will sometimes ask for video footage for crime detection - so if its good enough for them, its doing its job!
