SANSCO 8 Channel 5MP DVR CCTV Security Camera System with (4) 3K 5MP Super HD Outdoor Bullet Cameras (2560x1920, IP66 Vandal-Proof, Improved Night Vision, Quick App Viewing) - No Hard Drive Disk

This is an upgrade from my Sannce 4 x camera DVR that had served its time of 4 YearsInstall for the Sansco was straight forward as i have all the cables in place from the previous DVR so re-used themthe cameras them selfs surprised me great picture quality and sharpness day and nightNight vision is very good the IR cut hangs in until dusk so you get colour cctv for as long as possible something my previous DVR did not do .as with all the cheap DVR kits don't believe the claims on detail at distance non of them our very good at distance details reading a car reg for example this dvr is probably clearly read a licence plate at 6-10 meters after that its readable up to about 15 m after that i don't think you could use it court but you can guess what the plate is most of my camera angles our close range but this kit works way better than most.the dvr it self is smaller than expected it has been 4 years since last kit purchased.beenMy set up is plug and play as I said had all the cables so no issues there although I will be reusing a couple of the older cameras and the new leads as this is a 8 channel .One thing I never noticed before purchasing was the lack of video out aux jack I use this to feed round the house no issue although I can work around that more than happy with this item .down sides (non so far)Nothing to do with the item it self but the app is rubbish all ways has been and will be don't see the point in uploading the feeds to a server in china then having an app to pull the same feeds back down for live view .I use the app only as a way to connect to the dvr and play back recorded content if out the house I don't use it for live view at all .there is a way to view the live feeds direct i.e dvr ---> phone/mac/pc avoiding the china server and the appIt's not for the faint of hear lol needs a bit of patience but is worth it as the feeds load fast theres no lag or crashing if anyones interested I will put together a HOW2 BASED ON THIS DVR SETUP only ... as it bugged me for years.Probably will work with other sansco/sannce DVR's .I was going to upload photos from the monitor screen but they will not do the picture justice due to screen glare so haven't

For the cost this is a very good piece of kit. I bought a 2TB hard drive from elswhere and installed it myself - very easy with a Youtube video.There was a small probpem as one of the cables was slightly faulty and wouldn't connect but the response was superb and the seller immediately sent me a new cable which arrived very promptly. You will have no problems with the seller. The app works really well and is very simple to use. You can control settings from the app as well as from plugging the DVR box into a TV/monitor for more in depth settings.The cameras are not perfect but this could be my internet as I view from my phone/tablet.All in all I would definitely recommend this product which would give you peace of mind around a home / small business property.

I got this CCTV system because my old (Maplin) Sentient was starting to lose cameras one by one and was always a PITA to use.This replacement Sansco has left me with mixed feelings, The DVR is first class, easy to set up, very good picture quality and easy to set up both phone app and PC viewing. As I said the phone app (android) took minuets to get going and will allow me to access the cameras live wherever there is Wi-Fi connectivity available.I had a little more bother linking to my windows 10 PC, the unit won't work with MS edge, but having Internet Explorer as a back up it wasn't a big deal. The software on the disk and messing with the gateway settings proved fruitless, until I twigged "why not just use the IP address", it worked first time. the image quality is first class.Now the installation, the PVR as I said was no problem but now to the cameras! Whoever designed the camera mounts should be hung up by the thumbs, take a look at the pictures the one with the mount straight to the camera will allow up down OR left right adjustment only, not both, you can rotate the camera but what use is that? The second picture works better as you can go up down and left right with some rotation, but means you have to mount the cameras "side on" to the surface, not always practical. The adjusting screws are tiny allen headed jobs, not nice to work with in wet and cold conditions, the body of the mounts is made of a week alloy with the durability of cheese, one thread has already stripped and the bolt now replaced with a piece of wire whilst I source a long enough bolt and nut to replace it.Now the quality of the cameras, the definition is first class and even with the phone app you can choose to view in HD, the colour accuracy is first class and focus is good with a useful night vision range, night vision is also sharp.However, and there had to be one, these cameras have VERY wide angle lens almost fish eye so if you align them to a straight wall one side the rest of the world falls away dramatically. I know they were not designed for doing fashion shoots but this is a bit off putting when you are used to the more "normal" image of other cameras.In summery I suppose you get what you pay for if the system lasts a couple of years it will have done it's job, but I foresee I'm probably going to have to do some repair work to the mounts at some time as I can't see being able to adjust then and being able to tighten the screws effectively without stripping the threads.Summery, good enough for the money don't expect too much, as others have pointed out this cheaper version comes without a HDD, no problem for me as I just used the one from the old system but you will have to factor that in, delivery from the supplier was fast, I will just mention the mini CD that came with the system has a PDF manual that only half works but there are loads of You Tube videos showing the set up.

Bought this about a month ago now as I was bored in lockdown and wanted something to do, plus wanted to protect my property. Comes with everything you need. I did order longer connecting cables as I had to run 1 camera to my garage which is detached from the house. Picture quality is amazing on this unit. Dvr is basic but serves its purpose. I left mine in the attic, and ran wires down through the walls to an upstairs TV and purchased a wireless mouse and USB extender which works flawlessly. My only little gripe with this unit is the alarm and motion detection. I have played and played with the settings but get so many false alarms during the evening it's unreal. The infrared attracts a lot of flies at night which set off the motion detection throughout the night. But having said that the system is serving its purpous and overall I'm very pleased with it.
