SANSCO8 Channel 5MP DVR CCTV Security Camera System with (4) 2MP Super HD Outdoor Bullet Cameras (1920x1080, 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

Having already got a full CCTV set up at home, i wanted the reassurance of not depending on a fully wireless setup and get a wired one, this ensures no connection issues can happy.The set up is really easy as there is no syncing apart from connecting it to the internet, once online you can then sync with your mobile phone to view it live or run playback of previous recordings. You will need a hard drive for it or you can record to a USB flash drive if you prefer to have a more mobile and removable memory solution (but that usually restricts the capacity too.Being able to adjust the motion sensitivity and the recording times means that i don't have useless data on my recordings and i can also target movement recordings only which cuts down on my review time when looking through the footage.This is the type of CCTV you can set up on your own without the need of professionals as long as you are inventive on how to hide your cables (think under the floors possibly? or trunking) then you should be good with DIY.

I bought this product has an upgrade to my older system that was standard definition, first thing to say is the picture qaulity is better compared to my previous non Hd set up, however I've noticed some ghosting of the image where you can see a shadow around static objects and moving things such has people, the camera area covered is a lot wider with it being 1080p so covers a good area, the software on the box is reasonably easy to understand, had this system it swapped over from my previous within an hour, I reported shadowy images got very swift response from CS but no resolution, Since having this system I've also had to replace the power adapter to the cameras it went faulty leaving fuzzy lines across all active camera channels, I've also NOTICED system time does not stay in sync, it gains about 12 seconds a day, over a long period of time left unchecked my system had got ahead of the sync time by nearly half hour, so ran some tests and noticed that over a week it will gain about a minute. You can use the xmeye app to keep the system time in sync with the divice the app is on though which is typically a mobile so system will sync to mobile network time. But feel this should be sorted out! So after nearly a year I've reviewed my original review. I'm 50/50 on this device, sometimes I think it's OK other times with the glitches mentioned above makes me feel disappointed in it.

This is my second CCTV camera kit and i bought this to upgrade my old 800TVL system.Overall the system is generally very good and well worth the money. The picture quality in the day and night is good.One issue i have found is that the motion detection is overly sensitive and even when set on the lowest sensitivity bombards your email address with false alarms.You can set this up to monitor from your computer or phone which is ideal for me.After installing the system I found that one of the cameras was faulty and presents a double image (ghosting). The manufacturer has agreed it is the camera is at fault and has advised they will send a replacement.

Hello. I bought this product because it is easy to use and a very good price for what it can do. I am very satisfied with it. Easy to carry because it is small (I use it at work), quick installation.
