SANSCO8CH 5MP DVR HD CCTV Camera System + 3TB Hard Drive for 24/7 Recording, 8pcs 2MP Outdoor Bullet Security Cameras (Night Vision, Face/Human Detection, Waterproof, H.265, Email/APP Alert)

I am extremely pleased with the SANSCO 8 Channel 5MP CCTV DVR Camera System. The product not only meets but exceeds my expectations in several ways.First and foremost, the camera quality is outstanding. The (8) 2MP Bullet Dome Cameras provide clear and crisp images, ensuring that every detail is captured. Whether it's day or night, the camera's performance remains top-notch, thanks to its excellent low-light capabilities. I feel much more secure knowing I have such high-quality surveillance.The 3TB Hard Drive is a significant bonus. It offers ample storage space for continuous 24/7 recording. I don't have to worry about running out of space or constantly deleting footage to make room for new recordings. This feature provides peace of mind, especially when I'm away from home for extended periods.The installation process was straightforward, and the included instructions were clear and easy to follow. The cameras are designed for wall or ceiling mounting and are IP66 vandalproof, which adds an extra layer of security to protect them from tampering or harsh weather conditions.One of the standout features for me is the mobile viewing capability. Being able to check the live feed and recorded footage remotely on my mobile device is incredibly convenient. Additionally, the motion-activated push alerts and email notifications ensure that I'm immediately aware of any suspicious activity around my property.Finally, I must commend the company's customer support. They've been responsive and helpful whenever I've had questions or needed assistance, which has made my experience even more positive. Their email is [email protected] if anyone should need it.In summary, the SANSCO 8 Channel 5MP CCTV DVR Camera System with (8) 2MP Bullet Dome Cameras and a 3TB Hard Drive is an exceptional product. It offers high-quality surveillance, ample storage, ease of use, and excellent customer support. I couldn't be happier with my purchase, and I highly recommend it to anyone in need of a reliable and robust security system.

Only just installed as decorating. Crisp and clear picture. Easy to follow instructions. Would highly recommend. I contacted the help email and they replied sooner than scheduled. Very helpful and understanding. Turned out, my error, not the product.

In April 2019 I ordered a Sansco 8 channel cctv system with 8 cameras with a 2 TB Hard drive. As advertised it arrived with a couple of days, well packed and complete with connecting leads already fitted with connectors. I had also ordered some additional cable reels as some of my camera runs were going to be a bit long, they needed routing around the outside of my house to the point where they came into the room where the recorder was to be located.Some of the cable runs did take some time to install but were easily connected and the system was soon up and running. Some of the setup instruction need study but the instructions are very easy to understandand well within the ability of somebody with little or no cabling experience.The system has performed very well with images available on my ipad as well as a dedicated monitor. Any questions I have asked the company have been answered with out fail and very quickly, I need help with one particular setup feature and I recently asked if they had a module that would allow the connection of a radio linked camera, they don't, but the thing is the reply came back overnight.I have full confidence in Sansco and will continue to use their products which are well made and pretty good for prices.

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.

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 wiresFeatures 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 loadI 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.Also they have just sent me a replacement power cord after 5 years of use FOC - Customer service is amazing. 5th Feb 2023
