Whats the catch with Annke?

[H0va4life]

Anybody order from Annke? I see their cameras 50% cheaper than competitors like reolink, so I am wondering what am I missing? Ive been looking at dual lens cameras.

Update - I ordered and I got a fedex tracking number with an address based out of New Jersey, so there isnt any shipping directly out of china either - that was my initial thought to explain for the low price.

Annke, if you find a good deal on their current products imho worth it - looks like Hikvision OEM cameras, some shipping out of Hong Kong

I like Hikvision a LOT more than Reolink

I have the Annke FDC600, a fairly cheap 180 degree cam, and it works great as an overview camera... triggers well, Onvif, all that. All my other cams are Dahua (EmpireTech), but at the time Dahua didn't have a 180 that also had IR, which I wanted.

I just ordered TWO of the fcd800s for less than one duo2.. im just mind boggled. good to know the 600 is working well for you.

nice, see a 2 pack on sale ..
( update: looks like the code AWRBM0T9KBR5 will knock it down to under $118 .. )

I have a couple of those and they are great for the price. I see they are 2 for $119.99.
That's cheaper than I paid 2 years ago when they were on sale. I run them using IR only as the IR reaches out further than the LED lights. The dual lens stitching works well too.

I was waiting for a deal to pick up another one. Guess who picked up the two pack?

@H0va4life: I would say that I probably have too many of these already except that I just ordered more. Way back, I started a thread on these (and Paxvigo's) cams. They are definitely nice., and like @Broachoski, I only use IR at night. Not just because of the better distance you get with IR, but also because I just don't like the lights on all night (personal preference...).

Hi. Been about 10 years since I've caught up. Just learned today about Dahua/Hikvision. Wondering if these will work with a 2018 4216 4k Dahua NVR? These look interesting for sure.

The Dual Lens cameras may show as 2 separate streams on older NVRs .. otherwise check if the resolutions per each lens is supported. IIRC should be, but do check the fps and resolution.

Dahua NVRs, you may need to run the Hikvision as ONVIF settings to get the stream in

Very much appreciated!

Annke has always been good (for me, YMMV) for speedy shipping. Mine are on their way via FedEx from NJ...
