Best CCTV Systems of 2025

"This product was a great deal! It arrived early and was well packaged. Setup was super easy, taking my husband about 1.5 hours to install the new cameras. The picture quality is great both day and night, although the night vision could be better. Overall, I definitely recommend this system for its excellent value."

"I absolutely love this security camera system. The setup was straightforward and it came with 8 cameras and wires. The picture clarity surpasses our previous ADT system. But what really stands out is the customer service. When I had a question about push notifications, Hugo Cruz helped me immediately. After 7 months, I'm still extremely satisfied and appreciate the no monthly fee."

"I had a rough experience with Amazon selling me a customer returned product. They denied me assistance, forcing me to buy missing pieces. However, Annke's customer service was a blessing. They helped troubleshoot my issues and provided excellent support throughout the process. I'm so grateful for their dedication to resolving my problems!"

"I purchased the Annke security DVR system a few months ago to replace my outdated Q-SEE system. The video quality is a massive improvement, and I was so impressed that I ordered four more cameras to upgrade to an all HD setup. The installation was straightforward, and the DVR is dead silent, especially compared to my old one!"

"After I recently installed the ANNKE 8CH 3K Lite Security Camera System, I was impressed with its performance. The AI human and vehicle detection works flawlessly, and the image clarity is exceptional day and night. This system is definitely worth the investment for anyone looking for reliable security."

"I bought this camera system based on the positive reviews, and while it worked well at first, I faced some issues after three months. The cameras stopped functioning properly, and even after contacting support, the solution was temporary. I received a replacement camera, but all four are having issues. It's disappointing after a promising start."

"I've become obsessed with my new camera system! After experiencing car break-ins nearby, I finally decided to invest in this system. I chose it for its affordability and the 8 wired cameras it offers. Installation was a bit tricky, but the DVR setup was straightforward. The image clarity is impressive, and I can see my boat clearly even at night. I'm still learning how to adjust notifications for bugs, but overall, I'm thrilled with my purchase!"

"This entry-level surveillance system has exceeded my expectations. It replaced my old Lorex system, and I must say, it's better than my previous $800 setup! The image quality is significantly improved, and the controls are much more advanced. The app is user-friendly, allowing for quick access to events, and the sensitivity settings are excellent. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for an affordable yet effective surveillance solution."

"Having experienced a DVR failure with my old system, I decided to try the Annke system, and I'm pleasantly surprised. The setup was easy, and the interface is intuitive. Although I faced a minor issue connecting the system online, customer service was responsive and helpful. The app works well for playback, allowing me to monitor every angle. So far, I'm really satisfied with this great purchase!"

"I've purchased multiple systems over the years, and I must say, this one offers exceptional quality. The DVR performs excellently, unlike my previous system, which had poor playback resolution. However, I found the lack of instructions frustrating. Setting it up required an app and scanning QR codes, which wasn't clearly explained."

"I feel this product is well worth the money. I had a bad camera initially, but they replaced it quickly without any hassle. Installation required some effort in the attic, and I recommend getting good quality cables to maintain video quality. Despite the temperatures dropping to -29°F in Minnesota, my cameras have performed flawlessly."

"Las cámaras son excelentes. La instalación no fue complicada, pero elegir la ubicación adecuada fue un desafío. El DVR incluye un disco duro de 2TB, suficiente para grabar por meses. Además, se conecta a internet, lo cual es útil para monitorear desde afuera."

"I really enjoy this camera. It's a great replacement and performs much better than the original."

"After installing my 8 camera system, I found it easy to configure. Customer support was very helpful, and when a camera failed, they quickly sent a replacement. I’d definitely recommend Zosi!"

"At first, I was skeptical about the low price, but this system exceeded my expectations. The cameras provide clear video both day and night, and the customer service is outstanding!"

"I normally don't write reviews, but this product has exceeded my expectations. I purchased the 8 channel DVR by GW for $799, but this ANNKE system offers almost identical features at a fraction of the price. The picture quality and user-friendliness are impressive. I installed it easily at my two shops. After looking at various systems, I can confidently say this is the best value available."

"This camera system has surpassed my expectations. It includes almost everything needed for a security setup, except for a hard disk drive. Adjustable cameras allow for easy angle adjustments, and the app is simple to install. Initially, I faced some issues with adding the DVR, as it showed 'offline' until I rebooted it. However, once I switched the app's view from Basic to HD, the video resolution improved significantly. Overall, I believe this system is a solid choice for home security."

"These cameras are fantastic! I purchased them for my daycare, and their quality is amazing. I only need one camera per room, and it covers everything perfectly. I highly recommend them. When I needed help with my account, Amy from Onwote resolved my issue in just 10 minutes. What a great system!"

"I choose Onwote cameras because I believe in investing in reputable companies that value service and quality. These cameras deliver exceptional quality and come with outstanding customer service, providing me with the peace of mind I need in today's busy world."

"The system works great! The sound and views are excellent, and I'm very satisfied with the product. Installation was a breeze, and the configuration was as easy as 1-2-3. Their support is truly phenomenal if you have any questions!"

"I've owned two camera systems before this one. I had a Swann setup which was excellent but had to leave it behind when I sold my house. I then tried a Zosi system that was a disaster. I decided to give the ANNKE system a shot because of its price point and I’m glad I did. The cameras are plastic, which is great for outdoor use, and adjusting the camera angles is straightforward. The installation process was standard, but I recommend being gentle with the thin cables. The setup was a breeze compared to my previous system, which often rebooted and lost recordings. With ANNKE, I could easily connect everything, and the app worked perfectly. If you're looking for a reliable surveillance system, this is it!"

"After a month of using this system, I’m giving it 5 stars. There have been no issues with the quality of the cameras or the DVR. It took some time to tweak the different settings, but I finally settled on the $300 8-camera setup with 2 MegaPixel cameras. They are sufficient for home use, although I wish they were 5 MP. The cameras also have a bright white light that activates with motion, which is a nice security feature. Despite the cold temperatures and ice storms, everything has been functioning well. Installation was straightforward, although I ended up drilling quite a few holes. Overall, I think this system is a great value for the money.”

"I decided to take a chance on this system after reading mixed reviews, and I’m happy with my choice. The first step was connecting a camera to the DVR to test it, and everything worked perfectly. I ran the cam wires through the wall and across the attic, needing to buy two 25ft extension wires for the farthest cameras. The setup was simple, and I was able to see all 8 camera views clearly. The user manual covers the settings briefly, but I navigated through the menus without much trouble. One feature I love is the security light that triggers when motion is detected. I set it up to alert the DVR, and I can even view all cameras from over 500 miles away. Everything just works as advertised, and I might add another camera in the future!"

“I set this up at my mother-in-law's house and loved it so much that I ordered one for my home as well. It works great, has great quality, and the prices are excellent! Also, it was easy to set up.”

“I opened the box and found everything well-packaged. I didn't need the manual because it was straightforward—just plug and play. I mounted my four cameras and connected them to the DVR. However, I had a bit of trouble with the app since my phone's camera couldn't scan the QR code. I had to search for the app in the Play Store, but once I registered, the cameras were up and running.”

“I use this system for surveillance at my campground and am quite pleased with it, especially for offline use. I prefer wired cameras to avoid battery concerns, and I would definitely buy this system again.”

"I found the customer service from Zosi to be outstanding. Slina helped me with compatibility questions and even sent me replacement screws for free. The camera resolution is sharp, and the system works well with my existing setup."

"Setting up the system was a breeze! I appreciated the amount of cable provided for the price. The video quality can go up to 1080p, and for the cost, it's a great value. Though, I wish the app had better notifications for alerts."

"I bought this system primarily for surveillance and it performs well for my needs. The motion sensor feature has some inconsistencies, causing some crashes, but overall, the viewing quality is good, especially for the price. Installation was simple, which I appreciated!"
