ANNKE Wireless Camera System, 16CH 4K Security NVR, 8Pcs 3MP Outdoor Cameras(Wired Power), 2-Way Audio, Dual-Band WiFi, Human Detection, IP66 Waterproof, 2TB HDD, 24/7 Protection, Metal Housing

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.

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!!

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

For this price point this system has exceeded my expectations! I added two additional cameras with ease. Remote view works great. Also able to easily view all cameras on living room tv which I really like. Wifi connection to a detached garage approximately 100 feet away from NVR with no issues. It's been running none stop for 5 months.

Great product. A little challenging to set up but if you follow the instructions it will work out fine.

I will give you my pros and cons. I received the system in December 2025. Pros Connectivity: Connecting was a breeze. It is plug and play and very easy to set up. Picture quality is very good, and night vision is about what I expected. Adjusting camera angle is much easier with some adjustments being made without tools. The zoom works very well. You can zoom in quite a bit before it becomes grainy. Cons: Motion detection is flakey. If it set to record only on motion detection, the item being detected is sometimes already out of camera range before it records. It freezes frame a lot. I have two cameras over lapping an area. It will start recording on one camera and by the time the second camera starts recording, the detected object is already out of range of the second camera. Sometimes while watching the display, something will move though the display and when I playback to watch it, it's not there. To see what was recorded, I have to reboot the NVR. I made a mistake by not sending it back, but I thought that I would be able to make it work for me, I couldn't.
