Common questions


How far can the ANNKE 12MP 8CH PoE Network Video Recorder, No HDD identify someone?

ANNKE does not publish both a sensor resolution and a focal length for this product, and DORI distance cannot be derived without both. Rather than estimate one, this sheet leaves it out. If you have the manufacturer datasheet to hand, the DORI calculator on this site works the distance out from those two figures directly.

What is the infrared range of the ANNKE 12MP 8CH PoE Network Video Recorder, No HDD?

ANNKE does not publish an infrared range for this product, so this site does not state one. An invented figure would be worse than no figure, because a reader would plan a camera position around it. Where a maker does publish a range, treat it as the distance its own lamp reaches in ideal conditions rather than the distance at which a face stays identifiable.

What specifications does ANNKE publish for this product?

Channels: 8, Resolution: 12 MP, PoE ports: 8. Everything in the table on this page is taken from the manufacturer listing rather than measured by us. Any row shown as not published is a figure this maker does not state, and this site will not fill that gap with an estimate.

Is the ANNKE 12MP 8CH PoE Network Video Recorder, No HDD worth buying?

Supplied without a drive, which is the cheaper path when you are fitting a surveillance drive sized from your own retention calculation rather than accepting whatever came in the box. This site does not test products in person, so that assessment comes from the published specifications, the applicable standards and verified owner reports rather than from hands-on trials we did not run. Prices change often, so check the current listing before deciding.

Work out whether it fits

Specifications are published figures, not measurements we took. This site does not test products in person. Where a maker does not publish a figure, such as a true infrared range or a low light rating, this page says it is not published rather than estimating one, because a reader planning a camera position around an invented number is the worst outcome this site could produce.
