ANNKE 16-Channel HD-TVI 1080N Security Video DVR, H.264+ video Compression for Bandwidth Efficiency, HDMI and VGA Outputs both Support Up to 1080P, NO HDD

Very Nice product Works Great !!!

Made a mistake and purchased a SANNCE unit first. The SANNCE worked as a DVR, but I had trouble with connecting it to my phone, which is just as important to me as the DVR recording. The Zosi also had network difficulties. Not only does this Annke device work with my existing cameras it easily connected to the mobile app. Additionally the software seems better overall. The user experience with their software is much better, the camera images actually appear more clearly and crisp than any of the other lower end Amazon DVRs I have tried. I guess the main lesson I learned is don't simply look at Amazon reviews. Dig one step deeper and look at the reviews of the mobile apps on the Google Play Store or Apple's App Store. If the mobile functionality is important to you, the mobile software is just as important as the firmware on the actual DVR.

Great DVR for a great price. Easy connections and compact size

Easy set up. Works great on phone.

Bought this as a birthday present for my stepdad because he gave up on trying so many different DVRs or camera recording devices. Most never recorded or converted videos correctly, or their settings could not be changed. This one is by far the most stable and feature-rich. Even their apps are amazing despite their bad reviews on google app store. I would suggest buying a multi-terabyte HDD for this though. If set to HD recording for motion detection only on at least 10 cameras, a 1 TB HDD will fill up in about a month. Unfortunately, it has no way to automatically delete old videos or overwrite them. You literally will have to manually reformat the HDD again. Another thing you might run into is camera thumbnails dissappearing randomly. Seems like a bug. It can be fixed in General settings section though. Recording quality can be set higher than 1080p, but if your camera is of a different brand it will look a bit like SD quality. The company recommends buying their brand of cameras for that reason.
