ANNKE 4K PoE security camera system customer review

Great Systems!

I initially researched security camera systems and finally arrived at Annke. Amazon offered an 8 channel NVR system (the one I’m reviewing), but I wanted a 16 channel system for future expansion. Therefore, I bought the system directly from the Annke store with 16 channels and 8 cameras. I also bought to extra 4K cameras bringing my system up to a total of ten cameras. Whether it’s 8 or 16 channels, the HD800 system was easy to install. I’ve had no issues. I fail to understand the problems that several purchasers have had with the system.

I just followed the directions, and everything worked. The 4K camera clarity is fantastic. Also, the cameras pivot a full 90+ degrees if you desire. In addition, the system software is easy to use if you spend some time and get to know it. Amazon offers great Annke models, but make sure your POE system comes with a hard drive. I had to pay extra for one, and I chose a 4T hard drive for my system. Still, the price was right. I have no complaints. I highly recommend the HD800 security camera system whether it’s 8 or 16 channels. I also recommend the 4K cameras because of their clarity and long visual reach. Just follow the directions when you install the system, and you shouldn’t have any issues if you have a little techno knowledge.
