ANNKE Wireless Camera System, 16CH Expandable 4K Security NVR, 8Pcs 3MP Outdoor Cameras, 2-Way Audio, Dual-Band WiFi, Human Detection, IP66 Waterproof, 2TB HDD, Compatible with Alexa, 24/7 Protection

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.

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.

Price was on point for what I received. Great picture for a small monitor, tablet or cell phone. A bit pixelated on larger TVs. The app works great and I have had no issues. Setup was a simple plug and play. I like the fact that it has sound and audio on each camera. I would definitely recommend for someone who wants a home security monitoring system at an affordable price.

Well worth the money, fairly easy set up, great video. The only problem I have is it doesn't have left and right adjustment on the cameras.

I really regret buying this camera system. The setup was frustrating from the start — the cameras kept disconnecting from WiFi even though my signal is strong. The app is slow and buggy, and the live view freezes constantly. The 2-way audio sounds muffled, and sometimes it doesn’t work at all. The video quality isn’t anywhere near 4K as advertised, and playback skips or lags like crazy. Even worse, the system randomly reboots itself, which means I lose footage when I actually need it. For the price, I expected reliability, but this setup has been nothing but headaches. Definitely wouldn’t recommend.
