New C C T V SYSTEM. REPLACEMENT OF AN OLD SYSTEM Arrived safely in good packaging. Nothing missing. All complete. My old C C T V system was 20+ years old so important to update. Very, very pleased with this produc
Not bad for the price Easy to instal but camera angle can be difficult to adjust as the as the securing rim has very little give on the thread. Almost cross thread due to this. Fantastic follow up service
AMAZING If you are looking for a great quality system then this is the one. Have had a system which was far more expensive than this beauty before and the quality of that was poor. Literally not a single issue or bad word to say about this system. If you are in any doubt, click the buy now button you won’t regret i
Very Good Having used this system for a number of years now i have been very impressed with it. The night vision is excellent and so is the image quality. Excellent customer service from the supplier too.
Fantastic Product, Equally Fantastic Customer Support. The cameras and box were very easy to set up, paper instructions, but also range of helpful YouTube videos provided by Sansco, and fantastic customer services by email. Very friendly and keen to ensure customer satisfaction. We contacted for advice on ideal distance for positioning cameras.
Pictures from cameras are clear, night night vision is excellent too. Easy to install app for phone etc to enable viewing while away from home. Comes with built in hard drive and footage not required deleted every 30 days – which is standard.
In all we’eve had an excellent experience with this product.
Great system We purchased this cctv system in May 2019. It was very easy to set up, we have never had any issues. Great value for money. We have set the system up on the app and able to access the cameras remotely via our phone which is very reassuring when we are away from the house. We have never had any issues until recently but when we contacted the seller they were very helpful and helped to solve a problem we were having. I would highly recommend this system if you are looking for cameras for your home.
Good product, and good customer service. I purchased this some time ago but due to moving house and covid I hadnt opened the box. As Im travelling more it was time to install. I found the unit to be good quality, and when I did get stuck with the instructions the customer service team were very good and fast with replies. Based on my experience I would buy from them again.
Good value DIY camera system I wanted a simple DIY security camera system, and based on the description and reviews this seemed to tick all the boxes. One of the cameras didn’t work properly and this was promptly replaced by customer support. It was easy to set up, picture quality is very good, and the app that needs to be downloaded onto your phone works fine but isn’t perfect – there’s an advert that you need to click past to get access to your cameras, very occasionally it refuses to connect to the system, and it’s disappointing that the English translation hasn’t been sorted out (“buffering, please later”), which makes it look a bit amateurish. The main problem I’ve had with the system, though, is the motion detection: you can set the camera to “Alarm Record”, which highlights the recording in red when motion is detected, but even on it’s lowest sensitivity setting it’s ridiculously sensitive – the playback is full of red, and I can’t see what’s set it off! Perhaps it’s me, but it seems rubbish. So I don’t rely on this feature but simply use it to view remotely what’s going on, and have the HD recording as a back-up. Customer service is great. Overall then, a good buy for the money.
Well worth the money I must say that this CCTV system is good value for money. The problem was there was no instructions which is not good for the laymen amongst us. Saying that when I finally got it up and running it performs extremely well and I can recommend it to everyone else. I also managed to find a 17″ monitor for just 28 which made it a bargain system all round.

Good quality Really good quality, needed a replacement wire as one was faulty can’t fault the supplier wire replaced no issues.
Cameras are really good at night I was worried about that but there perfect.
Very sensitive to movement which is good and easy to set up

No fuss The product is super easy to install and use. Setting up the connection to my iPhone was very easy also.
The picture quality can’t be faulted and the night vision is very good.
I needed to contact customer support for a replacement/repair and the service was outstanding.
I will certainly recommend this!
Delivery and service great. After fitting camera’s they were great then one had gone due to the bitter cold weather, without hesitation they sent me another camera and cable.
After some tech questions replacement was very quick, would recommend not just for product but customer service too.
Thanks again guys.
Great service from Sansco The system worked straight out of the box and was easy to install and set up.
After a couple of months I had problems with the clarity of the picture at night on two cameras. I contacted Sansco and they responded within hours and sorted out the problem for me. Excellent product and customer service.
Good quality for price Happy with purchase good quality for price, box is a bit noisy and make sure you check which cable plugs need to go camera before installation as stickers were incorrect. Would buy agai
Very good system This CCTV system was installed as part on an upgrade on the house. The system was installed by the contractors and was easy to set up and use. The cameras give really good coverage and the picture quality is great. The night vision is very good.
I would definitely recommend this system. The price is very reasonable and this device gives great peace of mind and provided s sense of security.
Highly recommend this product to anyone new to adding CCTV to their premises.
Excellent bit of kit! Comes with everything you need to set up, installation is quick and simple (even for a beginner like me!) It’s very easy to link the camera to your phone as well as the TV/monitor and the picture quality, especially night-vision, is excellent. The 4 cameras give good coverage all around my property and the playback is really useful. A great addition to any home for added security and peace of mind.

Excellent Value Very happy with this kit for the money, its not the best, but definatly not the worst, considering the cost. A few simple modifications, a PI here, PoE there and it works brillianty.
Idiot proof to install, 4 cameras took 4 mins, its that easy, hold up the frame, drill, plug, screw, clip done.
Excellent pictures I like this sansco cctv it works excellent good clear picture and the night vision is better than I thought, you can see a good distance at night. I would like to see better manual, to make it easier for a beginner. One tip I can give if fitting the cameras outside, then get a external junction box for each connection point to the camera to help protect them. The after service was very good if I had any problems I would recommend this product.

Wouldn't buy agai Worked fine for about 11 months then the DVR drive started giving problems by not recording saying DVR error have to consistently formatt to keep it working as seems to be only recording on a small portion of the drive. Also have one of the cameras that fog’s up.
Great hardwired product and far better than a WIFI setup Well I was a little unsure buying as never heard of the product before, the kit was in my front room for a month before getting an installer. Very shocked at the quality and sharpness, (pictures are night vision B&W) and the daytime colour is perfect.
Very simple to set up and very user friendly, the box itself is a great size and about the same size of my Virgin Media setup so sits nicely!
Each cable is around 20m long for each camera that’s plenty for positioning where required, much better quality than my old IP wireless camera to say the least!
Very good system at a good price and my expert CCTV installer backed this up.

Very impressed with this set up for the money Bought this set up a few weeks ago and I have to say for the money I am very impressed it does everything it says it does the only one thing that I’d say when fitting is the connections on the camera are quite big so can be a bit tricky to feed through walls but other than that extremely impressed.
Great cctv system. Great cctv system at a good price. Easy to install and up and running straight away. Any problems and the company gets straight back to you with advice and solutions. Would highly recommend.
For the price ...... pretty amazing For the price point it’s hard to beat . It’s a very easy install and the clarity of images , both day and night is excellent . I particularly like the iPhone app where I can log in with a touch of a button and view my house over 4g with no problems . It’s great that you can rewind footage on the iPhone .
It took me 4-5 hours to install 4 cameras on a large semi detached 1960’s house covering front , back , side and doorway . Really happy with results and the customer service is good too as wanted some help with settings … this was answered within minutes . Night images are decent .
In all honesty bought this as a starter system but won’t be changing it up for quite a while . I have recommended to neighbours and a couple have bought the system and given the same feedback

I would give it 9.5/10 for value for money
'Mean' friends are the best kind of friends, science confirms says:
A brilliant product and service They are brilliant, only had it up 2 hours and not been able to turn it off since, the picture is great and worth every penny, only bad thing is the screws are not the easiest to use as heads thread easily.
Easy to install Easy install. One of our cables became faulty after a couple of weeks of working. I contacted sansco direct who quickly sent out a replacement cable. System works well and great customer service.
Functional, and support was able to fix a lockout. The user interface is functional but poor by modern standards.
It doesn’t detect a usb keyboard so you have to type on the stupid on-screen keyboard with the mouse, discouraging strong passwords.
After some time of use it stopped recognising the admin password, and I know it’s right because it’s the one in my password database.
Update: got a response now and they were able to reset the unit password.
Up to four stars because they responded, fixed the incorrect email on their website which was the reason for the delay, and got it working.
It seems to work well but had a few worries When I first opened the external packaging and saw the box I almost sent it back, the CE marking which as I understand is a legal requirement and advises the the equipment has passed all EU (& currently UK) requirements was wrong – it is what is termed the Chinese Export mark (the C & E are close together – Google it) which means nothing. However I did decide to look further and the power units have the correct CE mark (if you extend the C into a circle it should just touch the E) and the recorder has the Chinese Export Mark printed on it but also a correct CE sticker, Based upon the equipment and not the boxes I have decided to install it, in part that where a problem started – the instruction both printed and on line advise on how to wire and set it up – but how to take the cameras apart and install them and the sizes of holes to be drilled to run cable no indication, took 30 mins before I found out how to take the camera apart! The other concern is the connectors between camera and recorder, 20m in more than sufficient which is good but in some cases the cable / camera connection has to be outside (due to where the camera has to be mounted) and these connectors do not look water proof, so mine are placed within a small plastic bag – again no instructions. That said so far images seem to be of a good quality and the night IR seems good as well, not played any recordings back yet and have yet to connect it to the internet – as the recorder is a long way from my router.
Well worth the money. We weren’t expecting big things for the price especially as it is for 4 cameras however we have been pleasantly surprised. Image clarity is fantastic and the night vision is great. It was easy to install and the system is straightforward to use and takes up very little space. I like the fact I can use the app to log into the cameras from my mobile and zoom in on specific areas and I can play back from my mobile as well, we also have it connected to our tv. The set up comes with everything you need.
The motion detection works but the downside is even on the ‘lower’ sensitivity setting it’s very sensitive and sets off at the smallest movements, I had to switch it off.
I’ve attached some photos to show the clarity but please note they’re cropped to cut out neighbouring properties, the cameras have a wider spread than shown.
the best ever customer service. The cameras had a small flaw on them as some products sometimes get but the customer service is unbelievably AMAZING.
So the customer service tried to cintcat me about the issue via email. Which I didn’t have time to check. So they managed to whatsapp me, which is great and now the problem is sorted.
Good System Great product for the price. Day picture quality is excellent. Night vision is adequate. Mostion detection etc is tricky to programme and not great.
One of the four cameras night vision failed after 3 months but manufacturer is sending out replacement other then that no issues.
Overall considering price of product with other products of similar spec I would definitely recommend.
Great system, wonderful customer suppo What can I say? This is an excellent purchase for two reasons:
The equipment is easy to use and gives great coverage
The quality of customer service has been outstanding.
When I received the equipment I put it up and configured it pretty easily but did have an issue with a couple of cameras and the cable connection to the DVR. I had a little challenge getting two of the cables off the DVR and felt it best to reach out to support for help.
They were immediately supportive and offered useful advice and then sent new equipment to make things as easy as possible for me.
The company’s attention to my needs was very, very high.
My system is doing everything I hoped it would and with their support behind me I would be really happy to recommend this system to you.
When choosing ask yourself where you think you will place your cameras and this might influence your camera choice. The Domes are good for a ceiling/soffit type position and the bullets for side of houses. That way you will get the most flexible positioning. There are options available which do two of each. If you are unsure reach out to the seller and I’m certain they will help you.
Overall an excellent purchase backed by wonderful support.
Great system. Great cctv cameras. I needed it for a shed and for the house. East to use when you need to play back. Great system. If you have a problem using the system or a problem with it they definitely help you and sort it for you.
Very pleased. I have been very impressed with the Sansco system. The cameras are very sharp in image and with HD mode. With the cameras you can zoom in the image, these are not panand tilt, but that doesn’t detract from the quality. The system is easy to set up with a set by set on board menu. I can access the cameras remotely with the app which is also easy to use. I hard wired the head unit into my router for my Internet connect. The system is password protected so it is only you getting access on the Web.
All in all I have recommended this system to friends and shown them first hand,
Buy with confidence from this seller, they have excellent customer service, easy to contact and reply to any query with haste.

Extremely good price Absolutely love these cameras, very easy to set up and delivery was fast. Condition in which they arrived again was good. Would highly recommend this produc
Poo Had an issue with faulty system customer service is VERY POOR after installing all the system I had to take it all down repack it’s all to return it because they don’t sell any spare parts ONLY NEEDED TWO POWER ADAPTERS FOR THE SYSTEM
Be careful if you are thinking of buying one of these systems because it could end up costing you a lot of time and money if it’s faulty
I WILL NEVER BUY THIS BRAND AGAIN AND I THINK AMAZON DON’T WANT TO KNOW ONCE THEY’VE HAD YOUR MONEY OF YOU
VERY VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE

Great quality for the price! On unboxing I was immediately impressed by the cameras which felt well built and look to be of good quality.
Installation was as expected having to fix 4 cameras and route a lot of cabling around the house. There was more than enough cable to easily install the system.
Once the cameras where connected to the hard drive it was easy enough to get the system started using the TV in the bedroom. The picture is of good quality. My friend bought a cheaper system with a lower spec but agreed the picture quality on this system was definitely better than his.
I bought this system for my daughter and once the initial install was complete I left her with it to sort out the mobile phone set up using the app. She struggled a bit at first (this may have been down to her) but can now access the system on both her and her partners mobile phones. She can see what’s happening in real time and can also look back over what has been recorded on any of the cameras. The only thing she had to do was buy a TP Link (Cost 17) for internet access. This was only because the hard drive was upstairs and not close enough to the router to connect by ethernet cable.
Overall:
Although we have only just installed this system, our first impressions are that it is a very good quality system for the money. It has given my daughter and myself peace of mind as she has recently experienced a couple of security issues. I am so impressed I am considering ordering myself one of these systems in the very near future.

Basic kit but brilliant for the price. I don’t usually write reviews but I will for this.
I had an issue with one of the dome cameras when it was sent out, it was dead on arrival. I tried to contact amazon support, they told me to purchase a new one on their site and I would be refunded. Big mistake, they only offered me a 10 gift voucher afterwards as the item was ‘3rd party’.
I then contacted the seller direct, they replied within an hour, a brand new dome camera arrived within 48 hours, no charge, and I didn’t have to return the dead one to them. So top marks for customer service (from the seller, not amazon).
I have been testing the unit for a few days now, the DVR is silent and compact. Software is generic and so identical to most other cctv units. Dome cameras are compact, solidly built and metal – they appear watertight but too soon to tell. Cabling is plentiful and appears of good quality.
Picture quality is 1080p, I can make out car license plates at 15 metres, you have to play about with the frame rate to really get the best video though.Night-vision is actually very good at close range, but more than 15 metres detail suffers (but thats with all IR cctv cameras too).
I bought this after my car had a break in, and the quality is certainly more than what I would need for this sort of purpose. I’d recommend this set up for internal or close range outdoor viewing if you really need detail.
All in all a bargain for the price. I spent about a month shopping around and researching before purchasing, and sansco really do seem to be at the top end of the budget range. 1080p is more than adequate for domestic use.
Good system - faulty camera! Having read reviews I went for this product. Came next day and I spent all day setting up. So far so good on 3 out of the 4 cameras! Unfortunately the last camera I set up seems to have developed a fault. Started clear and okay, then started fuzzing and cutting out. Now it’s hardly viewable! Quite disappointing….
Great customer service from Sansco Good value for a 4-camera CCTV system. Extremely easy to install. Superb customer service from Sansco also; 1 x camera within my system was faulty. Amazon would only replace the entire system (which was already installed) where as when I contacted Sansco direct they were more than happy to send out a replacement camera without me having to do a thing. Would recommend
Great CCTV system - Even better price! This system is brilliant, easy to set up, great cameras, great picture quality and a DVR that is easy to use and comes with a 1TB hard drive. It is also easily monitored over the internet with an app for your phone or using the CMS software that you can install on your PC.
Customer service is also very good i e-mailed Sansco about a bit of difficulty that i was having and i had a reply within 30 mins and my problem was solved.
This really is money well spent! Very happy with purchase.
Excellent Value For Money Very easy to install, the cables are all marked which is a help. Pretty much plug and play but the menu offers basic setting adjustments which i have yet to get into. The alarm function appears to be really sensitive (again – only tried it for one night – but there were a few alarms rasied). Camera quality is excellent as is the daytime picture, Nightime seems a wee bit grainy but I am not sure if this is my settings….will try tweaking them over the next few nights. App function works no problem and I found it very handy when aligning the cameras. All in all an excellent system for the money.

Top rate CCTV system that easy to set up This system is very easy to set up, with plug n play cameras. The system has lots of function and can email and text alerts from motion detection. Plenty of youtube videos to help, and the customer service via Isansco FB pages very responsive.
If you only need a small system (4x cameras) you will not be disappointed Fantastic system. For the price I wasn’t expecting much, but how wrong could I have been? Excellent value, excellent quality and very straight forward to fit. I have it connected to a very old monitor via VGA, the picture quality is excellent, cant wait to see what it’s like on a modern hdmi one. I have only just looked into the features of this system and it keeps impressing me.
Good cameras Nice cameras neat and smart few technical issues to start with but the team are very helpful and dealt with my problems very happy now would recommend 2 anyone only issues ive been having is water getting in when there supposed to be waterproof ive had more cameras delivered to replace them ive now had to buy cctv covers which im not happy abou
Still under evaluatio Picture quality during the day perfect for what i require
Night vision not so good, blurred but i suspect this is my fault – guess i will find out when i finally mount the camara later this week.
Motion detection not tested yet, mainly due to the lack of a user manual need to investigate online
for the price i would say it’s about what i would expect, value for money YES
Great Price for what you get!!! It’s a pretty good system, good quality and good cabling. Software kind of old and complicated. Also the app is quite laggy on IOS, but works good!
For this price, it’s a perfect system! I definitely recommend it!
Great product at a good price Bought this product as external home security. It offered a good balance between price and features. I was influenced by the reviews which were very positive so I purchased it with eager anticipation.
Product arrived the next day as promised and was very securely packaged. The quick start guide enclosed in the box was simple and easy to read and understand. I had no trouble connecting up the four cameras within the house prior to installation so that I could adjust the settings.
The one downside that I have discovered is that there is not a manual with the product and you are expected to download the online version. This is not an issue but I would have found it more useful to have the manual next to me while setting up the cameras and base unit. I have set up the recording facility and I can view it on my mobile device but have not purchased a monitor yet so cannot set up the recording unit settings.
I live in a three bedroom terraced house and the cabling supplied was more than adequate to run from within the roof down to the ground floor and connect into the recording unit. I mounted a camera on the four corners of the house and after installation discovered that one of the cameras was showing a very blurry image despite being set on HD. I contacted the supplier directly (having bought the product off amazon) and they responded within 24 hours (even in lock down). I explained my problem and they were more that happy to replace my faulty camera. (awaiting delivery of camera at time of writing this review).
Their customer service has been excellent and their communication has been good throughout my dealings with them. I have been dealing with the same person to sort the issue out which has made the whole process easier.
Ok product for the price Everything good apart from one camera stuck on infra red during the day and normal at night. This means it is useless at night time.
Product. This is amazing product, its accessible via an app so you can always see whats going on and it’s its super easy to use, my sister also brought it. Also say after sales have been great in helping with issues with the picture settings.
Excellent value for money ki Value for money wise this kit is fantastic. Great picture quality for general use and the App is brilliant to allow easy playback on your phone or iPad. If you need to read car reg though or make out really clear facial features you will need to spend more money however. For 9 out of 10 people this kit will please you, the other one person wants a Ferrari for the price of a Renaul
Excellent system Excellent system as described set-up really easy system, took me day & 3/4 to run cables for the x4 camera’s where I wanted them to go & was on my own doing it by myself so pretty good.
Very pleased with system & support I required to complete the email set-up
Great CCTV package Comparing this item to similar products of considerably more cost I have to say this package provides very good value for money. I’ve had these cameras for about a year and they work great. Picture quality is sound in HD and the night vision is decent at this price range. Footage is stored on the box for two weeks and the playback function is easy to navigate which is great for reviewing your CCTV. Would recommend this product.
Great Customer Service Bought this for round my house . Great system for the money , Good clear pics , decent night vision and good motion detection .Seems a better picture on a Phone or Tablet .Delivered in good time ,set it up first off all ok , tried to copy some files to a usb stick but DVR wouldnt recognise the usb. Contacted Customer Services who were brilliant . Just asked me to format the USB and follow a small video to show how to copy files . Did this no joy . Back to Customer Services ,Straight away apologised for the inconvenience , return the DVR only ,for Exchange . Sent the DVR back ,new one arrived next day ,must have posted as soon as they read my email. New DVR fine all up and running . I cannot fault service like that ,no arguments ,no try this, try that . Straight swap and no hassle . All this was done by email and replies were very fast. When you buy something you dont want problems ,but sometimes they happen , thats when you want it sorted quickly ,this company did that . Other companies can learn from these people . Would just like to mention the lady who dealt with my problem was Eileen , she was very helpful and very professional.
Would highly recommend this company to friends and family who are looking for a good CCTV system at a very good price .
Very impressed I don’t often write reviews but I do believe this deserves one. I’m a very techy person and I got this CCTV as I’ve always wanted a system for a while now but haven’t got round to it. I chose this one as it came as a complete set with the hard drive, I also preferred the dome style cameras.
The cameras:
-I was incredibly surprised by the build quality of the cameras. I wasn’t expecting such good quality for the price But the cameras are solid metal and heavy
– The image quality was again above expectations for this price. I could easily pick up number plates at the end of my property
– The camera unscrews from the mount, which allows you to screw the mount in place, then add the camera. This prevents someone from unscrewing them.
– The camera also swivels in all directions which was easy to do. Once it is in the right position you just screw it tight and it wont move anywhere!
– It comes with three screws and also raw plugs if you want the camera mounted to a wall.
– The camera has approximately 50cm of cable before the plug, This helped me massively as I installed my camera in the plastic overhang of my house. So the 50cm of cable sat inside the overhang of the house which was waterproof ,then from there i connected the main cable to the DVR.
The DVR:
– Firstly the interface is advanced but simple
– It works just like a computer, it has a mouse and an interactive interface. Theres an option for almost everything
– I set my cameras to record all the time, but also to record motion. I liked the idea of this as if the motion didn;t pick something up I could still watch the footage bacm. The playback bar also shows where motion was detected, this is marked in red (as seen in the photos) so you know exactly what time motion was detected
– I liked how you can set motion zones so you can exclude certain areas where the camera wont trigger from.
– There is also an option where if motion is detected on one camera, you can set other cameras to start recording too
– There is an option to notify you by phone if there is motion and also if the camera feed stops or is covered by something like spray paint
– Without writing everything you can do, theres enough features to do pretty much whatever you want
Other good points
– It comes with a remote control to control the DVR, also comes with batteries
– DVR is small which is good to hide in your house somewhere
– I contacted support and they replied quickly
– Came packed really well!
A minor negative:
Only three screws came with each camera but there was four holes. However, I juts used the three screws at that seemed plenty enough
In conclusion:
I’d definitely recommend this as a CCTV systems. The quality for the price is brilliant and does everything I needed it to do
Great system.well with the money.you will not be dissapointed Very quick delivery,quality equipment for a very reasonable price. The picture quality is very good. easy to set up and very pleased .would highly recommend.
well done sansco
Absolute steal. You get loads for your money. After installing and setting everything up, I was amazed with the picture quality and how straight forward the user interface was. Detailed settings and schedules are brilliant and play back is a breeze. Love it.
So far so good. Have only started setting up so cannot comment on how long lasting these cameras are but from trying the, out they seem to be working well and for the price I paid good value for money.
I will update the review once these have been running accordingly as at the moment I can only give 4 stars as I don’t know how well they will last over time and in varying conditions.
Perfect cameras, great service team Beautiful, sleek and inconspicuous cameras. Slight set-up issue which was very quickly resolved by the exceptionally professional service team. The cameras were easy to install and showed a perfectly clear picture. I would highly recommended this product and company A+++
Entry level product with great customer service 👍 This system worked fine when I first purchased it and tested it upon arrival. However, due to personal circumstances I was unable to properly install the cameras until some time later. When I did, the system no longer recorded any footage and didn’t recognise that it has a hard drive.
I made contact with the company and they arranged a replacement, even though the product is out of warranty by over a year.
Sansco have been great and it would seem that the problem was a faulty adapter.
System works fine now, which is a relief because the cameras were hard work to install and didn’t fancy taking them down.
A Heavyweight Feature-Packed 1080P CCTV System for a Lightweight Price I purchased this system in November last year and decided to wait a few months before posting a review. Anyway, This feature-packed system is now set up on both our phones (Android and iPhone), iPad, laptop and PC. This in addition to the standard interface already built into the DVR. Whilst the night vision appears perfectly competent for capturing adequate detail for its intended purpose, we’ve also used the movement alarm feature to watch local foxes without the hassle of sitting, staring at hours of no action waiting for one to appear – obviously, the same applies to any that moves – a red trace on the recorded timeline indicating movement. Sure, there are higher resolution systems out there, but they are significantly more expensive. After 4 months, my 170 Sansco (it was 170 last November) has caught the local dogwalker who doesn’t (or didn’t) clear up after his dog and a youth who thought it would be clever to climb over the top of my neighbour’s car!!!! This in addition to our local fox family! A very recent minor issue with the DVR was rectified with a full, no quibble, replacement in two days flat. What’s not to like? Great 5-Star value and full of useful features.
faulty camera was very pleased with this set but now one of my cameras has already gone wrong.very bright colours.have disconnected/unplugged/restarted.still the same.
Excellent cctv system Bought to replace an old system.
Vastly improved quality on any system I’ve seen.
Don’t be tempted to use your old cabling if this is a replacement as the new cabling is great quality.
Great picture quality day and night.
Easy to set up.
The app is very good and fully functional and easy to use.
Very pleased with the system and will buy again when my other units fail.

Excellent product and great value for money I purchased this 4-camera system to improve my home security by covering the front, rear and sides of my property. I have never installed a CCTV system before and I was very pleased at how easy the whole process was. I purchased Sansco’s 4-camera CCTV system with dome cameras based on reviews I had read and I have not been disappointed with my purchase, which I think is great value for money, and it is a really sophisticated piece of kit with lots of features.
I intentionally avoided purchasing a wireless based system as I wanted a solution that would not be susceptible to signal reception issues. The 4 CCTV video/power cables provided with the kit were plenty long enough to cover a large 4-bedroom detached property with cameras covering all external sides of the property. I ran the cables up through the eaves and across the loft and into an upstairs cupboard where I have the DVR located.
The dome cameras do require a bit of patience to position them but you have an almost unlimited possibilities of angles to choose from. When doing high-ladder work, it does help if you have already setup the DVR recorder, connected it to the Internet, and installed the XMEye phone app on your phone (I was using the Android version on a Samsung S8 phone) as you can tinker with the camera position before tightening up the fixings.
I mounted each camera on a Diall Grey 57A Junction box 100mm which I purchased from B&Q. The beauty of doing this is that I could hide the short cable that comes out from the back of the camera, which has a BNC connector and round power connector at the end of that cable which needs to be connected to the long cable that you need to run back to the DVR. I drilled a hole through the cover of the Diall junction box, poked the camera cable through it, and then mounted the dome base to the cover. Doing it like this simplified the mounting process for the camera and should I need to replace a camera in the future, it makes it very simple to remove the camera.
Setting up the DVR was very simple. I do work in IT and as such, I did not need to read the manual to configure and install the system. The interface is pretty intuitive and I really like that you can download a desktop client software (CMS) to your computer and configure and manage the DVR from there if you don’t want to do it directly from the DVR. I didn’t know CMS was available so I fully configured the system directly on the DVR but I have subsequently tinkered with my settings using the CMS software.
A few of the best features of the DVR are:
1. You can add up to 4 black rectangles (any size) per camera if you need to blackout or redact areas that you do not want to capture on camera (e.g. if you are camera is picking up your neighbours garden).
2. NTP – you can configure a public network time server so that your recordings will always have an accurate time stamp which is really important if you do need to refer back to the cameras
3. You can add a label and time stamp on each camera and you have the flexibility to position this to any location that you wish per camera, which is extremely flexible
4. XMEye phone app is really good and gives me a lot of comfort that I can take a quick peek if we are out for the day or away for the weekend that all is well at home
5. CMS application is also extremely useful as you can use that to playback footage, download video, and fully configure the system. This means that you don’t need a separate LCD monitor or worry about locating the DVR in a location where you can easily get to it. You do need to do the initial configuration on the DVR but once it is connected to your home network, you don’t really need to touch the DVR. Please note that the DVR doesn’t support wireless and does need to be connected via an ethernet cable. This wasn’t an issue for me.
6. Night vision is pretty damn good – our road is pretty dark at night and yet you still get a pretty decent picture in black & white. It still is never going to be as good as the footage you get during the day time when the picture is in full colour but nonetheless, for the money and size of the camera, it is pretty impressive!
7. I did need to reach out to Sansco support and found them to be excellent and responsive. Support was done via Facebook messenger via a link on their website and I got timely responses back.
Word of caution. The system does have motion detection but if you are placing the cameras externally, don’t have too higher expectation on the motion detection. Yes it works, but it will also provide a lot of false positives. You can alter the sensitivity but ultimately, this is using digital motion detection which is not the same as an IR detector like you get on a security garage light.
In summary, I can’t believe how good value for money this kit is considering you are getting a full home security kit. Hopefully, it will act as a good deterrent too and will mean I have a bit more peace of mind when my property is not occupied.
Clear picture Really happy with this product. We purchased after a friend recommended it to us and I can say we’re pleased we did. Clear picture, different viewing modes and easy to use.
Great CCTV kit for the price and good quality Excellent product for the price. Easy installation. Good quality pictures from the 4 HD camera’s and good quality night time pictures also due to the high number of infra reds. I noticed a problem with the DVR after a short while, I think it’s a noisy disk drive but the seller has been very kind and offered to exchange the DVR even though it’s past the returns window.
New C C T V SYSTEM. REPLACEMENT OF AN OLD SYSTEM
Arrived safely in good packaging. Nothing missing. All complete. My old C C T V system was 20+ years old so important to update. Very, very pleased with this produc
decent system
find this good value for the money, cameras are sturdy and strong handy enough to fit. picture quality good, worth the price.
Home security
Great picture quality, easy to install, playback quality is grea
Not bad for the price
Easy to instal but camera angle can be difficult to adjust as the as the securing rim has very little give on the thread. Almost cross thread due to this. Fantastic follow up service
AMAZING
If you are looking for a great quality system then this is the one. Have had a system which was far more expensive than this beauty before and the quality of that was poor. Literally not a single issue or bad word to say about this system. If you are in any doubt, click the buy now button you won’t regret i
4 camera DIY
Great job and well pleasd. One of my camera’s was DOA and it was replaced straight away.
Would highly recommend.
Very Good
Having used this system for a number of years now i have been very impressed with it. The night vision is excellent and so is the image quality. Excellent customer service from the supplier too.
Very clea
Easy to install & set up which was a surprise great product support
Very clear picture too
Fantastic Product, Equally Fantastic Customer Support.
The cameras and box were very easy to set up, paper instructions, but also range of helpful YouTube videos provided by Sansco, and fantastic customer services by email. Very friendly and keen to ensure customer satisfaction. We contacted for advice on ideal distance for positioning cameras.
Pictures from cameras are clear, night night vision is excellent too. Easy to install app for phone etc to enable viewing while away from home. Comes with built in hard drive and footage not required deleted every 30 days – which is standard.
In all we’eve had an excellent experience with this product.
Great system
We purchased this cctv system in May 2019. It was very easy to set up, we have never had any issues. Great value for money. We have set the system up on the app and able to access the cameras remotely via our phone which is very reassuring when we are away from the house. We have never had any issues until recently but when we contacted the seller they were very helpful and helped to solve a problem we were having. I would highly recommend this system if you are looking for cameras for your home.
Good product, and good customer service.
I purchased this some time ago but due to moving house and covid I hadnt opened the box. As Im travelling more it was time to install. I found the unit to be good quality, and when I did get stuck with the instructions the customer service team were very good and fast with replies. Based on my experience I would buy from them again.
Very good produc
Fantastic service. Extremely satisfied with product and customer service. Definitely recommend.
Good value DIY camera system
I wanted a simple DIY security camera system, and based on the description and reviews this seemed to tick all the boxes. One of the cameras didn’t work properly and this was promptly replaced by customer support. It was easy to set up, picture quality is very good, and the app that needs to be downloaded onto your phone works fine but isn’t perfect – there’s an advert that you need to click past to get access to your cameras, very occasionally it refuses to connect to the system, and it’s disappointing that the English translation hasn’t been sorted out (“buffering, please later”), which makes it look a bit amateurish. The main problem I’ve had with the system, though, is the motion detection: you can set the camera to “Alarm Record”, which highlights the recording in red when motion is detected, but even on it’s lowest sensitivity setting it’s ridiculously sensitive – the playback is full of red, and I can’t see what’s set it off! Perhaps it’s me, but it seems rubbish. So I don’t rely on this feature but simply use it to view remotely what’s going on, and have the HD recording as a back-up. Customer service is great. Overall then, a good buy for the money.
Well worth the money
I must say that this CCTV system is good value for money. The problem was there was no instructions which is not good for the laymen amongst us. Saying that when I finally got it up and running it performs extremely well and I can recommend it to everyone else. I also managed to find a 17″ monitor for just 28 which made it a bargain system all round.

The product is super easy to install and use. Setting up the connection to my iPhone was very easy also.
The picture quality can’t be faulted and the night vision is very good.
I needed to contact customer support for a replacement/repair and the service was outstanding.
I will certainly recommend this!
Delivery and service great.
After fitting camera’s they were great then one had gone due to the bitter cold weather, without hesitation they sent me another camera and cable.
After some tech questions replacement was very quick, would recommend not just for product but customer service too.
Thanks again guys.
Great service from Sansco
The system worked straight out of the box and was easy to install and set up.
After a couple of months I had problems with the clarity of the picture at night on two cameras. I contacted Sansco and they responded within hours and sorted out the problem for me. Excellent product and customer service.
Good quality for price
Happy with purchase good quality for price, box is a bit noisy and make sure you check which cable plugs need to go camera before installation as stickers were incorrect. Would buy agai
Very good system
This CCTV system was installed as part on an upgrade on the house. The system was installed by the contractors and was easy to set up and use. The cameras give really good coverage and the picture quality is great. The night vision is very good.
I would definitely recommend this system. The price is very reasonable and this device gives great peace of mind and provided s sense of security.
Highly recommend this product to anyone new to adding CCTV to their premises.
Excellent bit of kit!
Comes with everything you need to set up, installation is quick and simple (even for a beginner like me!) It’s very easy to link the camera to your phone as well as the TV/monitor and the picture quality, especially night-vision, is excellent. The 4 cameras give good coverage all around my property and the playback is really useful. A great addition to any home for added security and peace of mind.

Perfec
Perfect picture, app works great too, mouse did come damaged a little but won’t mark the product down for that at this price
Excellent Value
Very happy with this kit for the money, its not the best, but definatly not the worst, considering the cost. A few simple modifications, a PI here, PoE there and it works brillianty.
Idiot proof to install, 4 cameras took 4 mins, its that easy, hold up the frame, drill, plug, screw, clip done.
All in all very happy
Good for the money
Easy to set up. Good quality if your monitor is good. Viewing through the phone is good quality too and easy to use
Picture quality excelle
Problem with communication with Sansco now resolved. Cctv package is excellent.
Excellent pictures
I like this sansco cctv it works excellent good clear picture and the night vision is better than I thought, you can see a good distance at night. I would like to see better manual, to make it easier for a beginner. One tip I can give if fitting the cameras outside, then get a external junction box for each connection point to the camera to help protect them. The after service was very good if I had any problems I would recommend this product.

Great camera
Great quality camera, very clear and good night vision! Very easy to set up and to view on mobile!
Wouldn't buy agai
Worked fine for about 11 months then the DVR drive started giving problems by not recording saying DVR error have to consistently formatt to keep it working as seems to be only recording on a small portion of the drive. Also have one of the cameras that fog’s up.
Great hardwired product and far better than a WIFI setup
Well I was a little unsure buying as never heard of the product before, the kit was in my front room for a month before getting an installer. Very shocked at the quality and sharpness, (pictures are night vision B&W) and the daytime colour is perfect.
Very simple to set up and very user friendly, the box itself is a great size and about the same size of my Virgin Media setup so sits nicely!
Each cable is around 20m long for each camera that’s plenty for positioning where required, much better quality than my old IP wireless camera to say the least!
Very good system at a good price and my expert CCTV installer backed this up.

Very impressed with this set up for the money
Bought this set up a few weeks ago and I have to say for the money I am very impressed it does everything it says it does the only one thing that I’d say when fitting is the connections on the camera are quite big so can be a bit tricky to feed through walls but other than that extremely impressed.
Great cctv system.
Great cctv system at a good price. Easy to install and up and running straight away. Any problems and the company gets straight back to you with advice and solutions. Would highly recommend.
For the price ...... pretty amazing
For the price point it’s hard to beat . It’s a very easy install and the clarity of images , both day and night is excellent . I particularly like the iPhone app where I can log in with a touch of a button and view my house over 4g with no problems . It’s great that you can rewind footage on the iPhone .
It took me 4-5 hours to install 4 cameras on a large semi detached 1960’s house covering front , back , side and doorway . Really happy with results and the customer service is good too as wanted some help with settings … this was answered within minutes . Night images are decent .
In all honesty bought this as a starter system but won’t be changing it up for quite a while . I have recommended to neighbours and a couple have bought the system and given the same feedback
I would give it 9.5/10 for value for money

A brilliant product and service
They are brilliant, only had it up 2 hours and not been able to turn it off since, the picture is great and worth every penny, only bad thing is the screws are not the easiest to use as heads thread easily.
Easy to install
Easy install. One of our cables became faulty after a couple of weeks of working. I contacted sansco direct who quickly sent out a replacement cable. System works well and great customer service.
Security cameras
I found it very easy to install… you can connect to the internet if you want..night vision is almost daytime…
Functional, and support was able to fix a lockout.
The user interface is functional but poor by modern standards.
It doesn’t detect a usb keyboard so you have to type on the stupid on-screen keyboard with the mouse, discouraging strong passwords.
After some time of use it stopped recognising the admin password, and I know it’s right because it’s the one in my password database.
Update: got a response now and they were able to reset the unit password.
Up to four stars because they responded, fixed the incorrect email on their website which was the reason for the delay, and got it working.
It seems to work well but had a few worries
When I first opened the external packaging and saw the box I almost sent it back, the CE marking which as I understand is a legal requirement and advises the the equipment has passed all EU (& currently UK) requirements was wrong – it is what is termed the Chinese Export mark (the C & E are close together – Google it) which means nothing. However I did decide to look further and the power units have the correct CE mark (if you extend the C into a circle it should just touch the E) and the recorder has the Chinese Export Mark printed on it but also a correct CE sticker, Based upon the equipment and not the boxes I have decided to install it, in part that where a problem started – the instruction both printed and on line advise on how to wire and set it up – but how to take the cameras apart and install them and the sizes of holes to be drilled to run cable no indication, took 30 mins before I found out how to take the camera apart! The other concern is the connectors between camera and recorder, 20m in more than sufficient which is good but in some cases the cable / camera connection has to be outside (due to where the camera has to be mounted) and these connectors do not look water proof, so mine are placed within a small plastic bag – again no instructions. That said so far images seem to be of a good quality and the night IR seems good as well, not played any recordings back yet and have yet to connect it to the internet – as the recorder is a long way from my router.
Great produc
Great product which is competitively priced. Easy to fit and great customer support also!
Well worth the money.
We weren’t expecting big things for the price especially as it is for 4 cameras however we have been pleasantly surprised. Image clarity is fantastic and the night vision is great. It was easy to install and the system is straightforward to use and takes up very little space. I like the fact I can use the app to log into the cameras from my mobile and zoom in on specific areas and I can play back from my mobile as well, we also have it connected to our tv. The set up comes with everything you need.
The motion detection works but the downside is even on the ‘lower’ sensitivity setting it’s very sensitive and sets off at the smallest movements, I had to switch it off.
I’ve attached some photos to show the clarity but please note they’re cropped to cut out neighbouring properties, the cameras have a wider spread than shown.
the best ever customer service.
The cameras had a small flaw on them as some products sometimes get but the customer service is unbelievably AMAZING.
So the customer service tried to cintcat me about the issue via email. Which I didn’t have time to check. So they managed to whatsapp me, which is great and now the problem is sorted.
Good System
Great product for the price. Day picture quality is excellent. Night vision is adequate. Mostion detection etc is tricky to programme and not great.
One of the four cameras night vision failed after 3 months but manufacturer is sending out replacement other then that no issues.
Overall considering price of product with other products of similar spec I would definitely recommend.
Great system, wonderful customer suppo
What can I say? This is an excellent purchase for two reasons:
The equipment is easy to use and gives great coverage
The quality of customer service has been outstanding.
When I received the equipment I put it up and configured it pretty easily but did have an issue with a couple of cameras and the cable connection to the DVR. I had a little challenge getting two of the cables off the DVR and felt it best to reach out to support for help.
They were immediately supportive and offered useful advice and then sent new equipment to make things as easy as possible for me.
The company’s attention to my needs was very, very high.
My system is doing everything I hoped it would and with their support behind me I would be really happy to recommend this system to you.
When choosing ask yourself where you think you will place your cameras and this might influence your camera choice. The Domes are good for a ceiling/soffit type position and the bullets for side of houses. That way you will get the most flexible positioning. There are options available which do two of each. If you are unsure reach out to the seller and I’m certain they will help you.
Overall an excellent purchase backed by wonderful support.
Great system.
Great cctv cameras. I needed it for a shed and for the house. East to use when you need to play back. Great system. If you have a problem using the system or a problem with it they definitely help you and sort it for you.
Very pleased.
I have been very impressed with the Sansco system. The cameras are very sharp in image and with HD mode. With the cameras you can zoom in the image, these are not panand tilt, but that doesn’t detract from the quality. The system is easy to set up with a set by set on board menu. I can access the cameras remotely with the app which is also easy to use. I hard wired the head unit into my router for my Internet connect. The system is password protected so it is only you getting access on the Web.
All in all I have recommended this system to friends and shown them first hand,
Buy with confidence from this seller, they have excellent customer service, easy to contact and reply to any query with haste.

Absolutely love these cameras, very easy to set up and delivery was fast. Condition in which they arrived again was good. Would highly recommend this produc
Great piece of Ki
Great piece of kit and very easy to install.
The app works really well and great aftercare.
Would recommend to friends and family.
Had an issue with faulty system customer service is VERY POOR after installing all the system I had to take it all down repack it’s all to return it because they don’t sell any spare parts ONLY NEEDED TWO POWER ADAPTERS FOR THE SYSTEM
Be careful if you are thinking of buying one of these systems because it could end up costing you a lot of time and money if it’s faulty
I WILL NEVER BUY THIS BRAND AGAIN AND I THINK AMAZON DON’T WANT TO KNOW ONCE THEY’VE HAD YOUR MONEY OF YOU
VERY VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE

Great quality for the price!
On unboxing I was immediately impressed by the cameras which felt well built and look to be of good quality.
Installation was as expected having to fix 4 cameras and route a lot of cabling around the house. There was more than enough cable to easily install the system.
Once the cameras where connected to the hard drive it was easy enough to get the system started using the TV in the bedroom. The picture is of good quality. My friend bought a cheaper system with a lower spec but agreed the picture quality on this system was definitely better than his.
I bought this system for my daughter and once the initial install was complete I left her with it to sort out the mobile phone set up using the app. She struggled a bit at first (this may have been down to her) but can now access the system on both her and her partners mobile phones. She can see what’s happening in real time and can also look back over what has been recorded on any of the cameras. The only thing she had to do was buy a TP Link (Cost 17) for internet access. This was only because the hard drive was upstairs and not close enough to the router to connect by ethernet cable.
Overall:
Although we have only just installed this system, our first impressions are that it is a very good quality system for the money. It has given my daughter and myself peace of mind as she has recently experienced a couple of security issues. I am so impressed I am considering ordering myself one of these systems in the very near future.

She can see what’s happening in real time and can also look back over what has been recorded on any of the cameras. The only thing she had to do was buy a TP Link (Cost 17) for internet access. This was only because the hard drive was upstairs and not close enough to the router to connect by ethernet cable.
Overall:
Although we have only just installed this system, our first impressions are that it is a very good quality system for the money. It has given my daughter and myself peace of mind as she has recently experienced a couple of security issues. I am so impressed I am considering ordering myself one of these systems in the very near future.
Basic kit but brilliant for the price.
I don’t usually write reviews but I will for this.
I had an issue with one of the dome cameras when it was sent out, it was dead on arrival. I tried to contact amazon support, they told me to purchase a new one on their site and I would be refunded. Big mistake, they only offered me a 10 gift voucher afterwards as the item was ‘3rd party’.
I then contacted the seller direct, they replied within an hour, a brand new dome camera arrived within 48 hours, no charge, and I didn’t have to return the dead one to them. So top marks for customer service (from the seller, not amazon).
I have been testing the unit for a few days now, the DVR is silent and compact. Software is generic and so identical to most other cctv units. Dome cameras are compact, solidly built and metal – they appear watertight but too soon to tell. Cabling is plentiful and appears of good quality.
Picture quality is 1080p, I can make out car license plates at 15 metres, you have to play about with the frame rate to really get the best video though.Night-vision is actually very good at close range, but more than 15 metres detail suffers (but thats with all IR cctv cameras too).
I bought this after my car had a break in, and the quality is certainly more than what I would need for this sort of purpose. I’d recommend this set up for internal or close range outdoor viewing if you really need detail.
All in all a bargain for the price. I spent about a month shopping around and researching before purchasing, and sansco really do seem to be at the top end of the budget range. 1080p is more than adequate for domestic use.
Good system - faulty camera!
Having read reviews I went for this product. Came next day and I spent all day setting up. So far so good on 3 out of the 4 cameras! Unfortunately the last camera I set up seems to have developed a fault. Started clear and okay, then started fuzzing and cutting out. Now it’s hardly viewable! Quite disappointing….
Good sta
Put up 2 weeks ago, so far, so good, very clear picture, Very easy set up, also set up on app on phone. Reasonable price.
Great customer service from Sansco
Good value for a 4-camera CCTV system. Extremely easy to install. Superb customer service from Sansco also; 1 x camera within my system was faulty. Amazon would only replace the entire system (which was already installed) where as when I contacted Sansco direct they were more than happy to send out a replacement camera without me having to do a thing. Would recommend
Great CCTV system - Even better price!
This system is brilliant, easy to set up, great cameras, great picture quality and a DVR that is easy to use and comes with a 1TB hard drive. It is also easily monitored over the internet with an app for your phone or using the CMS software that you can install on your PC.
Customer service is also very good i e-mailed Sansco about a bit of difficulty that i was having and i had a reply within 30 mins and my problem was solved.
This really is money well spent! Very happy with purchase.
Excellent Value For Money
Very easy to install, the cables are all marked which is a help. Pretty much plug and play but the menu offers basic setting adjustments which i have yet to get into. The alarm function appears to be really sensitive (again – only tried it for one night – but there were a few alarms rasied). Camera quality is excellent as is the daytime picture, Nightime seems a wee bit grainy but I am not sure if this is my settings….will try tweaking them over the next few nights. App function works no problem and I found it very handy when aligning the cameras. All in all an excellent system for the money.

Top rate CCTV system that easy to set up
This system is very easy to set up, with plug n play cameras. The system has lots of function and can email and text alerts from motion detection. Plenty of youtube videos to help, and the customer service via Isansco FB pages very responsive.
If you only need a small system (4x cameras) you will not be disappointed
Fantastic system. For the price I wasn’t expecting much, but how wrong could I have been? Excellent value, excellent quality and very straight forward to fit. I have it connected to a very old monitor via VGA, the picture quality is excellent, cant wait to see what it’s like on a modern hdmi one. I have only just looked into the features of this system and it keeps impressing me.
Good cameras
Nice cameras neat and smart few technical issues to start with but the team are very helpful and dealt with my problems very happy now would recommend 2 anyone only issues ive been having is water getting in when there supposed to be waterproof ive had more cameras delivered to replace them ive now had to buy cctv covers which im not happy abou
Still under evaluatio
Picture quality during the day perfect for what i require
Night vision not so good, blurred but i suspect this is my fault – guess i will find out when i finally mount the camara later this week.
Motion detection not tested yet, mainly due to the lack of a user manual need to investigate online
for the price i would say it’s about what i would expect, value for money YES
Great Price for what you get!!!
It’s a pretty good system, good quality and good cabling. Software kind of old and complicated. Also the app is quite laggy on IOS, but works good!
For this price, it’s a perfect system! I definitely recommend it!
Great product at a good price
Bought this product as external home security. It offered a good balance between price and features. I was influenced by the reviews which were very positive so I purchased it with eager anticipation.
Product arrived the next day as promised and was very securely packaged. The quick start guide enclosed in the box was simple and easy to read and understand. I had no trouble connecting up the four cameras within the house prior to installation so that I could adjust the settings.
The one downside that I have discovered is that there is not a manual with the product and you are expected to download the online version. This is not an issue but I would have found it more useful to have the manual next to me while setting up the cameras and base unit. I have set up the recording facility and I can view it on my mobile device but have not purchased a monitor yet so cannot set up the recording unit settings.
I live in a three bedroom terraced house and the cabling supplied was more than adequate to run from within the roof down to the ground floor and connect into the recording unit. I mounted a camera on the four corners of the house and after installation discovered that one of the cameras was showing a very blurry image despite being set on HD. I contacted the supplier directly (having bought the product off amazon) and they responded within 24 hours (even in lock down). I explained my problem and they were more that happy to replace my faulty camera. (awaiting delivery of camera at time of writing this review).
Their customer service has been excellent and their communication has been good throughout my dealings with them. I have been dealing with the same person to sort the issue out which has made the whole process easier.
Ok product for the price
Everything good apart from one camera stuck on infra red during the day and normal at night. This means it is useless at night time.
Product.
This is amazing product, its accessible via an app so you can always see whats going on and it’s its super easy to use, my sister also brought it. Also say after sales have been great in helping with issues with the picture settings.
Excellent value for money ki
Value for money wise this kit is fantastic. Great picture quality for general use and the App is brilliant to allow easy playback on your phone or iPad. If you need to read car reg though or make out really clear facial features you will need to spend more money however. For 9 out of 10 people this kit will please you, the other one person wants a Ferrari for the price of a Renaul
Excellent system
Excellent system as described set-up really easy system, took me day & 3/4 to run cables for the x4 camera’s where I wanted them to go & was on my own doing it by myself so pretty good.
Very pleased with system & support I required to complete the email set-up
Great CCTV package
Comparing this item to similar products of considerably more cost I have to say this package provides very good value for money. I’ve had these cameras for about a year and they work great. Picture quality is sound in HD and the night vision is decent at this price range. Footage is stored on the box for two weeks and the playback function is easy to navigate which is great for reviewing your CCTV. Would recommend this product.
Does a great job.
Really great system and if I ever got stuck with the set up, the help I got from them was excellent!
Great Customer Service
Bought this for round my house . Great system for the money , Good clear pics , decent night vision and good motion detection .Seems a better picture on a Phone or Tablet .Delivered in good time ,set it up first off all ok , tried to copy some files to a usb stick but DVR wouldnt recognise the usb. Contacted Customer Services who were brilliant . Just asked me to format the USB and follow a small video to show how to copy files . Did this no joy . Back to Customer Services ,Straight away apologised for the inconvenience , return the DVR only ,for Exchange . Sent the DVR back ,new one arrived next day ,must have posted as soon as they read my email. New DVR fine all up and running . I cannot fault service like that ,no arguments ,no try this, try that . Straight swap and no hassle . All this was done by email and replies were very fast. When you buy something you dont want problems ,but sometimes they happen , thats when you want it sorted quickly ,this company did that . Other companies can learn from these people . Would just like to mention the lady who dealt with my problem was Eileen , she was very helpful and very professional.
Would highly recommend this company to friends and family who are looking for a good CCTV system at a very good price .
I don’t often write reviews but I do believe this deserves one. I’m a very techy person and I got this CCTV as I’ve always wanted a system for a while now but haven’t got round to it. I chose this one as it came as a complete set with the hard drive, I also preferred the dome style cameras.
The cameras:
-I was incredibly surprised by the build quality of the cameras. I wasn’t expecting such good quality for the price But the cameras are solid metal and heavy
– The image quality was again above expectations for this price. I could easily pick up number plates at the end of my property
– The camera unscrews from the mount, which allows you to screw the mount in place, then add the camera. This prevents someone from unscrewing them.
– The camera also swivels in all directions which was easy to do. Once it is in the right position you just screw it tight and it wont move anywhere!
– It comes with three screws and also raw plugs if you want the camera mounted to a wall.
– The camera has approximately 50cm of cable before the plug, This helped me massively as I installed my camera in the plastic overhang of my house. So the 50cm of cable sat inside the overhang of the house which was waterproof ,then from there i connected the main cable to the DVR.
The DVR:
– Firstly the interface is advanced but simple
– It works just like a computer, it has a mouse and an interactive interface. Theres an option for almost everything
– I set my cameras to record all the time, but also to record motion. I liked the idea of this as if the motion didn;t pick something up I could still watch the footage bacm. The playback bar also shows where motion was detected, this is marked in red (as seen in the photos) so you know exactly what time motion was detected
– I liked how you can set motion zones so you can exclude certain areas where the camera wont trigger from.
– There is also an option where if motion is detected on one camera, you can set other cameras to start recording too
– There is an option to notify you by phone if there is motion and also if the camera feed stops or is covered by something like spray paint
– Without writing everything you can do, theres enough features to do pretty much whatever you want
Other good points
– It comes with a remote control to control the DVR, also comes with batteries
– DVR is small which is good to hide in your house somewhere
– I contacted support and they replied quickly
– Came packed really well!
A minor negative:
Only three screws came with each camera but there was four holes. However, I juts used the three screws at that seemed plenty enough
In conclusion:
I’d definitely recommend this as a CCTV systems. The quality for the price is brilliant and does everything I needed it to do
Great system.well with the money.you will not be dissapointed
Very quick delivery,quality equipment for a very reasonable price. The picture quality is very good. easy to set up and very pleased .would highly recommend.
well done sansco
Absolute steal. You get loads for your money.
After installing and setting everything up, I was amazed with the picture quality and how straight forward the user interface was. Detailed settings and schedules are brilliant and play back is a breeze. Love it.
So far so good.
Have only started setting up so cannot comment on how long lasting these cameras are but from trying the, out they seem to be working well and for the price I paid good value for money.
I will update the review once these have been running accordingly as at the moment I can only give 4 stars as I don’t know how well they will last over time and in varying conditions.
Perfect cameras, great service team
Beautiful, sleek and inconspicuous cameras. Slight set-up issue which was very quickly resolved by the exceptionally professional service team. The cameras were easy to install and showed a perfectly clear picture. I would highly recommended this product and company A+++
Entry level product with great customer service 👍
This system worked fine when I first purchased it and tested it upon arrival. However, due to personal circumstances I was unable to properly install the cameras until some time later. When I did, the system no longer recorded any footage and didn’t recognise that it has a hard drive.
I made contact with the company and they arranged a replacement, even though the product is out of warranty by over a year.
Sansco have been great and it would seem that the problem was a faulty adapter.
System works fine now, which is a relief because the cameras were hard work to install and didn’t fancy taking them down.
A Heavyweight Feature-Packed 1080P CCTV System for a Lightweight Price
I purchased this system in November last year and decided to wait a few months before posting a review. Anyway, This feature-packed system is now set up on both our phones (Android and iPhone), iPad, laptop and PC. This in addition to the standard interface already built into the DVR. Whilst the night vision appears perfectly competent for capturing adequate detail for its intended purpose, we’ve also used the movement alarm feature to watch local foxes without the hassle of sitting, staring at hours of no action waiting for one to appear – obviously, the same applies to any that moves – a red trace on the recorded timeline indicating movement. Sure, there are higher resolution systems out there, but they are significantly more expensive. After 4 months, my 170 Sansco (it was 170 last November) has caught the local dogwalker who doesn’t (or didn’t) clear up after his dog and a youth who thought it would be clever to climb over the top of my neighbour’s car!!!! This in addition to our local fox family! A very recent minor issue with the DVR was rectified with a full, no quibble, replacement in two days flat. What’s not to like? Great 5-Star value and full of useful features.
faulty camera
was very pleased with this set but now one of my cameras has already gone wrong.very bright colours.have disconnected/unplugged/restarted.still the same.
IMPORTANT ****please read ****
Sansco Kindly offered to replace or refund affected components of the system, therefore cannot complain – Thank you
Excellent cctv system
Bought to replace an old system.
Vastly improved quality on any system I’ve seen.
Don’t be tempted to use your old cabling if this is a replacement as the new cabling is great quality.
Great picture quality day and night.
Easy to set up.
The app is very good and fully functional and easy to use.
Very pleased with the system and will buy again when my other units fail.

Excellent product and great value for money
I purchased this 4-camera system to improve my home security by covering the front, rear and sides of my property. I have never installed a CCTV system before and I was very pleased at how easy the whole process was. I purchased Sansco’s 4-camera CCTV system with dome cameras based on reviews I had read and I have not been disappointed with my purchase, which I think is great value for money, and it is a really sophisticated piece of kit with lots of features.
I intentionally avoided purchasing a wireless based system as I wanted a solution that would not be susceptible to signal reception issues. The 4 CCTV video/power cables provided with the kit were plenty long enough to cover a large 4-bedroom detached property with cameras covering all external sides of the property. I ran the cables up through the eaves and across the loft and into an upstairs cupboard where I have the DVR located.
The dome cameras do require a bit of patience to position them but you have an almost unlimited possibilities of angles to choose from. When doing high-ladder work, it does help if you have already setup the DVR recorder, connected it to the Internet, and installed the XMEye phone app on your phone (I was using the Android version on a Samsung S8 phone) as you can tinker with the camera position before tightening up the fixings.
I mounted each camera on a Diall Grey 57A Junction box 100mm which I purchased from B&Q. The beauty of doing this is that I could hide the short cable that comes out from the back of the camera, which has a BNC connector and round power connector at the end of that cable which needs to be connected to the long cable that you need to run back to the DVR. I drilled a hole through the cover of the Diall junction box, poked the camera cable through it, and then mounted the dome base to the cover. Doing it like this simplified the mounting process for the camera and should I need to replace a camera in the future, it makes it very simple to remove the camera.
Setting up the DVR was very simple. I do work in IT and as such, I did not need to read the manual to configure and install the system. The interface is pretty intuitive and I really like that you can download a desktop client software (CMS) to your computer and configure and manage the DVR from there if you don’t want to do it directly from the DVR. I didn’t know CMS was available so I fully configured the system directly on the DVR but I have subsequently tinkered with my settings using the CMS software.
A few of the best features of the DVR are:
1. You can add up to 4 black rectangles (any size) per camera if you need to blackout or redact areas that you do not want to capture on camera (e.g. if you are camera is picking up your neighbours garden).
2. NTP – you can configure a public network time server so that your recordings will always have an accurate time stamp which is really important if you do need to refer back to the cameras
3. You can add a label and time stamp on each camera and you have the flexibility to position this to any location that you wish per camera, which is extremely flexible
4. XMEye phone app is really good and gives me a lot of comfort that I can take a quick peek if we are out for the day or away for the weekend that all is well at home
5. CMS application is also extremely useful as you can use that to playback footage, download video, and fully configure the system. This means that you don’t need a separate LCD monitor or worry about locating the DVR in a location where you can easily get to it. You do need to do the initial configuration on the DVR but once it is connected to your home network, you don’t really need to touch the DVR. Please note that the DVR doesn’t support wireless and does need to be connected via an ethernet cable. This wasn’t an issue for me.
6. Night vision is pretty damn good – our road is pretty dark at night and yet you still get a pretty decent picture in black & white. It still is never going to be as good as the footage you get during the day time when the picture is in full colour but nonetheless, for the money and size of the camera, it is pretty impressive!
7. I did need to reach out to Sansco support and found them to be excellent and responsive. Support was done via Facebook messenger via a link on their website and I got timely responses back.
Word of caution. The system does have motion detection but if you are placing the cameras externally, don’t have too higher expectation on the motion detection. Yes it works, but it will also provide a lot of false positives. You can alter the sensitivity but ultimately, this is using digital motion detection which is not the same as an IR detector like you get on a security garage light.
In summary, I can’t believe how good value for money this kit is considering you are getting a full home security kit. Hopefully, it will act as a good deterrent too and will mean I have a bit more peace of mind when my property is not occupied.
Clear picture
Really happy with this product. We purchased after a friend recommended it to us and I can say we’re pleased we did. Clear picture, different viewing modes and easy to use.
Great CCTV kit for the price and good quality
Excellent product for the price. Easy installation. Good quality pictures from the 4 HD camera’s and good quality night time pictures also due to the high number of infra reds. I noticed a problem with the DVR after a short while, I think it’s a noisy disk drive but the seller has been very kind and offered to exchange the DVR even though it’s past the returns window.
