ANNKE 3K Lite Wired Security Camera System Outdoor with AI Human/Vehicle Detection, 8CH H.265+ DVR and 8 x 1920TVL 2MP IP67 Home CCTV Cameras with Smart Dual Light, Color Night Vision, 1TB Hard Drive

I bought this system to replace the Blink system that’s owned by Amazon because i was sick of paying the subscription and the crappy service. Install was simple if you have the know how and the tools. I absolutely love the picture quality even the IR/night vision is INSANE and clear. This system can be local view only and/or the ANNKE Vision app, which is very simple to use once you get your settings tuned in on how you want them. Each camera you can draw a zone to which you can also set a particular sensitivity for each camera. The notifications are very quick and no lag time to view which was the selling point. Now. The reasons for the 3 stars, about a month ago, we had a power outage, which dropped the WiFi, which you need for the app, i have gone through each trouble shooting step to gain back my app viewing, keep in mind my system still works but its local view only at this time. I have followed the steps precisely and even involved support. I’m still waiting to hear back about what else we can do to get my app back online. Just sucks that customer support isn’t as quick as it was. But all in all, a great system and very responsive for identifications. And VERY customizable. EDITED 1/30/26 After weeks of trouble shooting and doing EXACTLY what they say and still no results. They ended up sending me a whole new DVR. I’m back online for local and REMOTE. They were very helpful, the reason the issue took forever was due to time differences and availability on my side. I’m glad i stuck it out.

Good quality. Nice picture. A lot of recording time. Pretty easy to set up. Don't have to use the cloud. If you hook it to the internet you can use it on your phone. They can't Jam your cameras because they're wired.

This system will not break the bank and still offers a sense of security that will allow you to sleep well at night or not worry while you're gone. One thing to note: the motion detection will not provide you with video; however it will provide you with snapshots. You can set the system; however, to continuous recording if you choose, and this is what I do while I'm away or asleep. The installation is very simple; however, you will be crawling around in your attic a lot if you want to install it without wires being exposed. That should be no surprise. The instructions are very simple to follow, but the printed booklet is small, so use the online owners manual that can be found on the product page here on amazon. The one thing that I was having issues with is the wired mouse that comes with the unit - it's just not a good solution unless you plan to use a monitor at a desk. I wanted to use it with my flatscreen tv, which worked just fine, but the wired mouse created a major issue. In this case, I would suggest using a wireless IR mouse, and I found the perfect one, which I will provide the link to below: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07R66QQNS?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details Overall I am extremely happy and very surprised how much you get for the price! UPDATE: I previously stated that this system would not record video using motion detection; however, I was mistaken and finally figured out how to do it, which makes this system even better! I suppose this details the learning curve of the software, which isn't bad at all, but I was a little confused when it came to the events and recordings section of the settings. The events can be set for continuous use and then enabled and the recording can be set for continuous, event, and then none. By default the system comes with the recording set to continuous, so all you have to do is set it to event for each camera so when an event alarm is set, a recording will start, which will save you a lot of space on your hard drive. I really hope this helps in case anyone else out there was scratching their head about the same feature. The only other things during setup that had me wondering is when I setup the networking. There will be a section on screen from the dvr that calls for a varification code when trying to connects your mobile device to the network. I thought it was a verification number that was located within my system's paperwork; however, it's just a code that you need to create (like a password). Well, good luck with your new system, if you choose to purchase. I enjoy mine tremendously, and like I said before - for the price, this system has all the bells and whistles! Thank you, Annke!

This is an overall great camera system! It works great and has really good camera quality. The installation process was pretty straight forward. Although it wouldn't hurt to order longer cables if you do order this camera system. We ordered 4 100 ft cables extra so we could put the cameras farther out. It comes with 8 60 ft cables. They pick up well even far away. I would strap the wires down pretty good too to where the wind doesn't blow them a whole lot so they don't break as easily. Or you could bury them indergeound. We did also have to buy a longer Ethernet cable that worked good with the system because the one it came with was super short! We got a 25 foot Cat 6 Ethernet cord. We thought Cat 5 wouldnt be as good for quality and Cat 7 is more for businesses. Cat 6 is perfect for home uses. However, my biggest issue with this system was after installation, I went to set up the software and it was very difficult!!! I about got so frustrated that I almost sent them back. It took almost 2 days for us to get the cameras to detect motion. And we had everything set to the right settings. We had camera 2 and 3 set up but not 1 yet. So we decided to set up camera 1 and then everything started to work right. So just for your information make sure camera 1 is set up first!! We have the sensitivity turned up all the way right now and it is picking up great now. It even triggers when it rains! It can be kind of annoying actually. But you can adjust it to whatever setting is right for you. After we finally got the cameras working good... they have been great!!. It has AI that detects human and vehicles but I do wish that the camera could have advanced AI settings so it would know my face and not record me all the time..lol Night detection is pretty clear as well. I love that it sends me a notification every time it senses movement. It does detect animals as well but it categorizes them as humans. The notifications work through internet from the Ethernet cord. If you lose Internet you won't get notifications sent to your phone but the hard drive will still manually record on the DVR. And one thing that I love is that if the memory is full, it will start to overwrite itself so you don't have to delete anything or worry about the memory! Overall these cameras are a great home security option.

Me gusto que para el precio ya tiene el disco duro instalado y la facilidad para instalar todo el equipo. Lo más importante la facilidad de conectarlo a mi app en el celular y poder monitorear donde me encuentre.

Excelente producto y su instalación muy sencilla .

Es un producto de muy buena calidad solo me gustaria que los cables fueran un poco mas largos, es bastante largo al fin de cuentas solo es un parecer, en si no tengo ninguna queja realmente de este, es excelente y a buen precio.
