Great value for what you're getting. Has been working well for about a year now. Simple all in one set up, great features.

I had a hikivison before this and it gave up after 2 years and was looking for something with good motion detection to replace mine and found this one. All of the old cables and cameras connect right to this one. Plus this one gives me the option to add more cameras so that's a nice upgrade. So far it's been pretty good, the motion detection and UI are excellent. I would recommend checking it out.

This NVR on one hand is very good and on the other hand very bad depending on how you look at it and what you require.In theory if you want a simple set up and just want to connect your ‘NEW’ Annke POE cameras direct to it, it will work perfectly. I couldn’t get it to work this way and if I had it would have removed the functionality of my cameras anyway.It looks like the only way to get this to work is from a factory reset NVR and Cameras.I use Annke NC800 and C500 cameras which have internal storage via MicroSD which is useful as a back up for the NVR’s storage. The NVR will occasionally glitch so having internal storage as a backup is very useful.If connected direct to the NVR, the cameras are no longer accessible via IP as the NVR allocates its own IP which is an incredibly bad way of doing things, the internal POE switch should just work as a switch which it doesn’t. There is nothing in the instruction manual that I can find that mentions this.As a side note I found the NVR allocated an IP in the range of 192.168.254.xxx whereas Andrew, in an earlier review said he had to manually allocate an IP in the range of 192.168.100.xxx. Neither worked for me but maybe would if I connected the cameras before running the setup wizard.If you can’t access the cameras via IP and there is no other way to access them then the backup is next to useless, you would have to take the camera apart to access the MicroSD storage. You have no way to play with the camera settings such as setting it to record at which point you have to disconnect the camera, plug it into a POE switch, use the Annke SADP software to change the IP to something in the range of your home network, change the setting to what you want hoping it all works, (you could always access the storage at this point,) and then disconnect and reconnect to the NVR which is just ridiculous.The only possible reason I can think of for this stupidity is to make things easier for those who don’t want to mess with IP addresses which I can understand but in doing so the removal of the advanced functionality of the cameras is unforgivable and the failure to detail any of this in the manual is pathetic. There could be a simple software switch to change this, there may well be but the manual is so limited in information you won’t find it.It took me a wasted 12 hour day to discover and work out all of these problems as nothing seems to be detailed in the manual.After set up, the software is very straight forward, easy to use and feature rich but the browser plug-in called LocalServiceComponents is unreliable and glitchy. As Andrew in the earlier review says, use a better protocol that doesn’t have potential vulnerabilities.The saved image regardless of camera seems very good and using the 4K NC800’s is amazingly detailed even in low light conditions.

Very happy easy set up well worth the price. I installed my own hard drive. I access the cameras via mobile when away from home.Highly recommended

I purchased this NVR specifically because online reviewers noted it would be compatible with most other brands of IR Cameras. The software was much more user friendly than my previous unit, but even though it indicated I was 'connected', I wasn't able to see images on my screen. Customer tech support was not helpful over the phone, but they responded via email about 5 days later and implied there could be a possible 'work-around' to resolve my issue. By that time, I already returned the unit.

Can't remotely put on standby or turn off so that you can use a smart plug to power off down and have it come back up when the power is restored.Otherwise it's working great with the software. Checking it remotely works well with the mobile app and putting it up on monitors works well locally.Might not be an easy setup with the software though

Compared to other brands apps. This one is complicated beyond complicated. If youre not a tech savvy person. Settings hidden in the cameras and in the NVR. Since Annke is a sub company of Hikvision, I could only assume decent quality and reliability. But if you want something plug and play. Stay away from Annke. Youll be frustrated from their app.

Works perfectly, very happy.Word of advice, don't use the Annke Vision app. Don't connect it to your home network or the internet.Buy a wireless HDMI extender and directly connect the NVR to your observation monitor.

This ANNKE 4K 8 Channel Network Video Recorder for POE Security Camera System, 8CH NVR is only as good as your cameras. So if you have great cameras, this works great! If the cameras aren't so great you really can't expect this to improve them. That said, bring your own hard drives as well and you are set for a very nice system.

Like most people, we did our research, read reviews, vendor/feature comparisons, etc. We decided to go with some ANNKE NVR's to replace some legacy GW ones we had. The experience of using their products has NOT been good.First off, these particular units have an integrated 8 port POE switch on the back. The first time we plugged in a camera to these ports, the NVR shut down, not only did it shut down, the power supply blew (verified with a multi-meter). We had no idea what was going, so we plugged the same camera into one of our Netgear POE switches and it came up. Ok, so maybe a bad power supply from the factory. Opened the other brand new box and took that power supply out, plugged it in, unit powered on, looks good. Plugged in another camera to one of their POE ports. Unit shut down again and that power supply blew (verified with multi-meter). We had another 48v 1.5 amp power supply from another vendor, so we plugged it into the ANNKE unit and it powered back on. We plugged in various cameras after that, some actually powered on, some caused the unit to power down, but the non-ANNKE power supply did NOT fail. After removing the affected cameras, the unit would power back on. There is obviously some major flaw in their integrated POE switch. All the cameras that caused their 2 power supplies to fail and their unit to power off, powered up fine on other external POE switches. The cameras that DID power on, their system auto-logs in, deletes the network settings and applies static IP's with a different network. WHAT company would do that? Run a DHCP server on your unit, so if we don't want to use your equipment again, we don't have to factory reset the cameras or statically configure a different network to get our cameras back.Ok, so blown power supplies, inaccessible cameras from their auto-configuration, what's next? Oh, how about the cameras that are added to their system, they delete all the OSD settings that you have preconfigured and put "ANNKE" on every camera image. To get it off, you have to log back into each camera and reset the OSD settings again.Never expected any of this...

After installing a 3.5" 4tb hard drive and connecting all my cameras via a cat6 ethernet cable I was pretty much up and running. I love the simplicity of PoE, one ethernet cable for power and data transmission. H265+ video compression is a welcomed feature and should allow for plenty of footage to be stored before overwrite kicks in. After using for 24hrs straight with a 5 camera setup, I checked the box for any signs of overheating and didn't notice anything. Hoping this lasts me for quite some time. The Annke app is relatively straight forward to use for live viewing and adjusting cameras. Satisfied so far.

The unit was small and neat, fitting the hard drive was simple, all the cables and screws are in the box. It took a little while to initialise the drive, and then I followed the setup wizard added 2 C800 8mp cameras and in about 15 mins had a working setup. Not bad. The picture quality was impressive, and getting the android Annke Vision app working was painless. Browsing the camera on the local lan with my browser was not possible. I use Chrome and although I did try to get it working, the plug-in didn't work. That loses the system a point. Altogether a pretty good system for the money.
