Easy to install and use

This DVR is great for home security. I bought this to replace my SANNCE DVR when their servers went down so I could get remote access to my cameras again. This is a huge improvement. Convenient and easy to set up.

Pros
  • 1 year trial
Cons
  • Socket required

The worst mistake is made.

That was the biggest mistake I've ever made. Why isn't this dash cam compatible with cameras other than the same Amcrest brand? A. And tech support is the worst thing they don't know about customer service.

Pros
  • Quality Build
Cons
  • New competitors appeared

Works great!: Security & Surveillance

Image quality is good during the day. For the night hours you need additional lighting. The setup UI is slightly different from the documentation, but I was able to figure it out. I wouldn't call it intuitive, but it works.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Hard to remember but it was

I couldn't be happier!

I had to buy a new Amcest DVR to replace my old one but I wanted to use my old cameras. I have written to Amcrest support. Within a day Dean replied with a link to this DVR. Ordered and received in 2 days. After 3 days my system was up and running. The DVR was relatively easy to program with basic computer skills. This model is smaller and quieter than the old DVR. I am very happy with my Amcrest system, this DVR and the Amcrest customer service.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Lots of stuff

Terrible DVR/NVR Best Security & Surveillance

This company used to be great but now like most big companies they sell a cheap product that doesn't always work properly! Furthermore, their CSR base is in India where it is very difficult for you to communicate with them. This will be my 3rd dash cam that has had issues and I received it a week ago and it says it doesn't have the hard drive I bought with 1TB of storage! Shame on Amcrest they went to the toilet and I will never buy their product again!

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Good

BUYER BEWARE! Compatibility issue

Model AMDVTENL8-H5. I ordered this unit to replace my previous DVR. The initial setup of the AcCrest DVR was easy, the mobile app worked well, the video was good on the home monitor (wired connection) and on multiple mobile devices. Four months after purchase/installation, all videos disappear. I called support, disconnected/connected, restarted the DVR from main menu > System > Default, nothing works. The support rep said I need to reset the cameras. Told him there is no reset for my 8…

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • I won't say anything
