I purchased the ANNKE wireless camera system for my warehouse. They system is very easy to set up, very plug & play type setup which I like very much, however when I got to the last camera during the setup it was not registering. The light did not come on as the others did and I tried everything I could before contacting customer service. They were very helpful. Since I was at home when I contacted them and not at the warehouse, they did follow ups to allow me to contact them back when I was at the warehouse and we tried every troubleshooting methods. We realized that it was merely a defective camera which no way affected the use of the other cameras and the system. I did order a replacement camera set with the help of customer service and when I received the new one, again simple plug & play. It registered immediately and connected to the system. Overall the system is amazing. I love receiving notifications on my phone from the app. The video quality is great. The attached screenshot is from the cameras I have set up. Two are outdoors and the 3 are inside with no lights on, so you can definitely see that the nigh vision is superb. I have the system set up for continuous recording for little over a month now and only about 9% of the local storage space has been used, so the 2TB was a good option for me. But I might get the additional cloud storage option though in the future. I will be adding more cameras soon and may purchase another additional set for another property. With the great quality of the system and the top notch customer service assistance I received, I am very pleased with this purchase so much that I've already recommended to some people. For the price, service and quality of the product, you can't beat this, A must buy!!

I work in video forensics and have worked with hundreds of different DVR systems. This system was extremely easy to set up. Plug the cameras in and turn on the main unit. That's about it. "Wireless" cameras are great in that you do not need to string an ethernet cable from the DVR to each camera. This is big time saver. But remember that these cameras still require power. So, wherever you place these cameras, there needs to be an power outlet. Not a huge deal, but does limit where you can place the cameras.The DVR interface is easy to use. While it lacks some bells and whistles of some more expensive units, this has been excellent for my home and has worked great so far!Continuous recording and motion recording are available.Camera range is OK and highly depends on environmental conditions. On a clear, nice day, these cameras work great and the signal strength is good. I did notice that once when it was very foggy and misty, that 2 of the cameras located furthest from the DVR lost their signal for a time being.I live in the mountains and always hope that my DVR records wildlife moving around the house. While this DVR does have "Intelligent" detection, it seems to be geared toward human detection and even provided an option for such. It would be nice if this had motion detection technology that weeded out 'non heat' sources from detection, such as blowing leaves, or even a spider web in the camera's view. But I knew before purchase that this particular DVR did not have that ability.Overall, very satisfied so far with this system. You want a system that is easy to set up and require very little to no maintenance after setup. This DVR satisfies those requirements.

This was purchased on November 11, 2025, today is April 21, 2026. This device consistently cuts in and out now. About a month ago, random cameras would randomly cut out for anywhere from a minute or 2, to 10 or 15. Now, the entire systems shuts off and on over and over until I unplug it for a few hours. Then it works again. My past system did the same thing and progressively got worse until it wouldn't work at all. I'm assuming within the next 3 months, this will be trash also. Waste of money.

Very pleased with this system! Very easy to hook up and clear as day

Good system for the price,Relatively easy to installSoftware is a bit generic and not really user friendly the instruction dont help alotBut with just a little messing around you can figure it out,The motions detection doesn't adjust very well I've got it on the second setting and it catches about 20ft from camera but moths and rain set it offcameras work great good quality feedApp works fine but like the dvr software takes some messing around to figure outOne camera of the 8 didnt work on setup, took 2 emails to get new one within a week of 1st email, 1st was a tech support request from thier website 2nd was pictures showing it not working, quick and easy replacement

Surprisingly easy and intuitive setup. The cameras connect to the main unit wirelessly.The quality of the camera is good - picture is clear. When installing the camera you just have to supply power so it has to be fairly close to the power outlet.I was a bit frustrated by the App on the IPhone. At first couldn't get it to work - the system was trying to connect via BT but I don't think that those cameras have that connection ability. I finally figured that I had to use the LAN option to connect through the network. Then the APP found the cameras quickly.

I got this new, however I got the impression it had been returned. There was an antenna extension that was broken and one of the HDR receiver antenna was wobbly and barely attached to the receiver.I contacted Annke customer service. They were responsive but the back and forth explaining the issue was taking for ever so I gave up. They email, no phones, and ask one question each day. I was just trying to find out is the poorly attached antenna would be the cause of the spotty connection. they wanted a video of it wobbling, that's when I gave up. This was on cams I had in my garage watching my dogs, which were at the opposite end of my 2400 sqft concrete home. So the range was not over 100 ftThe picture quality in light is good, the IR is pretty blurry though. There is a lag even at that short range of about 5 seconds from actual movement to video motion, longer if the connection drops, of course.
