SANSCO 5MP 8 Channel DVR Outdoor CCTV Camera System with 1TB Hard Drive, 4x 1080P Home Security Camera, Waterproof, Face Human Detection, USB Backup, Remote Access, Email & APP Alert, Metal Housing

I purchased this system as it was within my budget and I'm so glad as its been first class. There are others available but there's no logical reason to spend more money as this system is amazing for the price point (entry level price but amazing quality).I opted for the 4 camera system. Installation of the system is very straight forward. Firstly mount the cameras then route cables, then follow instructions to plug in and initialise. I'd say only a little DIY knowledge is required for routing the cables.I have it set on my phone so I can veiw any camera, playback previous recordings, alter settings or watch live. The daytime image quality is excellent and the night ones are as good as a system of 3x the price.It's already paid for itself as recently I had a dishonest delivery driver (not amazon) and was able to forward images to confirm my point and the item was delivered again! I have one camera on the rear of my house set so I get a notification if movement is detected.I needed customer service (due to an oversight on my part) and the problem was sorted out immediately and you can't get better than that!If I sound like I am recommending this product then it's because I am! I've actually helped 2 family members set up identical Sansco systems purchased from Amazon and they're delighted with them.I like the fact you can obviously see/record images past and live, easy to send these files but also the cameras act as a deterrent as they're obviously visible during the day and when dark you can see the ring of infrared LEDS.I don't write reviews but I'd recommend if you need a cctv system then you won't go wrong with this, just buy it and have that added level of security to your property.

Absolutely thrilled with my Sansco CCTV system! Installation was a breeze, thanks to the user-friendly instructions. The picture quality is crystal clear, even in low light, providing me with peace of mind knowing my property is under reliable surveillance. The mobile app is a game-changer, allowing me to monitor my home from anywhere. Plus, the customer support team was incredibly helpful and responsive. Not only does it offer unbeatable value for the price, but its durability and reliability have exceeded my expectations. The sleek design of the cameras blends seamlessly into my property, offering a discreet yet powerful security solution. Whether it's deterring potential intruders or keeping an eye on my loved ones, this system has truly enhanced the safety of my home. Trust me, you won't regret investing in the Sansco CCTV system! Highly recommend this top-notch system for anyone looking to upgrade their security setup!

For the price...superb! Easy to install and set-up. Plenty of cable for each camera means you can place them some distance from the recorder unit (mine is in my loft with a HDMI feed to a TV in the room below.....essential to deter any would be burglar from stealing the very item that could help to identify them....they aren't going to spend time climbing into your loft!). The only point to watch is that the length of cable between the rear of the cameras and the first connection to the main long cable (power and video feed) is not that long (6 to 8 inches approx.) so you just need to plan a bit to ensure that this connection is not exposed to the elements (long enough to pass through a brick wall though, but plan ahead for this - I fastened my cameras to my soffit boards, and drilled through the soffit to allow the cables to pass through - largish diameter drill bit will be required if you are going through a brick/concrete wall, say inch and a quarter to inch and a half). The images are very clear, and the night vision/infra-red is perfectly adequate - my rear garden is around 60ft long, and the infra-red illumination reaches way back with picture quality remaining good. If you do run a feed to a remote TV for viewing, then don't forget that you will need a monitor of some sort next to the DVR so you can operate the unit and make changes to settings etc. (a mouse comes with the unit to assist with set-up and changes). The DVR allows you to review each channel back over a number of days, with each channel able to fast forward independently, with footage download to USB if required. The recommended mobile phone app also worked well and connected easily first time allowing me to view the CCTV images on my phone - if you want to do this then you will need to connect the DVR to a Wi-Fi router - you can also view the images over the internet, say whilst on holiday....but that's another story! However, the unit works perfectly well without this 'extra' facility and it really is not necessary at all unless you are a tech-freak who likes to be 'totally connected'! All-in-all, I think this unit is great value and perfectly adequate for most domestic situations - easy to set up and good quality images allow you to keep an eye around your property....all it needs is a loud-speaker to tell those unwanted callers at the front door to go on their way!!
