Good news I contacted the company and they have extended the 25% discount across the hole range. I saved over £209 !!!

Every video I watch of people getting up scaffolding and getting out the big ladder really makes me appreciate my bungalow that little bit more. Also being 6ft5 means I can just reach up for the Christmas lights!

The masking tape a few metres before the end of the ethernet and the drilling hole into house at a slight incline are top notch tips and the reason I keep coming back to this channel :)

Just as an addition to my joke at the end (which I thought was very topical although some didn't 'get it') the system has the ability to 'mask' areas on each camera (turns those areas black) so as not to be able to see or record you neighbours property etc which I've already done.

Great video, Stuart. I am looking to replace my wireless battery security cameras because they're a pain to have to re-charge every few weeks, so a PoE system like this looks ideal. I liked how you spent a good portion of the video explaining the logistics into getting the cabling sorted - that was where I was struggling to see how I'd install something like this but now you've made it a lot clearer!

You say that loft isn’t pleasant, it’s the best looking loft I’ve seen in my 4 years of being an apprentice

Such dry humor! So glad to have found your channel! Greetings from NorCal!

I've had cheaper Annke camera's for nearly 2 years and they still work very well i added sound to the one at the front of my house. Pretty easy to install and the app has always worked well .

Exceptional video. I just want to appreciate what you do for the DIY community. Again amazing video on the Annke camera set up.

We just installed these yesterday! They are seriously amazing! The picture and sound quality is top notch, even at night! We are really impressed. The app is so user friendly too. It's even easy for my Mammy to use 🙌😂💫 Thanks Stuart! We did alot of research into different systems and Annke won. You did a terrific job with this video too. You really sold it for us. Thanks a million 🙏🙂 and very happy with the price as well xx All the best. Highly recommended! We actually purchased two sets for two houses. One up, one more to go 🙏

Great video! I liked the tip to attach the cable to a rigid pipe to push it as far as possible into your attic. I was scratching my head as to how I would reach the cable down by the soffit but you've solved it.

Had this set up for last four years and have no problem with it 👌 I payed 78 pound without a hard drive but picked up a hard drive for 20 pound and it records for 14 days 24 7

Great video, very informative. Brilliant idea with the cables going inside the drainpipe. I fitted my system (Swann Enforcer) at exactly the same time as you were fitting yours, and whilst I'm pleased with mine, I wish I'd seen this vid first, I think I might have chosen the same system. Mine seems to be a bit more complicated to operate than yours.

Informative and entertaining as usual, still giggling when the pipe fell out of the clip 😃

I know what you mean when it says configure, that's why I always call these installations plug and pray ! Well done a good video showing how to install the system

So far I've only progressed to pir floodlights and led downlights, no doubt I'll be tinkering with this idea next week...

Eagerly awaiting the loft board out video. Great one for the autumn/winter :-)

I see annke have raised the price of this system considerably in the past day or so. Probably to counteract the rush to get the 25% discount!

Thanks very much for another great video,I run a small tree surgery company and have recently had my ladder and hand tools stolen from my vehicle so was looking to buy cameras anyway, thanks to you i just checked out on the website saving £95 ! now to catch those thieves!

Good video. My Arlo wireless system just stopped working. I think the hub fried during a storm. You’ve convinced me I can fit one myself, so I’ve ordered an H500 yesterday. The discount code no longer works but hey ho! Still £21 cheaper than on Amazon. Thank you

Great video - thanks Stuart. Keep up the great content! Love the humour as always

Just ordered from your provided link here from the U.S. Thank you for a great review and install video.

Thank you... you have a great way to explain what may seem complex into simple terms. I can see in the future that you'll be approached by the TV networks of offers of your own show....

Excellent description of the walk through.

You sir are a legend. Just what I need to know and saving me cash. Another fantastic video. Thank you 🙂👍

Really Clear and precise video. Thank you

Love how the house is wobbling at @7:22 - maybe want to get that seen to!

Another comprehensive, detailed walkthrough Stuart - thank you. I'm planning to add some cameras to my Synology NAS, as this provides all the functionality of an NVR. Plenty of tips there on routing POE cables!

Good on ya Stuart. Great professional advice. Thanks merry Christmas. 👍🏆

Strongly agree with hiring a tower. Known a few folk who decided to risk it 'just this once' and smashed many bones in the subsequent fall - even inside with ladder on flat floor and someone holding ladder base. I've also used a bucket like that

You were right about that word " CONFIGURE " lol ... Helpfull vid 100 %

Just got this system yesterday and I've been watching a lot of installation videos trying to convince myself it's not going to be that difficult. This is the only one that concerns my specific system. I'm a wee bit concerned about the physical installation, because my husband will strip a gear if I drill holes in this house, but the whole IT part is much more intimidating. I hope it goes as smoothly as yours did! Thank you for posting!

Another great video Stuart. I recently installed the Ring security light/camera combos on front and back. I couldn’t face drilling through the render and brickwork for the cables so took the easier option and just unscrewed two existing up/down lights and replaced with the Rings. The only issue is that they’re only about 7-8feet from the ground so a reasonably tall person could easily disable them with their hand….

Great video. Thanks, Just about to install a new Network and Camera system. some very useful tips!🙂

Another cracking video. Whilst more legwork installing, I image it’s way more reliable than a wireless system (don’t ask me how I know…). Lovely house too.

Great and clear installation video. Good tips to get the wires into the attic! Just one thing I have noticed - it's 5MP not 6MP as per video title :)

Brilliant bit of kit,cheers.

Many Thanks From Belgium !

Top tip: use of a stand-alone test monitor can help camera alignment before connection to the main controller & saving repeated journeys up/down the ladder/tower; esp if you've already moved it before system configuration

Hi Stuart Great video mate, great bit of kit too... But I decided to use Ring on all my properties great clear recordings & have never let me down……. 👍👍👍👍

Nice video. Would like to have seen how the cables came out of the black conduit and in through the wall as it went all the way to ground level.

You're really a pro. Thanks

thanks for the really helpful video. much appreciated

Lovely new build you've got there Stuart. Do you like gravel driveways? Personally I can't stand them... if you don't either then I look forward to the video of you replacing it with blocks :D

Great video. I'm looking into purchasing cctv system for my house.

Useful hints - Thanks!

Great video as always Stuart..

Hi, Good video and we were wanting to upgrade our cctv at home and after watching your video we have went for the H500 and used the discount voucher and we got the cctv system at a good price with the discount, Thanks matey and I have subbed to your channel for more interesting video's Thanks again

Good man very help full thank you

Just one suggestion when you install the Cameras -------- it`s a good idea to mount them where you can reach them with a feather duster on a long stick as they do tend to attract cobwebs.

Nice system- I recently fitted a POE system and it’s night and day compared to the older coax systems

i believe the motion area you selected actually turned "off" the detection for that spot you highlighted, which is the reason why you see the moving blocks on the grid. It indicates it's detecting motion.

Great timely video. I’ve been chewing over what system to go for, for weeks now. Would have been nice to see how the wires were threaded down the black downcomer and then transitioned to the 20mm plastic conduit. Good idea about the blanking plate/box on the inside as I was pondering how I would break out at that location. Does the 25% discount apply to the cameras with microphones also?

Good video and thanks for the code it worked a treat 😁.

Thanks Stuart, very interesting video…..

Great video, good walkthrough of the system. However the discount code does not seem to work on the UK site. Was it time limited

Really helpful video.. Product looks good.. Have you anything showing its night performance?

Watching the neighbors :)))), Good Show Altogether !!

nice vid again stuart, good tips as always. would be good to do a follow up on how they are at night and the false notifications, cause ya gonna get em...

Great video👍

I see you have the same new build problem as me where they put the BT master socket in the worst possible place in the living room. I've just spent a weekend installing conduit to carry several Cat5e cables so I can take the VDSL signal up into the airing cupboard where I can house all my networking equipment, rather than stuffing it all behind the sofa on the floor, as well as take gigabit ethernet back to the living room, and all other rooms in the house. I can't believe they don't run it to an understairs cupboard as standard.

I used the same method of fastening the cable to a bit of pipe when I installed mine. I have an older NVR and it looks like they have updated the software. I have noticed I do not get alerts unless the app is running on my PC or I log into the NVR. Night vision is great until spider decided to make a web across the camera then I get notifications all night.

Very nice vid for an amateur installation.If you're REALY after security peace of mind double or triple the amount of cameras .We live in a bungalow so you are lucky you can mount the cameras out of reach ,we have the problem a determined burglar could simply spray the cameras by creeping up using a blind spot so you need to cover all the blind spots .All our cameras are covered by other cameras removing any blind spots. Your BIG problem will be spiders and unlike us you cant just brush the webs away lol .Another tip is remove the reference to watching the neighbours if you fall out with them they can use data protection laws to send you to court as you have historically said (even in jest) your cameras will be watching them .PS hope your burglers dont come on a foggy night your movement detection will be in overdrive recording fog! The masking feature unfortunately falls on its head if you use a PTZ camera and if you get addicted you will use them lol For older network cable systems you can simply add POE with a cheap dongle no need to replace an older NVR for newer cameras PPS remove the down pipe reference those naughty burglars now know where to cut your cables

Very helpful video many thanks. question. After the initial setup prior to installing outside, is a monitor required as I would be leaving my NVR in the loft, can I block sections of the camera/motions zones on the app or do I need to do that using the NVR etc. Thanks in advance

Great video, looking at the comments, maybe another video to show how you transitioned from the downpipe to the 22mm, and a bit about the cam functions and quality in the day and night? 👍

Great Vid, I have the H500 package (base unit and 4 C500s) my question is the camera's have memory card slots how and why should I use them and what happens when they are full?

Good and helpful . Thanks.👍🍻

Thank you.

Thanks man😁

I had a brush like yours Stuart. I only had it for a week and the head came off. I fixed it but a week later the handle came off.

Wonderful. How do you fish the Ethernet wires from loft to the control box

Very informative video.

Nice video ! One thing you should blur out those QR Codes as we can retrieve the serial number of your DVR system

Nice house you got Stuart

How did you run the cables from the loft to the downstairs router? Or am I missing something, I don't get how that part works,that's what put me off and I bought a Eufy wireless system instead which is great for people like me not wanting cables and holes through walls. btw you have a lovely house :)

Hi.Could you tell me if the HD box needs to be plugged into the router or if it can be connected via WiFi. I'm sorry but i couldn't quite tell and i would like to fit the system in my garage away from the router but within WiFi Signal. Thanks for all the great videos

Good

Great video

Excellent instructional review, as usual... If ever there was a job for two people that surely was it. Don't understand why they don't fit the harddrive...

Excellent video, can the cable come out of the side of the base (does it have a relief?)

Great video as always, Stuart. We'd love to know what the system is like at night please? As most burglaries take place during the night time so how well does it work? 🤷‍♂️

I was looking at one of their wireless systems as my garage is detached and I can't see the door from the house. Shame the code they gave you only works on this one product. Really interesting video. Nice trick with the down pipe.

Thanks 😀

Typical 1week ago we bought and installed our system. The price of this is comparable but your is a better system. Nice vid. Shame about the timing

which Lens did you get 4mm or 2.5? The camara look really wide, brilliant. Will order one.

How would you go about factory resetting the NVR, so you can start from scratch?

Interesting video. What are the cameras like at recording in the dark?

Stuart, great video, have a system like that already and it's a great bit of kit. I might add that your QR codes were completely scannable from pausing the video and that while I know that Annke app is pretty good at 2 step authentication, it might be safer to edit them out completely as you will get some Muppet that will try to pen test your camera system. Keep up the good work great videos as always.

Great video, really enjoy your videos, you have some excellent skills. I'm thinking it's time I fitted cameras, especially with the way things are these days, and wondered how are these cameras now you've had them in for a year? Also, will the code still work please. Cheers Richard.

Plug and Play - Plug it in and then play with it for ages till it works

How thick is your soffit board? Why did you drill holes before screwing into the soffit? Would the screws not fall out doing this?

I've brought these but the ballet camera. As I was with eufy

Thank you for your video. you installed on a celling . which camera do you recommend for wall installation?

I have the Swann 5mp system with thermal sensing so it doesn’t cram up the hard drive with false triggers also fitted a PTZ camera which is a brilliant piece of kit 👍🏻

Well done

An interesting watch.

Hello…. I have cat 6 cables running in my walls going to different rooms. I am thinking about installing NVR security cameras via POE…. My question is can POE cat 6 cables and regular cat 6 run together? Will there be interference or heating from the POE cables?

great video,, but what are the cams like at night ???

Well I’ve just took the plunge and bought the same system with 25% discount. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Nice video, considering getting this unit. Does the box have to be connected to the internet router via ethernet or it it wireless? Thanks
