Great System/Bot Customer Service
UPDATE: 12/15/2022 - Annke stepped in to show themselves honorable. Apparently, a supervisor took over my case. She looked back through my emails, saw my frustration - and the problem - and set out to solve it. First, after clarifying a few things, she advised that they are retraining their newer agents in how to better deal with customers who need a little extra help with all the internal settings - because this system does offer quite a bit of fancy features and not everything could be listed in the manual. They are also looking to update some other issues so that customers walk away with the info they need on a more timely schedule. And, lastly, they offered to send us two extra cameras for our trouble - which does indeed show a genuine concern for customer satisfaction - and I must say, I was not expecting that one at all. Obviously, they are truly intent on customer satisfaction - and I feel much more comfortable about the product now. Thank you, Annke. In lieu of the extra steps you are taking to provide better customer service - and the FACT that this system is truly kickass - It's a definite recommendation!! (PREVIOUS REVIEW) Though I've had it for less than a week, the system - SO FAR - is pretty good. Excellent picture quality, easy physical installation. It does have a hard drive but doesn't have an internal wifi connection - and this has caused an issue - b/c I could never get it to cooperate with my phone. The phone app setup was grinding and just would not cooperate. I installed the system on my large TV and the video is great, though no matter what I try, it won't send emails to alert me of threats as it's supposed to. The worst part is CUSTOMER SERVICE. They offer a number but a human NEVER answers. You are told to go online to CHAT - but when you do - there's nobody to help you there either. You have to send an email and wait for someone to contact you - and when asking for clarification on a couple of setup issues with regard to downloading and saving video - the reply was simply to follow the instructions in the manual. SERIOUSLY? The playback is a bit tricky as well. Playback includes an entire minute before the "scene" and an entire minute after it's over. I tried to check if that could be changed up a bit but - without customer service to directly address this - I could not find the internal setting to adjust (if even possible). They also do not specify how long the videos are kept on any setting before overwrite kicks in - but a professional electronics guy told me his lasted about 6 months on continual record. He also helped me figure out the correct way to download and back up the video I needed since I couldn't get wifi connection -and the instructions for any remedy were not available. Granted, most people who work with electronic setups for a living or hard drives, etc., may not have issues. I'm not completely ignorant of these things either as I'm always working with different setups and even built two of my own websites. But, to ME, I had to reread the instructions over and over for clarity - and still, some were just not clear. You will also need a magnifying glass to read the instructions or use your phone's camera to zoom in. The print is SUPER, SUPER SMALL and on some of the setup pics - the images are too blurry to read at all. I would suggest this product (minus customer service) for now because - if it lasts - it's truly great quality video. Godspeed. ... show more

Excellent IR night vision and color night vision.
This system was a lot easier to set up than I expected. One of my cameras had intermittent operation. I contacted ANNKE SUPPORT and they shipped me a new one. One of the outstanding features is the camera white light turning on automatically giving you full color view. I asked SUPPORT if there is a way to have permanent color night vision. Laura responded and gave me a link describing the procedure - not difficult. But after discussing it with my wife, we decided not to do that. The bright white lights on the cameras ruins the stealth aspect of the camera. I have to comment on the IR night vision. The detail picked up by the cameras is amazing. I have worked with security systems for more than 15 years. For the price, this is the best system I have worked with and I highly recommend choosing it. ... show more

Nice for the Price
Works good. Nice hearty little system. Install was a pain, but that's always the case with a wired system. I was able to stick the cable in between my soffit and the house siding, as the cable is fairly small. Cable is only about the size of a 10-12 AWG wire. Picture is pretty good. you're not going to be able to read a license plate with it but you see enough to know who and what's going on. The software on the DVR box is nice, it is a bit involved and if you're not good with computers you may have a problem. I'm pretty tech savvy and it took me about a week to get comfortable with the layout, and am still discovering new things on it. I will say this, the motion alarm on it is useless at night. This is due to the fact of the amount of moths coming up to say hello to the camera, I assume that they can see the infrared lighting the way they swarm to it. It will constantly set the motion alarm off. I have even put the motion detect setting on lowest sensitivity and also set it up to 200 secs, and it still goes nuts. Motion alarm still goes off frequently during the day, but not nearly as much as night. Even at the 200 secs setting, it still picks up something moving if its moving for less than 10 secs, so don't know how that makes any sense. But the motion alarm is a crucial thing to keep on because you can scroll through the footage based on motion alarm events. I also set it up to send an e-mail when there is motion, which is awesome. Just don't go running to your home because it detected motion, most likely a false alarm. The mobile app is a nice perk. Can see each of the 4 cameras from it and connects pretty quickly. The only negative thing I have to say about the mobile app is the remote playback feature. If you scroll to a specific time of day, when the picture loads it displays exactly one hour ahead of the time you picked. Not a huge deal, just annoying. Overall, this is a nice inexpensive solution. For the price, you can't beat it. It's alot better than what I had before, which is nothing. ... show more

AMAZING. Would buy these cameras again
Easy set up an they are amazing from being able to play back the recording because it comes with the 1tb, my favorite feature is the light that comes on if something comes close enough to trigger the the light

Poor user interface, too many anomolies with the dvr, defective cameras
I had high hopes for the Annke, and it seemed to offer some cool features, but I ended up having to return the unit due to numerous issues. I’ve had experience with installing two DVRs previously, one a Swann and the other a Night Owl, not to mention I am technically inclined, so I feel as though I know what I’m doing. At least I know enough to know that this product is not ready for prime time. First, it’s unforgivable that Annke does not have a full owner’s manual for this unit. Annke only has a quick start guide for this model. I contacted Annke by phone and asked why there was no full owner’s manual, and they could only tell me to call them if I had any questions about how to use it. I did manage to find a full owner’s manual online for a “similar” system and I used it as best I could. Aside from the lack of a manual, there were many problems with this unit - settings not holding, settings grayed out and not changeable, recordings showing for future dates, and in general an extremely clunky and non-intuitive user interface that left me shaking my head. At one point, I thought I had the unit set up properly and it seemed to work for a couple of days, but then it stopped recording all together. I double checked all the record settings and they seemed to be correct but for some reason it just decided to stop recording. One other thing I did not like is that the DVR (when it would record) would make several separate but overlapping recording clips for what I would think should be just one recording clip. As for the cameras, I tested only two of the four. The video quality was fairly good, but they both had issues with night-time recording. I had the unit on continuous record, and when reviewing night-time recordings I found they were flashing on and off. Every few minutes they would go black and throw up a “Video Loss” message. So as mentioned, I returned it and purchased another Swann. The Swann cost double the Annke but it was like going from rags to riches in functionality and ease of use. ... show more
