Great DVR! Better than expected.
I’ve been using a DVR and some CVI cameras from Amcrest for a number of years now. One of the input channels on that DVR failed recently, so I was shopping around for a low cost replacement, just hopping to get something “good enough” and spend a minimal amount of money to get it. I decided to give this one a try after reading reviews here and watching a few videos on YouTube. I’m glad I did! It’s so much better than I expected… lol In fact it’s quite the upgrade from my old Amcrest unit. The interface is so much better, modern and faster. My old DVR only had 4 inputs, and I have 4 cameras. So I have 4 more empty inputs that I can use to expand later if needed. What’s really nice though, is that it can handle two IP cameras in addition to the 8 coaxial inputs. I have one pan/tilt IP camera that I’ve added successfully. It’s quite nice having all the cameras in one device, and also able to check them all in the one app on my phone or PC. Speaking of PC, I used a piece of software called Guarding Vision, which is recommended on Ankke’s site. It works well! Having h.265 compression means I can store a lot more video on the same drive I was using, compared to h.264 with the old DVR. I took the 1TB Seagate Video drive out of my old DVR to put into this one. The AI motion detection works surprisingly well. On every camera/DVR I’ve had in the past, I end up turning off motion detection because I usually get just as many false positives as missed actual motion… lol This one works good though. I’ve seen very few “false” positives triggered by insects flying by, etc, but it’s actually been able to properly detect people and vehicles, and tell the difference between then. I have it set up so it records 24/7, but with motion detection on, it still marks motion on the timeline in the playback which is perfect! I can also have it send emails or notifications too, but chose to turn those off for now. Definitely consider this if you’re looking for a nice security DVR at a nice price!

It’s a nice replacement for the Q-see upgrade with little quirks at a reasonable price.
This item I bought to replace my Q-see CCT DVR that went out of business some time ago.1. Getting this Annke online with a Windows PC and a Samsung phone wasn’t as hard.2. The picture was more vivid than my Q-see, and the configuration took a little getting used to, but it was not difficult.3. The customer service was hit or miss. First, I left a chat message, then I was reached by a nice, knowledgeable associate who answered all of my concerns.4. The Conns is that when reviewing the recording is awkward compared to my Q-see, in which you can rewind and fast forward your recordings with no glitches up to 36 times as fast. Annke only goes up to 16 times as fast, and it glitches when you want to fast forward or rewind to a scene segment as if it’s being downloaded and not scanned from the HD with a smooth transition like it does with my Q-see. To ”sum it up”, it’s a nice replacement for the Q-see upgrade with little quirks at a reasonable price.

Nice unit ,Functional UI lacking, no manual E or otherwise
Begin forwarded message: Kyle , absolutely the worst UI i have ever encountered, try to configure a camera and select A4 as an example, make the a selection Motion, then go to Video tampering the UI goes back to A1 . Ridiculous, if you are not paying attention you are actually working on A1 parameters. This should not happen, very confusing makes configuring the system confusing.   Issues with false alarms, I am sure if i beat it up enough or basically don’t enable these features I won’t have another problem ,but what’s the advantage of having a dvr with AI , or plate reading , much less then other features. Now I am understanding that even though support both on the phone and online give instructions as to how to delete footage , i am now being told I have to reformat the complete hard drive, absolutely ridiculous couple that with the lack of any documentation either as an e manual or written one makes this system less than favorable. Your phone support Vania was spectacular but the system its self is severely lacking. Take for example the email setup , no where does it tell you that you have to make a passkey rather than a password , took me several days and only got through this with the help of Vania. Even she had to search the web and found someone on You Tube that figured this out ,again no help form any manuals.    For these reasons , i am going to return this useless DVR for lack of better wording, on the plus side its a nice unit but its operational functions are severely lacking. If you have no further solutions , its going back to Amazon and I will be purchasing a different brand.

Worked exactly as described, setup was easy and connected to my existing cameras. App setup was simple as well.

Fonctionnement simple et efficace

I have tried many “cheap” dvr units, and they ALL fell short, this unit does the job and then some, has not let me down and worked straight out of the box, setup mobile viewing easily and the app is very nice and simple. I had multiple different brand cameras and i plugged them all in and this Annke dvr unit picked them all up instantly. Dont hesitate to buy this like i did, dont buy the other rubbish brands, just save your self the time and money and buy this unit. Excellent product and price.*Also to note, another reviewer said there was no on/off power button, this is by design as most dvr units don’t have an on/off power button incase the power goes out or cuts off at home/work, when the power comes back on or resumes, the dvr unit also turns back on and resumes recording without having to wait for someone to “remember” to turn it back on. You could have lost all that footage in that time, this will just pickup where it left off.*

Easy to work with the product.The initial setup was fast, straight-forward and the 2TB HDD that I used in it, was recognised straight away.Also, the user interface is very friendly with the new software version.I bought this DVR of Amazon after initially buying a 4Cameras Annke CCTV system of eBay that has proven to have a faulty DVR. Or at least I couldn’t make it to recognise the HDD in the kit or any other HDD I have tested.All in all, I am happy with the product. It does the job and the app connectivity is more than useful, especially if you need remote access on a daily basis.

I own a 4 channel DVR which is getting on for 10 years old so decided to replace it and at the same time upgrade to 8 channels and benefit from some new features.Several other customers have purchased CCTV equipment from hong kong and china and I must agree that the instructions are of no help. Having said this the DVR is straight forward to set up once you have purchased the hard drive you require for the unit. I went with the 2TB hard drive to allow for more than enough memory and to record at a higher fps.Once the hard drive is installed and you’ve connected all of your cables simply switch on the unit and it sets itself up apart from the basic time and date information.I purchased the Sannce DVR fully aware that I wasn’t going to get the best on the market for my money and wasn’t expecting the best. The resolution is adequate but almost impossible to see faces unless they are directly in front of the camera. My previous DVR produced much clearer images than this newer model. This DVR is excellent for home or small office use but don’t expect crystal clear images. Although I use D1 cameras this unit will only produce 300X275 images (CIF quality)This model includes a lot of features but please be aware that although it has an HDMI connection it does not provide HD quality pictures, I was aware of this when making the purchase but just wanted other to know they won’t get HD quality. Now, the unit takes a little while to get used to and does have a lot of features. There is a handy QR code to connect your mobile but you will need to provided ‘port’ to access the DVR from outside your home network. You will also require you own IP address provided by your ISP. There are several videos on YouTube which will show you how to set all of this up.Additional features such as USB back-up and PTZ cruise control are very handy. I have only had the unit for two days so will update if there are any changes.Overall this is a very cheap basic unit with a lot of features and ideal for anyone starting out on the road to CCTV for their home or office. Please be aware that if you’re spending out on high quality CCTV cameras you won’t benefit from the quality using this DVR!
