Review on 📹 ANRAN Wireless Security Camera System: 8 Channel 2K NVR, 4Pcs 3MP Home WiFi Cameras, 13" LCD Monitor, 1TB Storage, Pan 180°, Night Vision, Waterproof, Motion Alert, Remote Access by Vedavyas Fleming

When I first started looking for a security system for my home, there were so many options I didn't even know where to start! was the price. Not the exact price but the price range. After that, I decided to explore the most common device options in this space. There were about as many wireless ones as wired ones, and I didn't have much of a fondness for them. I really preferred 4k but with moving cameras it just wasn't financially feasible. So this is the system I came across! Having the monitor as part of the NVR was one of the biggest advantages of this system and the ability to add more capacity later if needed was also great. The setup was exactly what I expected and was pretty straight forward and simple. The hardest part of the whole setup was connecting the power to the cameras. At this point I was wondering if I could set up a POE camera as well since I would be doing almost the same amount of work! But then I remembered that I also needed to tie those ethernet cables to the switch, so I quickly dismissed that thought and went back to the installation. Well, when it comes to connecting cameras to the NVR, your experience can be very different from mine, and even very different from one camera to the next, as signal strength and quality varies from house to house and from router to router (or indeed wireless) vary Access to a wireless hotspot), so do it yourself first and make sure you're using either 2.5GHz or 5GHz (2.5GHz has the best range, but 5GHz has faster speeds and a better bandwidth, so keep that in mind). and download a WiFi scan tool (sorry iPhone users, I last checked you couldn't even do this on your platform) and see how the signal quality of your network is by installing each of their cameras want. While you're at it, also look at the channel chart of the frequency you've chosen and see if there are other networks nearby that use the same channel as you. If there are and are also a few free channels (or even another full channel that has a much lower signal strength), you should definitely change the channel of your WiFi network, as this can help prevent any network interference problems that may arise. I set up my entire system (while using 2 cameras). I just let them run for a couple of weeks if I don't need access before then and then pull random dates and times during that time span to see how the cameras are handling different weather conditions, visibility, humidity, temperature and most importantly day and night Night! I don't want to give my general opinion just yet until I can use it for a while longer, so I'll give an update once I've done all the above steps and hopefully come to some kind of conclusion. I'll also try to download some footage from the NVR and upload it to this review so you can get an idea of what the footage will look like.
