ANNKE 16 Channel 1080P Lite 5-in-1 Security Digital Video Recorder, NO HDD

The ANNKE 16-Channel 1080P Lite Security Digital Video Recorder has been absolutely outstanding for our surveillance setup. We currently operate two of these units together in a 32-camera system, and the performance, reliability, and overall functionality have exceeded expectations in every way. The AI Human and Vehicle Detection features work exceptionally well and dramatically reduce false alerts compared to standard motion detection systems. This has made monitoring far more efficient and practical, especially in a larger multi-camera environment. The intelligent detection capabilities provide accurate event notifications while minimizing unnecessary recordings from weather, shadows, or minor movement. The DVRs have proven to be extremely stable and dependable under continuous 24/7 operation. Video playback is smooth, recording quality is excellent, and remote viewing functions perform reliably across multiple devices. The interface is user-friendly while still offering the advanced configuration options needed for professional-grade surveillance systems. One of the biggest strengths is scalability. Running two units together for a full 32-camera deployment has been seamless, making these DVRs an excellent solution for larger residential, commercial, newsroom, or property security applications. The system handles multiple camera feeds efficiently without lag or stability issues. The build quality is solid, installation was straightforward, and compatibility with cameras and network integration worked exactly as expected. For the price point, the performance and feature set are truly impressive. We highly recommend the ANNKE 16-Channel DVR to anyone needing a reliable, expandable, and professional surveillance recording solution. Excellent AI functionality, dependable operation, and outstanding value overall.

I purchased this to replace an aging Amcrest DVR. The setup was easy. The software was simple to use. The app is great! My Amcrest DVR was losing connection with cameras despite being a hardwired BNC system. Then it failed all together. This DVR had me back up and running in less than 1 hour. A fantastic value.

This is a great little and inexpensive recorder that packs a lot of features, to include compatibility with several types of security cameras - even up to three network (IP) cams. Configuration was fairly easy with a well-written instruction manual - very rare these days. Image and video quality is excellent. Annke mobile app software also user friendly. This DVR was a replacement for a much older unit that finally gave out on me after 10+ years. Hoping the Annke lasts as long. So far, I'm very impressed.

good

So far so good. My only complaint is the hookups on the back. Why can’t they make them easier to plug in. My fingers are so sore from that. But the system is working good it took me sometime to get it going. My husband still complaining but he not great with computer stuff. I used you tube to help me hook it up. Good price too just the dvr.

I purchased the ANNKE security camera system in November 2024, and unfortunately it completely stopped working after about six months. The cameras suddenly blanked out and have not worked since, which defeats the purpose of having a “security” system in the first place. To make matters worse, because the failure happened after the return window closed, I can’t return it or get my money back — so I’m now out more than $300 for a system that’s totally useless. For something this important, I expected far better reliability and support. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this product. If you’re looking for a dependable security system, i’d suggest looking elsewhere.

Easy to use. Very clear video.

I use my security cameras in the most basic way: "Autorun", to sequentially scroll through all of the cameras. This model (DT61BS) has 16 camera inputs and I have 12 cameras. It works flawlessly with my Q-See cameras, with a better image than the Q-See VCR on my 20 inch VGA monitor, however, there is no way to disable the 4 extra inputs so as not to show blanks. A few months ago, we had a power outage and the DVR is now rejecting my password and none of my attempts to retrieve/reset the password has worked. I've asked Annke to allow me to trade-in this DVR for a model that addresses my needs.

Very Nice product Works Great !!!
