    Quality of this camera is very good for its price. My friend recommended me. Installation is very easy . I received all wires and connectors with it. Only thing I bought is hard disk. I have 3 bedroom house so wires are enough to cover whole area. It comes with 4 cameras, dvr without hard disk and all wires.

    Great product for the price.
    I have owned this for 3 years and for the price its been really good.
    The infra red on a couple of the cameras has played up a few times due to poor wiring inside though.

    I probably won’t purchase from here again though myself due to Amazons changes to Visa credit card purchases.

    Excellent piece of equipment and more than capable of my requirements. Easy to set up and install, the app that comes with the system is excellent. The installation requires holes to be drilled through the external wall to install camera! I am very pleased with my choice of system and the price.

    Easy to set up!

    I was very pleased with how quick the unit arrived, fitted cameras easy and very happy with the quality of the items. The only negative I found was the mouse that came with the system, plugged in to set up admin and password and found it didn’t work at all very disappointed. I had a mouse on a computer ,so used that to set up system. Other wise happy with overall experience setting up and working so far. Waiting for network cable to hook up to mobile app for our phones. Will update later.

    Needed to replace a very old Swann CCTV system, which was starting to have problems Wanted a wired system so that I could use wiring already installed. Quick set up for me, just unplug old DVR and cameras and plug in the new. Was not expecting to much for the price, pleasantly surprised, good quality video, reasonable night vision , easy to navigate software. For the price hard to fault. If you want a cheap wired CCTV system I recommend this.

    Remarkable picture quality for the price.

    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.

    Generally nice unit for price, good basic CCTV security and recording, playback function easy, also set up to mobile device XMeye program, also CMS Control desk unit to Computer / Laptop easy install. Good camera image and picture close up.

    Good camera system. It’s my belief this would be more difficult for a novice to setup. I am an IT/AV tech. Some of the advanced features are not well documented (rtsp streams etc) That being said for the price you are getting a great little camera system. I added a 2tb hard drive and get nearly 10 days of HD feed on all four channels. The features like video blind and motion alarms are very difficult to get to work correctly and will spam your email over night an email a minute if not setup well (which was hard even for myself who is in the trade) For this reason I have given four stars.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersArrived well packaged, all that was missing was the instruction CD, PDF obtainable via an email to customer service. There’s plenty of info out there on the www if you can’t figure it out.
    Advise setting up the kit before installing, just in case. After successfully fitting my own HDD, (I bought the cheaper non HDD version) I then put one camera up to see the result before putting up any more. The cameras are made of soft aluminium and unfortunately so is the main locking ring which holds them in place, not a good fit, you may need some tape to take up the slack in the threads.

    After a week the night vision on said camera had started to give out strange patterns around the image yet day time was spot on.
    I emailed customer service based in China, they were very quick on replying and a replacement camera was sent out and received within a week, UK sourced by the speed of it. All four cameras are now up and running. The HD quality is excellent during the day, the night vision is sort of ok. The play store mobile app works a fair amount of the time, dependant on internet speed which is always up and down. The Sansco customer service who as I mentioned earlier are based in China are, up to now very helpful.

    Two of the cameras have recently started, intermittently, to give out the strange patterns at night which I mentioned earlier. The reliability issue of the cameras is now in question hence my four stars. It’s not worth the effort of taking them down at the moment as the day time vision is good. WATCH THIS SPACE.

    I had a spare hard drive and monitor so this was economical and easy to set-up and use. Great picture quality even in low light. Used to secure front door and garden room inside and out. Easy to access remotely using phone app. Does need a little bit of tech/computer knowledge but nothing that Google can’t answer.
    Should have bought the 8 channel, 4 seemed enough but 4 cameras quickly becomes too few.

    Golden Review Award: 11 From Our UsersI 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.

    Replacement for my dying Maplin Sentient.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersAfter searching around the internet for a few days looking at different cctv systems from different websites I come across this system, I was debating whether to get a cheaper 720p system or a full hd system with a 2mp camera, am I glad I went with this! My neighbour has a 720p system and when I looked at the picture quality difference there is a remarkable difference.

    I am absolutely thrilled at this cctv system not only is it easy to set up the picture quality is amazing day and night! I was actually shocked at how good the quality is.

    Not only would I recommend this product I would recommend the seller.. unfortunately one of the cameras didn’t work upon installing but after a late night email to the seller (11.30pm!) i recieved a swift response and a new camera was sent to me in which I recieved in 2 days and problem solved!

    If your looking for a good quality cctv system for roughly 150 (including hard drive) then look no further get this!!

    Fantastic picture quality

    Golden Review Award: 9 From Our UsersThis is an upgrade from my Sannce 4 x camera DVR that had served its time of 4 Years
    Install for the Sansco was straight forward as i have all the cables in place from the previous DVR so re-used them
    the cameras them selfs surprised me great picture quality and sharpness day and night
    Night 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.been
    My 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 app
    It’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’

    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.

    Golden Review Award: 13 From Our UsersI searched and read so many reviews on different models on here but after a while opted to go for this SANSCO one. It’s pretty good and after setting it up and installing own hard drive, I wired up all 4 cameras to see if they worked and they did. The Image quality is very good. I then set up my phone to be able to view my cameras from there and it does work. It took a while as the instructions aren’t that easy to follow but you will be able to do so.

    The picture in the day is very clear and at night it is surprisingly good too with the night vision on so I do recommend this as for 99 you can’t really go wrong. Please note the 99 was without a hard drive, I bought my own 2TB drive and installed it.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersInstructions are quite poor so be prepared to be a bit tech savvy. However saying that any random teenager should be able to help. If you have technical understanding then you’ll actually find it really easy to set-up and get going in about 30mins. Do note that the recording quality that you choose will vastly affect recording lengths possible. Best quality, full frame on a 1tb drive gives about 7 days so consider adjusting quality and frame rates. Also the app when used on my wifi but connecting to the cloud and not locally totally killed my virgin hub, to the point it was performing a full reset and memory flash to become operationa again. Why, don’t know but also be aware that some ISPs do not support port forwarding with their routers so external ability to watch may be a bit hit and miss depending on who your with and what router you’ve go

    Fantastic piece of equipment. Came at a bargain price and the customer support is out of this world, if only everyone you bought off could be this good, Amazon would be bigger than the EU. Got it for security and peace of mind at night time. The picture is first class and from what I’ve seen has absolutely no ‘drag’. Packaged superbly with everything you could possibly need. Please note, you do need to get a hard-drive, these you can get (20 for a 500gb), they can be for desktop or a laptop but it MUST be SATA. You might even have an old one lying about at home. Not fully conversant with all of its ‘add ons’ yet but I got it for security and it gives me plenty of that without knowing all the ins and outs! This item gets 5 stars for all the things I mentioned. Customer service is VERY important when buying something like this, it was excellent and they must get at least an extra star (if I could give 6) for theirs.

    I bought this because it reads on the product ” access it remotely from both the internet via internet explorer and/or select 3G smart cell phones”… Well it does not work. I have it connected and set up its IP address and even set up port forwarding on my hub. It seems to connect to the device but the cameras are not being displayed.

    Updated: It does not work on some windows 10 devices and all windows phones. Finally got it to work on a W10 laptop, HP x360, but still not on the HP Pavillon I have. Also works on iPad and Android but is that not the same as every other device. Initially raised as 1 star but as I have finally persevered in getting it working it would be unfair to leave it as such. Just be warned that it will take a LOT of work in getting it working on your LAN and it only works on the WEB by going thru xmeye.net and connecting to the device serial number rather than registering.

    Golden Review Award: 24 From Our UsersThe system works as advertised, and gives a lot of peace of mind.

    Three points worthy of special notes of caution.

    1) The cameras have a narrow angle. The 6mm cameras are great for looking down a garden (ours is 100ft, at which point it gets the 30ft width in easily) but not so great for monitoring what is going on near the camera. In our case we mounted one camera under the 2nd storey soffit, looking down onto the driveway, wher we park close to the house. The camera picked up only the car, boot to windscreen incl. but is not wise enough angle to capture the 8m2 area we use for parking two cars. I replaced that camera with a Zosi 3.5mm aperture camera, same powered video concept – it plugged in and operates perfectly well, and I can see my whole driveway.

    2) They ain’t waterproof via the power cable in/out point! My soffit leaks a bit – I found out because I mounted one camera under that soffit and drilled up into it, passed the cables through that hole and thought all the electrics were safely out of the weather. The camera lasted just 8 hours; that night it rained heavily and the water made its way down my cable channel, into the camera body via the cable route, and it basically filled up with water. Mitigation: fill the underside where the cable goes into the camera stand, with a lot of flexible, waterproof bathroom caulk. And, yes, don’t have leaky soffits.

    3) The XmEye app that ships free with the system is easy to use and works. However, you should not use a guessable password or one that you use elsewhere. Choose a hard to guess but throwaway password. When I forgot my password and clicked the link to reset it, the XmEye “cloud” system sent me my password in plain text. To clarify: this means that, if you use their cloud based option (which you do when logging into your cameras from outside your home wifi range) XmEye stores your password “in the cloud” as PLAIN TEXT. If they are ever hacked the hackers would have your email and your password. Personally I can live with this because I’ve used throwaway password (one that you only use once for one site and don’t reuse in anything else like your email, facebook or twitter account or something like that).

    Nice piece of kit , cameras are brilliant picture quality is great .
    Only downside is lack of good instructions as it has many options.

    This system works really well and gives good quality images. Easy to setup and I love having access to the cameras in my home from my mobile phone. After running it for a few months my box developed a fault where it wouldn’t output via HDMI only VGA but the supplier had a replacement box to me by the end of the next working day. Excellent service!

    Easy to install. If you don’t find it easy you shouldn’t be installing it. Best quality for the price. Had some excellent after service from Maggie who addressed an issue I had very quickly

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersNo decent documentation with this and still trying to set up remote access and email/motion detection etc. I know it was cheap, but FFS come on, does it have to be so complicated? Looks good, but is it? Nope, I would honestly go for a decent system. I only went for this because it is all I can afford and to get a taste of using CCTV in the home.

    Tried to contact for help but there is not much contact info. That’s me had enough! I have asked for some documentation from supplier – Watch this space, will update with results. Did get contacted to ask if I wanted a refund. I don’t want a refund, I want proper documentation!! A refund would mean uninstalling the whole system which is already cabled/connected.

    UPDATE: Got sent some documentation which helped a bit and although the product isn’t perfect, It is probably a bargain at the price.

    Come on Sannce, get the finger out if you want to have good customer relations…

    Golden Review Award: 183 From Our UsersI bought this Kare 4 ch AHD cctv system after a lot of thought, reading loads of peoples reviews and doing a bit of research. This is the first kit I’ve ever had and was a bit worried about setting it up, but it is p2p enabled so all you need is a smart phone to be able to view from anywhere. There is literally no set up required other than download the app and point your camera at a bar code.
    If you are not interested in mobile viewing then it works straight from the box. You only need one power source for the dvr as the 4 cameras connect straight into the dvr and starts recording straight away.You will need a monitor or tv to view the video, but it does not have to be connected to record. If you don’t want to use all 4 cameras then don’t plug them in and only the cameras plugged in will work.
    The picture quality is brilliant during the day and as good as you would expect at night. I would recommend this system and to buy from the seller as he was really helpful when I couldn’t figure out a couple of things, and even took the time to ring me to talk me through, I would also recommend buying from Amazon because if you don’t like it you can send it back, but if you want a cctv kit you will not be disappointed with this one

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersThis is the second surveillance system I have bought the first one was no good but this product I absolutely love it was easy to set up and install. Easy to function. I have very clear images that are sharp. The play back is easy to figure out even for someone who knows nothing about it. Lots of help from the support if needed.

    Golden Review Award: 101 From Our UsersJust purchased this for my pub (part of licensing conditions) I needed a system that will record in high definition for 28 days which this will do with a 1tb hard drive. Company communications were first class as was delivery but the biggest surprise was that once you have the cameras fixed and plugged in the system starts recording as soon as power is turned on! It couldn’t be easier. You do have to set the date & time but that was easier than setting a video timer.
    The camera cables are very long (30m Ii think) so plenty of freedom to run them out of sight and they even automatically switch to infra red at night when lights go out.
    The unit is small, about the size of a set top box and very light.
    All in all a very simple high quality piece of kit. Recommended
