ANNKE 3K Lite CCTV Camera System，4CH DVR with Internal SSD 1TB with 2x 1080p Dual-Light Cams, AI Human/Vehicle Detection, Color Night Vision, Remote Monitoring, IP67 Weatherproof

We'd had our previous CCTV system for over 11 years. It'd been moved over that time across four properties.. and it was still working fine up to a few weeks ago. Bought from Maplin, it was a low res analogue system, but suited our needs over the years. That said it went pop, and I started looking online for a replacement. What drew me to this system, was the fact that I could use my existing BNC/12v cabling. It was a doddle to set up. I quickly plugged in all my original cameras, and bingo up and running. I thereafter replaced the old cameras for the new HD ones, and was stunned by the increase in quality and the wide angled nature of the views compared to my previous ones. On my previous system, it was a nightmare setting up router port forwarding to view the CCTV online. Not with the Annke system, it was a total piece of cake. It works great on the Android app, and with regards to viewing on the laptop, it transpired that I could view the cameras on my existing EZVIZ PC software, which was a totally unexpected bonus. So now we can view our external CCTV Annke cameras and our internal IP wireless EZVIZ cameras all in the same place. So I was genuinely delighted by the system, it was working fantastically, and all at a great value price. About 10 days in, it did however develop a problem. The hard drive failed, and it was showing "abnormal" in the settings and it wouldn't record or playback. I contacted Amazon, and their response was to send the entire kit back for a refund. This wasn't acceptable, as I just wanted either the box replacing as a unit or for a new hard drive. Ultimately I requested that they give me contact details for the seller. After common sense correspondence with the seller, they had me carry out various test. I was lucky in that I had an old hard drive lying around, and ws able to swap it out. It worked perfectly for days, but as soon as I put the old one back in, it would fail within minutes. It was conclusive that the hard drive had failed. The seller arranged a replacement hard drive and asked me to be patient. In all honesty I expected it to take weeks for it to arrive, but the reality was that arrived in two days! Great customer service. So now the new 1TB is running perfectly, and we're really happy with it. You couldn't have asked for more. Going down Amazons route of returning the whole kit would've taken an age to take everything down, repackage, and then have to reinstall everything... so we were really happy with the sellers helpful approach. Anyway I'll wrap it up there, hope this review is helpful. Thanks for reading.

I like this company. As a total newbie to CCTV I bought their DVR with a harddrive and 2 cameras, which my electrician wired in. The mobile and desktop apps were easy to download and eventually easy to use (it always takes ages to set up the first time though) but I had an issue with the timestamp showing the wrong time, even though I set up the correct timezone. I emailed technical support and got the issue resolved after a couple of days of to-ing and fro-ing. As the images are such good quality (even on the night vision setting), I spend far more time than I should watching what's going on at the front of the house :)

Live this CCTV, spent weeks deliberating over which to buy and this was the one. Does everything I need it to do, has an App too. Very happy with the system. Easy to install, plug and play.

A Good Item, easy communication, my recommendations, Thank You!

I have this unit in my car garage with a old TV I don't use I got 2 cam's with my set and they was as easy as 3 screws each cam and a fue wire clamps on wall and job done this unit dose not need a internet connection or a subscription like the other scams systems out there and if your new to a CCTV system I would recommend it as set up is so easy to secure and record your home and you all so get a free CCTV stickers in the box to stick on ya windows there is all so a free usb mouse and ya do not need a keyboard for it

Very poor picture quality. You can't see the number plate. Blurry faces. Cheap material. Not value for money. Easy to insand setup. All things in the box what you need.

This system was bought, basically for the DVR, to replace an existing DVR. My existing system had 4 cameras and, as the new purchase came with 2 No. cameras, I was able to add the new cameras. Initial problem was that one power supply didn't work but I contacted Annke and they are sending a new power supply. What surprised me was that the new cameras are better than my existing cameras and so I have ordered 4 more cameras from Annke.

Excellent product. Needed a bit of time to set it up but no regret. Lots of features, very good vision, nigh vision and picture quality.
