Rank #3 in Best CCTV Camera Systems 2026: 10 Ranked, and Three Listings That Contradict Themselves
ANNKE 3MP Wireless CCTV System with 7" Monitor, 4CH, 64GB
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The ANNKE 2K Wireless Security Camera System is third in this guide at £162.49. As listed, it is a four-channel wireless kit built around a 7-inch touchscreen NVR: cameras quoted at 3MP (2304x1296) and 30 fps, a 70-degree viewing angle, two-way audio, human detection alerts, and infrared night vision up to 100ft. It carries 4.4 out of 5 from 1,779 ratings.
Its own numbers do not fully line up. The title and the spec table both say 64GB of storage, while the fifth bullet promises "our generous 256GB max storage capacity". That same bullet is headed "Up to 18-Day Seamless Recording" but then describes recording two cameras "for an entire week". The listing carries both pairs of figures and does not reconcile either. Everything on this page — price, rating, specification and the customer reviews quoted below — comes from the Amazon listing and its reviews, not from any testing we carried out.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“A good, simple to set up system for basic security. Cameras need a power supply feed which might not be for everyone but the video is good quality, night vision is good and having a screen is a bonus. As a camera is triggered the screen shows the feed from that camera which is a bonus. Needs a reasonable wifi signal.The App is a bit basic and it would be good to be able to turn the PTZ function off as it appears on the screen but overall for this price you cant complain.”
Verified purchase“This camera set up is great for anyone on a budget who want some security cameras - however it's seems a bit misleading as states wireless but the cameras themselves are cabled to plug inthe connection between the cameras & hub is wireless & of good quality pictures & detectionThey are east to install & cost is amazing just what we needed”

Questions people ask
How much storage does this ANNKE system have?
The title and the memory storage capacity row both say 64GB. The fifth bullet says "our generous 256GB max storage capacity". Both figures sit in the same listing, and the listing does not say which of them applies out of the box.
What resolution do the ANNKE cameras record at?
The name says 2K and the spec table gives a video capture resolution of 3MP (2304x1296) at 30 fps with a 70-degree viewing angle. 2304x1296 works out at roughly 3 megapixels.
How many cameras can the ANNKE 4CH NVR run?
The spec table lists 4 channels, and the fifth bullet describes recording 2 cameras for a week on 256GB. The listing text here does not name a camera count for the box.
Does it see in the dark?
The listing says infrared night vision up to 100ft, given in the spec table as a night vision range of 100 feet with smart IR.
Is a monitor included with the ANNKE kit?
The name includes a 7-inch LCD monitor and the special features list a 7-inch IPS touch screen for local monitoring, so you can watch the feeds at the recorder rather than on a phone.
Do the cameras need mains power?
The spec table gives the power source as corded electric and the network connectivity as wireless, and one reviewer notes the cameras need a power supply feed while the link to the hub is wireless.
