ANNKE 2MP/1080P 4-in-1 CCTV Analog Add-on Security Camera Outdoor, White

Nice camera, small, easy to install and setup. Good value for the pricing involved with an excellent day/night picture. Hopefully it hangs in there for a long time, my last one did (didn't fail, pressure washer took it out). I'll update this review in 6 months. Note: this is the camera only with everything needed to mount it, don't forget to obtain an extension cable for the wiring between the camera and your recorder/display unit.

These cameras are GREAT. I have the Night Owl system and two of those cameras went out. I reluctantly ordered two Annke cameras not sure if they would be compatible with the Night Owl system, they are and WOW what a great picture, I was so impressed. So I ordered 8 more Annke cameras and replaced all of the Night Owls. I am very happy with my purchase and highly recommend these cameras.

A great little camera, with good output. Clear videos. My only complaint that all my other and key cameras have sound that I can listen to what is going on outside. I just figured this one with two, but it does not, otherwise it would get a five star.

I bought an 8 camera dvr that came with 4 cameras, intending to use some of my existing composite video cameras for the remaining 4 ports... Of course after a while with the 720 line cameras, I realized the old 480 line cameras were not very useful, so I have been aching for an upgrade. I looking at the options, and I saw this one was full HD, and it supported the three different standards for analog HD over coax, which is the common signal type for security DVR's. So this camera can use the same cabling as your older low resolution SD 480 line cameras, but it produces the full HD image for hd capable security DVRs. It has a pair of dip switches for selecting beteewn TVI, AHD, CVBS, and CVI. Keep in mind that these standards are analog, so the cable length and cable quality still have a big effect on the signal quality. The camera itself is digital, but the signals for the coax have to be analog for these standards. Comparing the 1080 camera to my existing 720 cameras, the differences are striking, as I have a much larger field of view with the new 1080 line camera. The older model C11N 720 line camers have a narrower field of view, so the ability to resolve details is about the same, but the 1080 has a much larger image. Both cameras have the same 3.6mm lens, but the camera chip on the new camera is larger, giving it a wider field of view from the same lens. So it is kind of hard to do too much of a side by side comparison, but the pixels seem to be about the same size, but now I can see the whole driveway with just one camera. I have some IP cameras I have been working with, and they perform very well, but you must run new cables, or depend on wifi for those to work. The big advantage of this model I am reviewing is I can just replace the existing cameras and not have to run new wires, and enjoy a big improvement, and they cost a lot less than IP cameras. I had a large number of IP cameras, and while I always like them in the begining, they ALL fail within 1 or 2 years, or they keep crashing. The standard cameras that run over coax tend to work forever, I have had zero failures with this camera type. The camera is of sturdy metal construction, just like my other Annke cameras. It comes with it's own swivel mount, with an allen wrench to tighten it once you have it in position. It also has a tripod thread mount you can use if you have an existing mount you want to reuse. The swivel comes right off using the included allen wrench. The metal case is well sealed, I've never had any of my Annke cameras leak or get internally fogged, like some of the cheaper cameras. So it should be very durable. The Annke night vision is superior to others I have used because the LED illuminators have their own glass. separated from the glass covering the lens. This is an important feature, because the other brands of night vision cameras I have tried have one glass covering the camera and LED's, which causes glare when in night mode. The other brands put a black ring behind the glass to block the glare, but the glass conducts the glare right past the ring. The Annke design cures this problem, and produces a clean and clear night vision performance. So once again, Annke has produced a nice, solid performing, affordable camera. It drops into an existing camera installation using the existing wire, and has modes to support the various standards for coax based security cameras, so it should work with most analog DVRs. Installing the cables can be the most expensive part of a security rollout, so it is nice that you can reused your existing infrastructure. Well done, Annke!

The ANNKE 1080p Security Camera exceeded my expectations in every way! The video quality is crystal clear both during the day and at night, making it easy to see important details around my property. The night vision is especially impressive — sharp, bright, and reliable even in very low light conditions. Installation was straightforward, and the camera feels extremely durable and weather-resistant. It has already handled rain and changing temperatures without any issues. The build quality feels solid and professional, not flimsy like some other cameras I’ve tried. I also love the wide viewing angle and dependable motion coverage. It gives me peace of mind knowing I can monitor my home and property clearly at all times. The 4-in-1 compatibility was another huge plus because it worked perfectly with my existing DVR system. For the price, this camera delivers outstanding performance, reliability, and image quality. I would absolutely recommend the ANNKE 1080p Security Camera to anyone looking for an affordable and dependable security solution for their home or business.

great visibility at night better than cameras I got with my system

Image looks great when the lighting is perfect! Unfortunately, the image quality is poor when there's a lot of light in one area but not another. A bright area is all washed out white. ZOSi's have better image quality in this type of situation.

This camera has a very nice picture and the distance clarity is great. The field of vision is a little narrow but given the need the distance would make up for it. The colors are very vibrant. UPDATE Have now had for a couple of months. Recently the night vision has become very limited and dark after about 20 ft. surrounding light is bouncing off headlights of other vehicles parked near by but outline of vehicle not visible. Will be replacing shortly. Well I hate to say this but after I cleaned the lens it works a lot better. not perfect but better and acceptable. I have changed my review to 5 star because it does have a great picture in daytime and an acceptable picture at night. The infra red is not as good as some other cameras I have but now the lens are cleaner it is better. I will say I have never had to clean the lenseon a camera after just a couple months but at least it worked

Nice product

The glass around the camera was broken but it worked very well and it’s very clear

works well

It is used to replace a malfunctioning camera on an older Swann security camera system. Original Swan cameras are no longer available. This one works just fine.

It was good and compatible with my existing DVR system however the casing is made of plastic, my existing one was made with metal casing so it feels a little bit cheap but obviously it was only 32 dollars.
