SANSCO 8CH 1080P HD CCTV Camera System, 8 Channel H.265 DVR Recorder, 8pcs 2MP Outdoor Bullet Dome Security Cameras (Improved Night Vision, Face/Human Detection, IP66 Vandalproof, Email/APP Alert)
Vandalism – Bullet Cameras
Don’t be afraid to install your bullet camera outdoors. They are IP66-rated to ensure protection against all types of bad weather. These all season security cameras feature a cable pass-through design that keeps power and video cabling concealed, which helps to prevent tampering. The durable yet lightweight Polycarbonate housing also makes this camera virtually immune to vandalism.

Real-time, highly reliable HD video without loss or delay. Easy to configure, access, and control. Scan QR Code on the DVR from the “XMeye” app (available on iOS and Android) to instantly access live viewing and receive push notifications in real time. Connect to and manage all the cameras on your network for ultimate ease and convenience in a home security system.
Smart Motion Detection
Motion detection function enables your camera system to taking records only when unusual activity detected to save HDD space. You could use this system in a smarter way by customizing motion detection as you need, i.e. set motion detection sensitivity, a perimeter zone, specify which areas of the camera’s motion grid are active and even set a 24×7 schedule for it. (Hard Drive Required)
Fast Video Backup
If you install a hard drive into the DVR box, you can record everything important, not only that, if you plug in a USB memory stick, or an external hard drive with a USB connection, you can organize and sort your snapshots and recordings however you like. You can then forward those as evidence or proof easily.

I’m satisfied with the pictures and movements of my CC TV day and night that I bought from you
We installed this CCTV system in our Showroom and Trade Counter, it was very easy to set up and the picture quality is excellent. We had a minor problem so contacted Sansco Customer Services they were very efficient and helpful, Great product and Service.

Had this about 3 years or so. A really good all round product for an average household to use. Picture quality is pretty good you won’t zoom in on a spot on someone’s nose but it is only 2mp camera. Playback is easy to navigate on both monitor and the app. The night vision is pretty good. You can still make out who people are when checking who’s at door etc.
I would say for me the app Xmeye can be slow and glitchy on iPhone but android it seems to run smoother on the play back. But generally the hardware has done its job for a few years and had no issues with setting up and adjusting settings within the system. For what you get it’s worth it. If you want 4K quality then I’d upgrade them if mine do fail. But it does it’s job good enough for me and a decent price.
The postures are great, the night vision is excellent I even at night with heavy rains. I’m very happy with the Sansco CCTV.
The quality of the product is excellent. Picture is as sharp as you could ask for. The motion detection is excellent and alert are very quick.
Such a simple camera system to set up and use. Common sense will get it done in no time. Picture quality is great and record mode is so easy to use. When like me you are a one man show it make watching the shop so much easier. 🙂 And if you ever need advice, help is only a text away.
I’ve been using this system for over a year, and I really think it is great value for money, easy to set up, and a really reliable piece of kit. And to add to that, Sansco customer support is truly excellent as I have contacted them a couple of times, and they are quick to respond and resolved my issues without any hassle. I am really pleased that I made this purchase, and would recommend highly to others.
Came really quick and is so easy to set up the picture quality is excellent well worth buying
CCTV Camera is perfectly in a very good condition though I have not mounted it for use ye
This system is very easy to fit and work with. The mobile app is really easy to use and it works really well. You can see what is on the hard already record on the phone and is really easy to use. Everything plug and play and is really good. The image quality is good during the night and is extremely good during the day. I will buy it again for my parents house.
Purchased in 2018 and after 3 years we have our first issue with the system, 2 cameras failed. After contacting the customer care team they have shipped us 2 brand new cameras even after all this time which is amazing service after so long. No messing about just fast service and very helpful. Quality of the system even to this day is excellent, software is easy to use and very responsive.
Picture quality is very good even at night. Does exactly what I expected. Have brought these for my business but also have some on my house.
quality CCTV system at a very good price. used in commercial setting to good effec
Update: Had this now for about 10 months and while on the whole it’s been ok, every time we are away from home it stops recording. In this respect it’s unreliable.
Bought this system when our American made one packed up so had to replace the cameras, wiring and DVR. The quick start guide is really helpful and I found it easy to set up. The picture quality is better than we had before and night vision is very good as per previous reviews. Only one camera has poor night vision but the infra red is bouncing off a brick wall, however playback is very clear. The app was easy to download and set up and pretty similar to the dog minding camera we have indoors. So far really pleased but it’s a big job so not all cameras are on as yet.

Offered replacement of faulty item not working. I appreciate that and look forward to receiving my new item. Thank you Huanjie for resolving this issue after more than one year. Great service
This is a good entry level product and good value for money. Need some effort to install properly but ok for a DIY’er with reasonable competence. Picture quality is very good during daylight but evening fluctuates depending on what artificial light you have in the area. You’ll need to clean off cobwebs from the lenses to maximise night time picture quality also! – The back office can be tricky to get to grips with but I recommend contacting the supplier for any questions. They respond very quickly and have gone over and above for me with supplying a replacement power adaptor, even after the one-year guarantee expired.

I had a good system before I got the new one
I got a monitor for the new system but it is not as
Good as the one I had i found out that the the drive was faulty and I will be sending it back
Easy to install. Night Vision as clear as day. Really impressed. Thanks
This Is SO Easy To Set Up, Amazing Quality & I Can Watch Playback Via My Mobile From Work, Set Alerts For Motion Detection In The Places Needed, I Am Very Impressed With This Set Up ;0) I Highly Recommend This System… Been Up A Few Months Now, No Problems SO Far x
The product is really easy to install and the set up is just as easy. Perfect for anyone who is not technically minded. The picture quality is first class and I love that you can view the cameras remotely using an app on your phone.
General installing is easy, just screw the cameras where you want them, route the cable, plug them into the DVR and you’re good to go. They sell extra cables if you need to run longer distances, which you probably will need to.
Packaging is proper and nice. The DVR is well protected with really good bubble wrap and each camera comes in a separate carton box with protection. All the power supplies and the mouse comes in a separate box. Really nice.
The cameras are 1080p quality and can be adjusted to 720p as required. Day vision is very clear, and night vision also works fairly well, you may fit some floodlights supplementing the IR LEDs on the camera to improve the performance, but as said, their night vision do fairely well. Their app (both Android and iOS) also works fine. I haven’t tested out their motion detection so I cant comment on that.
Features I like:
* You can remotely view all the cameras from another place other than your home
* You can view up to 8 cameras on one screen
* You can play back multiple recordings at once
* You can view them on your mobile devices, PC and laptop, anywhere as long as you have internet access
* Image quality is very good, both day and night vision, although you can’t zoom in too much because it will become a little bit blurry
* Easy to install and setup, almost fit and forget system, plug and play.
* Cameras aren’t ugly, metal bodies, very sturdy and heavy wires
Features I don’t like:
– Still haven’t tried the motion detection but looking back on some reviews, others do mention it is way too sensitive, I need it to continuously record so I leave it on 24/7 recording so motion detection not really a big issue for me
– remote playback on mobile phone sometimes take too long to load
I will probably update back once I discover more things I don’t like but for now everything is quite good, I did have a little problem getting the system up and running but with the help of Sansco we got the problem fixed and everything is fine. I’m 100% satisfied with this product. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a super reliable security camera system.
Excellent product and absolute value for money. Delivery was quick. Had a minor issue with a camera in night vision and Sansco customer services very promptly responded and agreed to replace the camera. Links very well to a mobile app XMEye which also works very well. Would highly recommend.
Bought this system after studying similar CCTV systems.
The 2TB disc allows recording for about two weeks with 8 cameras. To save space on cameras installed in “quiet places,” I activated the “motion detector” mode. This saves disk space, cameras record only when an object hits a frame.
Cable laying technology can be understood with my photos. In some places I managed to hide the cable inside the wall, in other places the cable is reliably closed from external influences.
The chambers have a waterproof metal housing. It ‘s not a bad defense against vandalism. The system has several modes of warning: motion detector, camera shutdown, camera closure by any object… In these cases, the system will alert you with an audio signal or a message. (message – if you connected the system to the Internet.) To avoid data loss, you can duplicate online recording to a server that is convenient to you. In this case, no one can steal your records.
The system is easy to install and use. Not a bad quality for cameras of this category. Easily transfer data to USB storage. They work perfectly in night mode. If there are “dark places” on your territory, (a very large garden) they can be further illuminated with an IR spotlight, which will have to be purchased separately. The price of such a spotlight is about 20.
A 5 days after the system was installed, one of 8 cameras stopped transmitting the image. The seller sent a replacement very quickly and my CCTV system is perfectly fine again.
I recommend the seller, I recommend the system. Answers to any questions can be found on Youtube. Or ask the seller.

Bought 12 months ago and was unable to fit until now. One of the plastic clips was missing and had a problem viewing all cameras on tv after a few seconds just kept going to black screen. e mailed and explained my situation and they replied within 24 hrs. Over the next couple of days dortex my problems and sent new camera fixing. ThIS waS BRILLIANT CUSTOMER SERVICE.
Asked questions about a remote control that I had with camera system as I could not get it to work. HavE emailed a few times about this and have had no contact for last 3 weeks . So this hass NOT BEEN BRILLIANT ! Cannot get anyone to reply to my emails.
It is a shame as initial replies and help were fantastic
This is my first CCTV system and it is proving to be a great buy! I have been using this now for over 6 months and it has been very reliable with almost no hardware issues. The software for iOS, android and pc all work and I can monitor the system from them over the internet, although they can be slow to refresh when internet is busy. The wired monitoring is fantastic always works and is so clear! I have had 1 hardware problem which the seller has dealt with immediately without any hassle. Whenever, I have contacted the seller they have always got back to me very quickly with helpful advice or the information I needed.
The system works through cold, rain, wind and sunshine both day and night. The HD during the day is superb and the night vision is also very clear.
Overall, this is a great system, it keeps working 24/7 and most features are easy to access. The seller is accessible and responds to messages with great customer service.

Order to delivery within 3 days.
Initial installation fairly easy with some thought required for wiring runs in advance. Best to check cameras work before actually setting them up fully with “Deck top Setup”.
Cloud based interface very easy to setup using XMEye software supplied.
System can be setup to interface with home computer as well which requires a little knowledge of network setting requirements but help is on hand if needed. Thanks for support from Sansco on this.
Had a problem with 1 of the Bullet cameras after 2 weeks with water penetration getting into lense area and now waiting for a replacement to be sent following a couple of emails to Sansco support team. I was not very happy to have suggestion from Amazon to deinstallation and return whole system as they do not carry any individual Camara stock !

Really good piece of kit, zoom in pic quality is basic but it is very good value and serves the purpose for cctv in my shop
Had this been a straightforward “self-contained” installation, it would have had 5-stars. As it was I needed to link to a PC, have access via the Internet, AND change the default settings for individual cameras and playback…and that’s when the complexity came in! The software interface is very “clunky” and slow and has its own interface. I am never a great “manual reader”, which is just as well, as the manual was virtually unreadable!
I have had to make one return visit to the shop, as it was not immediately apparent how to review footage form all 8 cameras in “playback”. When I did default it to these settings, it was so slow and “jittery” that I changed it back to only seeing 4 cameras by default. I also couldn’t get it to work on the PC, and gave up trying…that will be for another day!

Giving this 4 stars as it has its flaws, but is good value for money. I’ll outline the reasons below:
Occasionally the system will reboot itself and be offline for 50 seconds. It’s not the scheduled reboot and usually happens when I’m using remote playback from the PC app, so is likely a crash. The system does sound the alarm upon reboot to say there was a problem though, so that’s good. The apps also have terrible spelling and grammar and are poorly translated. Don’t bother with their suggested phone app, use vMEyeSuper or similar.
With all the above said, the bullet style camera picture quality is sufficient to pick out a car registration at 20 meters distance during the day, and 10 meters with night vision. The dome cameras have a noticeably lower quality picture, probably from the wider angle/fisheye lens so the domed ones are definitely better suited for indoor or above door installations.
Setting up the device will require patience and some technical knowledge, especially for remote access and email notifications. Setting up the alarms and motion sensing areas is relatively straight forward, though some menus aren’t intuitive and it took me a good few weeks of occasional digging to find where the video blind/blanking section is.
You can schedule times for when the alarm sounds, so it doesn’t wake you at night, however this schedule is for ALL settings, for alarm sound, logging, emailing. Now this might be me missing a setting somewhere, but I cannot tell it to stop sounding the alarm during night hours, but still make logs and emails, it will simply turn all of it off if outside the schedule.
On the subject of motion sensing, it seems way too sensitive during the night. I will get maybe one or two false alarms during the day, but at night the flies love the night vision infrared LEDs and will buzz around and trigger the alarm every few seconds. I wish I could schedule alarm sensitivity to be a little less sensitive at night.
On the infrared LEDs, they do glow a faint dark red at night, making the cameras visible to those that would pay attention. There are arguments for and against this though, Pro: it shows it’s not fake, Con: it reveals where they are and could make them a target for vandalism or a planned route of attack.
Hard drive space: We chose the 2TB drive because we plan to have all 8 cameras record. At the moment though we only have 5 cameras and are getting just a little less than 2 weeks of video history, so I can’t recommend anything less than 2TB space for more than 4 cameras if you want sufficient backdated video storage.
Cable quality is poor and they are fragile. We managed to damage one just feeding it through a brick hole and up the cavity and it made the picture drop out.
Despite all the above flaws, the unit is good value for money for home use. I would not recommend it for commercial use due to its unreliability and low resolution. A professionally installed 4k system would be better suited for that.

A very easy system to setup and use, picture quality is excellent even from distance. Found no problem using playback even without reading the instructions.
A tip here, set your cameras that are monitoring close views to record on motion only, it saves a lot of unnecessary recording and you can get longer recordings on the hard drive.
Overall a well put together package and good response from the seller, would recommend this product.
I purchase this camera system after spending a lot of time researching it and due to problems with neighbours. Fairly straight forward to install and configure,very happy with it and the piece of mind it created. 2 cameras failed after 11 months, the seller couldn’t help enough and the problem was sorted without issue. Many thanks, can’t tell you how much this helps me sleep at night.
Simple to install and perform basic setup. Tricky to set up advanced features and have abandoned further efforts. However, system works very well, great picture, playback, and app (works on Android 9)
The product arrived in good condition, however its remote viewing app called Xmeye has been down for months, we continually get an error 100000 (systeminfo) when trying to connect. This means we have no way of remotely accessing the footage. Thousands of people have the same issue, do a quick search in Google and you will find some very annoyed people. It’s been going on for months.
# UPDATED # It seems the app updated it self which required the network the DVR was connected to be restarted. The DNS gateway then worked a planned.

After a number of burglaries in my area I needed to set up a CCTV system fast, all eight cameras were up and working in a day, fantastic picture and night vision from good quality cameras and easy set up guide.
Extremely easy to set up on mobile phone , only downside is the rather bulky connector at short distance from camera – need to drill a very large hole to get it through for outside installation.
Bought this package after reading the reviews on Amazon and watching lots of usage videos on YouTube. Whilst this isn’t up there with the top end models, it does a very good job.
Picture quality during the day is clear. Bit of noise in the picture during the night, but otherwise OK. Zooming in, the picture is still quite clear.
Had a couple of faulty BNC cables which I’ve contacted the seller about, who have agreed to replace FoC.
Can view footage via the CCTV console and also remotely via phone app, XMEye. Remote access setup was easy, managed to complete in a few minutes.
However, there are 2 things I’m not so sure about when viewing the footage via the CCTV console. You can view a single timeline in the console or for every single camera.
1) you can’t move the timeline in sync across all camera timelines – each one is controlled separately
2) when in single timeline mode for multiple cameras, some of the events do not show up unless viewed for camera in question
Instructions are very simple for getting the system started – not comprehensive though. I didn’t try the mini CD, managed to break it putting the CCTV back into the box after inspection.
On the whole a decent piece of kit in terms of what you’re getting.
I operate a fuel station, after we’d had a lovely gentleman drive off without paying for his fuel and realising our old CCTV system had died I looked for CCTV systems on Amazon. This one had good reviews and the pictures some customers had taken looked great.
The picture quality is spot on for what I need, I did order some additional cabling and had to use one of the spare cables I’d ordered as one of the standard ‘in the box’ cables gave a poor blurry picture.
I’ve not finished adding all the cameras yet and setting up the app was easy. Considering buying another system for my house.

Very easy to setup.
picture quality is good.
The app takes a while to connect but does the job.
I hate that you do not have option to arrange the display in 1 large and 7 small layout.
All in all its a good system for cheap price
I have only tested the cameras so far to check they work. They are not yet installed in their final location. I was happy with the picture quality so far. Everything came well packaged and presented. Everything looks well made and the seller has been very attentive to my questions thus far.
Camera’s were installed by a handyman so can’t comment on actual installation but the setup on screen was easy and intuitive to follow. I had some queries on app set up which Sansco online was quick and helpful to answer. Picture quality is great, easily read car registrations etc. Be careful not to set cameras up looking too closely at walls as the infra red will simply reflect off it and you won’t get a good picture at night. Can’t comment on durability as not had it installed long enough but hoping these will last. Yes, a wired system might be seen as old school but I wasn’t convinced on the mixed reviews of wireless systems, at least for now.
Received this in good order. 6 of the cameras are now operating. Waiting to fit other 2 after building work has been completed. Great quality pictures in each area. Had a malfunction on 2 of the 8 cables but the supplier replaced these without question. Arrived 2 days later. Had a friend install them because he is in the Audio Visual business, and he told me it is an excellent system for this kind of money. Should add that anyone without technical background could just as easily install. Didn’t know at time of ordering, but the system has a very clear zoom in facility. Would recommend to anyone considering a CCTV system. And the customer service should be commended on their no nonsense attitude when they replaced the cables. Well done!
Fantastic System and Great value, I bought this system to replace my old COP system. I am more than happy with it. I have fitted 6 of the 8 cameras and all is good. I would recommend anyone to buy this system not only for the reason of good quality pics and system layout and functions but for the after support you receive. I had a query with audio setup and received an email explaining everything I needed to know and also messenger support.
Purchased this as a replacement for an old CCTV system that I had in place. I upgraded as this system gave me additional cameras, HD and the ability to access the cameras remotely via my smartphone. Installation is very straightforward and I had the first camera up and running within the hour, and this included drilling holes through walls and running cables via conduit. The picture quality is outstanding. If you require more detailed documentation, you can just email the company and they will email you a pdf version. Any contact with this company is responded to very promptly.
2 of my cameras had a fault with the bracket. This can happen with any device but the test of a good company is how they respond and deal with your issue. After contacting them, they have immediately arranged for 2 replacements to be sent out, no issue.
Can’t recommend this product or this company enough.

Great value for money. The all-in cables are 22 metres long for each camera.
The picture is excellent.
The power travels along side the signal, so easy to connect through a UPS back beside the DVR (power supply has 9 outputs, 8 cams and 1 dvr)
The camera system is a brilliant one.Great DAY & NIGHT,really easy to set up and use.As for there aftercare service 5 STAR is not enough.There speedy reply to emails and dealing with any issues is absolutely FANTASTIC I say again FANTASTIC.So would HIGHLY recommend them for further purchases.I would just like to say a big thank you for all your help.

This is a fantastic CCTV system and well worth the price. The cameras are excellent and give great images both day and night.
I needed some technical help and the seller was fantastic offering immediate help and solving my problem in a very efficient and friendly way.
Highly recommended product. Highly recommended seller.
Update one month after purchase.
Having used the system for a month in all light conditions I have to say I am extremely happy with this CCTV system. It works seamlessly and without fault. It just sits recording quietly in the background should it ever be needed. The ability to view images remotely anywhere I can get a wifi or internet connection through my phones mobile data roaming are an added bonus. Can’t fault this product.
I bought this a few months ago and have only just gotten around to fitting everything and I found that 2 of the wires are faulty and do not work, not ideal really, but everything else seems to be working though.
The picture does look good on recordings however.
Since I posted this review the seller contacted me and gave me 20 refund for the cost of the replacement wires so I am changing my review to a 4* as this was decent and proactive on their part.
Bought this 8 Channel CCTV camera for our work. We firstly found the setup extremely easy and was a simply plug and play. We have managed to setup the apps on the phones. Again this was simple to do with the instructions. The cameras work extremely well and are better than the other systems that claim to be HD this one seems to be a true HD picture. We have run the camera up to around 50m with no image loss or quality. Would recommend!
Hi all. I purchased this 8 cam system in March 2016 but have just got around to install it in Dec. 2016. Pretty easy for a complete novice like me to install and set up. If you have any queries send an email to Jessie. He will work his socks off to help you. 5 stars in every way.
Product arrived very well packed and complete. Equipment appears good quality and complete. Set up was not difficult ..more problems with my router than the kit. Now all working, wifi and remote access. Camera images are good and very bright in the dark.
Overall very pleased with product and followup contact by supplier was unusual but appreciated.
We had a couple of issues when installing the system but quick responses to emails explaining what to do fixed those issues and the system works perfectly. I can recommend the KARE 8 system for quality of equipment supplied, ease of installation, quality of the on screen pictures and especially the service received.
As per most of the other reviewers I have had no issues so far. The mountings seem robust and the picture quality, both day and night are acceptable for a system on the lower end of the spec. The IR range seems to be a little further than they state, but then I may be benefiting from the ambient light from the several street lights near my property. Fitting a drive was a breeze, 5 screws on the box, two connectors and then four drive screws and then replace the cover. The set up was simple, the only issue was that the QR code points to a version of XMEye not compatible with the latest Android OS, so went to the Play Store, downloaded the latest version and it was plain sailing from that point.
The IR LED’s do glow in the dark, so from certain angles will be very obvious, but that said, part of the reason I got was deterrence. The functionality of the DVR system far exceeds that of the cameras supplied, so the system is up-gradable once you feel you need better cameras. The software supports PTZ (Pan Tilt Zoom) via the RS242 interface so that may well be my next step (to replace 1 bullet and 1 dome camera with PTZ cameras – leaving me with spares for the other 6 and an upgraded system). Point of note, cant see anyway of using it or controlling anything other than by wire. If you want wireless options then this is not the system for you. That said, a wired system is far more robust, given how cluttered 2.4 MHZ is any residential area (with the inherent risks of drop outs due to accidental or even deliberate interference).
All in all for the price I paid, I am very happy with my purchase.
21 May 17 – Still very happy with the system – paid for itself when we got a clear shot of someone damaging one of our cars – resultant video led to out of court settlement to replace rear screen on car – additionally as its registered local police will sometimes ask for video footage for crime detection – so if its good enough for them, its doing its job!

Overall the system does what it’s supposed to but I was unable to see the difference between the 900 tvl and a 450 tvl camera, I found the picture quality the same as I have now installed one of each.
Very happy with this, great in the day and at night, the infa red and night vision really works, believe me we tested it a lot! I feel much safer with it and is a great deterrent. A bit complicated to view the recordings but once you get the hang of it, it’s not to bad. Very good for the price and i would recommend this to anyone.
