Highly recommend product i had an issue with connecting online with the app called customer service and spoke to Hugo who was a great help getting my system connected. Annke customer service was a pleasant experience.
EDIT: tech said there is a lifetime support with your system no fees ect which is great.

This product was a great deal! We got an excellent price on it, and it arrived early. It was well packaged and everything was secure with boxes and boxes of cameras, hard-drive and wiring. Install was super easy, since we were replacing our old system. Took my husband approx 1hr and 30 mins to get all the old cameras down (4) and new cameras (5/8) installed. We were able to use the old wires to pull new wiring through. Setup was also super easy, as we have not run this through our wifi. When we go through that process, I will try to update the review with information regarding setup and app installation.

Picture quality is great day and night, but the night vision is fairly limited depending on light. The scope of details for the cameras are bright to dim where there is little to no light, covering an estimated 10'W by 30'D area. In well lit areas the distance is much greater with clear picture for up to 150' or more. That is the one negative and would be the one area needing improvement, or there may be another system that offers further coverage at night.

The 2T hard-drive is big but not bulky. The system we replaced was only 1T and was about 4 in more narrow from front to back.

We chose this system because of the ability to hook 8 cameras up. It also has the capabilities to mix and match so we can use wireless cameras if wanted as well. Since we were going from wired to wired, with the exception of one, we chose to keep the wired cameras instead of buying all new wireless. When we get the 3 wireless I will update the review with that info if able.

Setting up the system was as easy as following the prompts. Password protected or not, it is up to you. We chose to go with a wireless mouse of our own rather than use the corded mouse that is included, and it works fine like that.

Easy to configure cameras and set them up. The one area that we don't like is viewing options. You can set them up with all 8 on the screen but not just 5, so we have 3 black screens where those are not connected. 1 is displayed larger than the other 7, that are all smaller around 2 sides of the 1 larger. You can also display them 1 at a time that flips from 1 to the next, and if motion occurs it will jump back to the screen and hold there for designated time. There are other options as well if you decide to do the wifi and internet option- you can set alerts to shoot an email and even contact the monitoring app for remote viewing of every alert if necessary. The motion sensitivity can be set to certain areas in a grid or for entire screen and you can have it sensitive enough to alert when a leaf falls 20 yards away during the day or less sensitivity so that it doesn't trigger further than 5ft away. The whole program is really easy to maneuver and the possibilities are endless with this system.

Hopefully this review helps. I definitely recommend this product if you want good quality, excellent picture and an easy install, all for a very competitive price.

Love them easy installation and simple set up! Clear picture day and night! Many different options and settings to choose from as well! No issues at all and very satisfied with them!

I call Ankke on 08/17/2023 and it was really busy and it sent me to voice mail I didn't leave a message, but the next day Hugo with Ankke called me and help me to finish setting up my camera system... Thank you Hugo! I gave it a 4 star on the camera because I would have like color vision instead of black and white

Great system. I do wish it was clear enough to read license plates and also not in military time. Also it would be great if it had files for each individual camera recording It's a pain to have to go through every video to find the one your looking for. Recordings are not organized. Aside from that it's a decent purchase.
