SANSCOHD CCTV Camera System, Home Security 8 Channel 5MP DVR Recorder, 2x 1080p Waterproof Outdoor Bullet Cameras, Email App Alert, Night Vision, Face Detection, 1TB Hard Drive

Overall very happy with the system - you pay for what you get. Next time I'd probably go for higher quality and wider field of view - but hey, this was my first experience and you learn. The system I purchased included a 1TB hard drive as I didn't want t have to buy extra bits.That said, extremely happy with the system: I elected to connect it up in my loft - easier to run the cables to the outside cameras and used a wifi extender and connected the DVR via a short ethernet cable.Installation is pretty straightforward - there is a small diagram with the instructions and it is easy to miss!Installed the app on iPhones and AndroidThe instructions say to leave out the password - makes me wonder about security issues from outside 'bad actors'; I 'found' the camera using the search function on the app (rather than following the instructions where I kept getting an error) and it works fine . . . and because there is no password associated with it, presumably anyone with an app could search for the camera and look at the feed. As there is no password involved I guess anyone with the right app could look at my camera.Anyhow, overall am extremely happy and in the future would probably purchase a higher quality cameras with a wider field of view as the system can support 4 camerasPS I had a question about whether I needed to free up space on the 1TB hard drive, posted a question and also found a number for isansco product support; I rang it and it rang out but within 10min a representative from the company called and answered my questions and talked me through the correct recording configuration (basically you just leave it on the factory settings and the hard drive will fill up and then erase the oldest recordings; also don't change the settings for alarm or movement as there is a possibility you could miss some 'action' - just leave it on record all the time and you will be able to see previous recordings). Also said there are higher quality and wider angle cameras coming out later. There you go, had to write this up as I was impressed someone took the time to call me and explain their product

It is the best I got 1 and I got 1 for my sister I am so happy thank you so much 💓

Good camera to be fair. Easy to install but write down your password before you forget it. I emailed the team and within 3 hours they had me back online... Cant complain about them. Also any questions I asked there were back withing hours.Picture quality is a 7/8 out of 10 for me it has SD and HD but you get what you pay for.Night vision is the same, you can make it out but try zooming in on a face then the face is a little distorted but it's clear enough.I've not set up motion detection as yet but I will when I get timeIm happy with my cams for there price and service so its a 8/9 out of 10 for me

Iv had my 4 channel system with the 2 cameras and then bought an extra dome Camera as well.Setup was pretty easy all plug and play,the instructions you get was understandable enough so breezed through that part and was up and running within 30 mins after first mounting the cameras.The part where you connect to the app through a smartphone was a little more taxing but not too bad.Motion is sensed really quickly and written to the hard disc,iv had to use the hardrive on a few occasions when neibours have had there cars hit or keyed and has provided footage no problem,although number plates are a tad unrecognisable the further away they are which is ok seen as it's only a 2mp camera system.Overall I would reccoment this as a nice camera system which doesn't break the bank to protect your property..

I got this for two reasons, it's price, and remote viewing of the system didn't have a subscription cost. There's a couple of key points about the kit, the cameras are analogue signal, so they're not producing very good picture quality. They are light and pretty easy to install, though beyond 15 meters they're nigh on pointless, but seeing as hardly any CCTV is used to watch the horizon or observe other worlds, it's fine for say a driveway at the front of the house. A note on the night vision mode, it's actually quite good and does give about 15 meters of illumination for a low energy camera. Yes - it will attract bugs, but not so much as you can't see anything else, unless it's a spider (see below)On that note, I would recommend having some vicks vaporub handy to smear on the camera body or you'll be frequently looking at a spider and/or it's web.The actual software management of the system is rudimentary, it's astonishingly oversensitive (leaves blowing across the driveway, rain, light changes from the sun, all set the alert off). You can mitigate some of this, but if you want notifications, you'll be getting a lot of them.The system supports facial recognition, but that's not useful if the camera is more than 2 meters from the individual viewing it. Also, the vehicle recognition and the systems general discrimination for people, or "Human detection" isn't too good. I like that it thinks cats are people, but they aint.Overall, it's not a bad product, if you just have it facing and recording one area and you have the need to check footage now and then, it's great. One terabyte of storage gives about a month on two cameras.I'm still seeing after a 6 weeks if the unit is performing consistently - seems so.

Pleased with product

Wanted an affordable CCTV recorder that didn't require a cloud subscription. This was easy to install and set-up. Daytime picture quality is excellent, night time quality is good. Playback works well and is easy to use. The user interface is not modern but is functional and easy to navigate. The app was also easy to install and set-up, and works well on iPhone. We recently went away on holiday and we could live stream the CCTV feed to check in. Overall, we're really pleased with the purchase - especially given the price and easy set-up.
