Super cheap 8 channel CCTV system with four cameras...
Chaps,
Before you all beat me up saying they are here’s a seemingly good Amazon deal.... i’m not saying you should be relying on this to protect your millionaires row houses but those looking for a cheapy system to protect your garage or shed this may interest you!
I was interested at that price anyway but then found a voucher code GXGGTH5Q I got a further 20% off...
So for £135 got a four camera 8 channel 1 TB DVR with all the cabling.... not expecting anything fantastic but surely at that price it’s got to be worth playing with??

Determined that that code is specific to me but you should be able to use your own code under the Cyber Monday deal..... good luck!

bought similar last year and tbh its not bad
it was good enough to be able to watch some scrote nick my pushbike !!!
the play backs a bit irratic and remote access was beyond me and not 100% happy allowing the chinese government to spy on my house
it has stopped the local dog letting there hounds crap on my drive tho so worth it just for that
(not saying all dog owners are irresponsible and allow this but theres plenty that are )MY05 SE D3 Manual my first LR what a car
MY10 HSE D4 auto
MY14 XXV more buttons than the spaceshuttle

Update on this story....frankly I don’t know how they do it for the price.... for the money it’s excellent...bit of a faff getting remote access but even I managed it in the end going to the right application ( there are numerous similar ones )
The night vision is awesome...the cameras are infra red and the image is like daylight....only downside is you can’t make them covert and hide the cameras away as they glow red at night....so the sneaky one I hid under some branches disclosed its presence as soon as I switched it on...
Hardest bit of the job was routing all the cables neatly...but blinding for the price!
If you just want to cover your garden, shed or drive these are perfect for the price.....

Code does not work for me
Any other codes I could use ? Last night I lay in bed looking up at the stars in the sky and I thought to myself, where,s the f**king ceiling!!
Pops up as a code when I click on the link but looks like you have to signup for something? Didn't investigate further..

Guys if your buying the Annke Cctv system then use the Annke Vision app not any of the others...
If you search for it on an iPad you won’t find it without switching off the filters in the top left corner and click iPhone only..... don’t worry it still works on both regardless.....
Any probs i’m now an expert! Lol

Can this thing be viewed on a smart TV? So door bell rings, change channel and you can see who is at the door?

In theory yes as it has a hdmi cable input.... I struggled with this and for whatever reason couldn’t view the picture.... my technical knowledge is zero particularly with IT systems...however I did get it viewing on an old monitor with a VGA cable... so mine is beside the TV streaming constant live images....
Couple of weeks in and still super pleased with it for the price!

Very happy with mine. Only problem I have is that the kit says it's 1080p but my cameras only appear to be recording in 720 according to the system. Any ideas Farmer Chalk?
