ANNKE 16Channel 1080P Lite Security Digital Video Recorder with AI Human/Vehicle Detection, H.265+ Video Compression for Bandwidth Efficiency, 16CH 5-in-1 CCTV DVR for Surveillance Camera, NO HDD

I have used many different brands in the past But this is one step ahead in quality and easy user friendly plug and play. Hugo from customer service also helped with patience and just good old excellent customer service made me know that this is a Great choice for Anyone.

I have found a compatible wireless mouse that works with the unit. If you're looking for a wireless mouse like I was try the Dell MS3320W, it worked instantly using the supplied USB dongle plugged into the back of the DVR and runs off of 1-AA battery. I got it from Goodwill for $10 (the mouse, not battery), but looks like they go for around $18-$30 depending on which color you pick.

Bought this as a birthday present for my stepdad because he gave up on trying so many different DVRs or camera recording devices. Most never recorded or converted videos correctly, or their settings could not be changed. This one is by far the most stable and feature-rich. Even their apps are amazing despite their bad reviews on google app store. I would suggest buying a multi-terabyte HDD for this though. If set to HD recording for motion detection only on at least 10 cameras, a 1 TB HDD will fill up in about a month. Unfortunately, it has no way to automatically delete old videos or overwrite them. You literally will have to manually reformat the HDD again. Another thing you might run into is camera thumbnails dissappearing randomly. Seems like a bug. It can be fixed in General settings section though. Recording quality can be set higher than 1080p, but if your camera is of a different brand it will look a bit like SD quality. The company recommends buying their brand of cameras for that reason.

I was quite surprised at how much i liked this DVR. This is my 3rd DVR and the first from Annke. The setup was easy as usual. installing the HDD was easier then others. They have the slide in screw spots so you didn't have to purfectly line up the holes blindly. The android app was very well put together and impressive, but the windows desktop app was amazing. So much control from my office without having to go to my network closet on the other side of the house. I can do everything, pulling video was easy as my last one was horrible trying to get video on a specific date. Very much recommended.

It's loaded with modern features which I like, and that's why I buy it in the first place. But, it's a video recorder, the video quality is just terrible. Compare to my old DVR, this one has low resolution and full of noise cross the image, especially in night vision mode. And this probably also lead to another fatal problem: my phone is flooded with faulty alarm, even with AI on and sensitivity set to 40 (default 60 or 80 can't remember). And yeah, my friend drive by right in front of my cameras with a 40-ft truck but I got no alarm about it. May be his truck is too big to be detected? So in short, this machine is like a car loaded with state-of-the-art luxurious, security and safety features, but when you attempting to drive it to somewhere, it barely catch a 45mph traffic. Some people may say upgrade firmware or ask customer service. No, when I see its hardware, I know it's no use, its hardware is just not capable of it. And its firmware is already up to date. There is no fan, just a tiny chip with tiny heat sink. Both H265 and AI require a lot of computing power, and this is an 18-channel (16 x BNC/IP convertible + 2 x IP only) DVR, there should be a very strong CPU which generates a lot of heat and HDD is also a heat source. I am not saying there is no H265 and AI, but that's why video quality is so poor because that's its hardware capable of. Now I returned it and reconnect my old DVR which is a bit of out dated, but good video quality.

Brought this item and the DVR and when I tried installing, it is dead dead dead. I spoke to 4 agents and no help. Very very dissatisfied and disappointed 😞.

Práctico y a buen precio

I had to replace my cctv dvr. I ordered a dvr from another brand. Their first one came rattling. Sent it back for replacement. Replacement didn't work either. So I tried Annke. I installed a 4 gig Hard drive. Very easy to set up. And works as it should. Thanks

Very Nice productWorks Great !!!
