Use our Recording Time Calculator to determine how many days storage you can expect from this 2 camera, 500GB hard drive, HD 720p CCTV system. If using motion detection we generally advise setting the most commonly used camera to 4 hours. We have set all other cameras to 2 hours as an estimate, but you can change this below to suit your needs.
* Based on using the default settings; system will begin to overwrite existing footage once storage is full.

I bought this Item some time ago and has it installed myself and also added a different brand of camera which looked the same as the original two for just about £5 each and it works the same.
Going back to the Item it was interesting trying to install all the cameras around my house and getting the wires into the house to the Hub and also using the Ethernet cable to connect to the web. That was the hard bit.
The system works fine as it should do however I found the viewing angle to be too small and doesn’t cover enough ground space. In the night time you can see the ground but it’s not that clear as you won’t be able to identify people’s faces from a distance. I think most CCTVs are like this. Daytime it is very clear.
The App was tricky as it didn’t work the first time but managed to get it to work.
It took a full day to install this system for the first time.
Down side: Not enough viewing angel to cover big area around my house, and the Night vision isn’t as clear.
Upside: It works and value for money without having to spend over £150. It is a deterrent and that’s about it.

After researching various different manufacturers and then the different options for the camera features and functions, I settled on this one. It came quickly and the instructions were really easy to follow. The added bonus of this system is the compatibility with the Yale app and home security control. The ability to remotely access the camera and alarm system via the app is one of the best features. The DVR itself is easy to navigate and the menus are intuitive. The cameras are mounted easily and the length of the cables is really good. The option of sound on the cameras would have been a good addition. The night vision is really good and I would say exceeds 20m.

Buying this product has made me feel incredibly safe and secure.
The system was very easy to set up and is easily viewed on my main tv.
The safe staff were incredibly helpful on the phone to help with any questions I had.
The system was excellent value for money and looks a treat.

This is fantastic piece of kit that's full of features for anyone who is at a confident level with their own IT. This isn't a simple plug and play like Swann CCTV systems. But once you set this up working via the app for remote viewing. The quality is far superior than Swann. Nice simple and small design DVR. Solid build cameras that look and feel professional. Simple to install on to external walls and plenty of length cable for many installation options. Capacity to upgrade to 4 cameras is great and will more than likely be taken advantage of as you always need more angles if cover.

The camera kit was at a bargain price cheaper than I could find it elsewhere online.
This kit Does the job and is very easy to use however I haven’t managed to connect to my phone to view live video when out, hopefully my friend can help with this.
The cables for the cameras are plenty long enough to reach the front of the house from my living room on the back, got some wire clips to keep things neat on the external wall.
The recorder box is simple to use making for easy playback.
Overall happy with my purchase and would recommend!

Excellent product. No problems in installation. As I have added two more cameras there are lots of wires leading to the back of the DVD box. I managed to find some spiral cable tidy to neaten the installation. The product is easy to use and the instructions very clear to follow. The hardware seem to be robust and well finished. Whilst the cameras are rated for external use I was concerned about the BNC connectors being exposed to the elements. To protect them I arranged the installation so that the connectors were sited underneath the roofing tiles.
Yale products are of high quality. I have now purchased the Yale safe and the intruder alarm.
I was also impressed with the service I got from Safe company.
Products were easy to order and quick to be delivered.

I bought this product a short time ago to help me to protect my property from the many vandals down our street. It was delivered within 24hrs of purchase Which pleased me no end. It took a while to decide how to route my camera cables and what part of my property needed protection. I finally decided to fit one camera to the front of my house to protect my car and I fitted the other camera to the rear of my house to protect my back yard. It works brilliantly day and night. A great peace of kit, would recommend this cctv system to anyone.

The product itself is excellent. The picture quality of the cameras is very good. HD mode gives a sharp and fairly defined display in 720 overall. We have the base unit connected to our internet servive provider and from there, our television and mobile phones. We especially like the option to display the camera view on our mobile phone screen in real time.The ability to check over our home whilst away, at work for example, certainly adds a sence of security and peace of mind to this very worthwhile purchase. Installation of the cameras, as well as the wiring, is a DIY job if you feel confident enough. The cameras have been exposed to some adverse weather conditions since installation. They have continued to perform well without any issues.

Safe have been great, camera system also great, app (remote viewing) however was terrible. Yale spent a LOOOOONG time sorting, but now appears to be fine.
One of cameras did not work out of box, but was sorted very quickly.

The camera system is great value for money! I've recently fitted this system in my own home and 4 of my neighbours after a break in on the road. All the customers i fit them for love how clear the picture is, also enjoy the ease of the menu layout and the simple language used to help them through the setup of recording and downloading etc. Look great and give a good finish to a property. We install our system with 20mm black conduit and it gives a real professional finish to the installation. The customer support with the product is also fantastic. The value for money cannot be beaten in my opinion, definitely a product we will continue to install. 👍🏻👍🏻

This was the best option for a 2-camera CCTV, managed to install it myself without any problems, works great so far after 40 or so days since installed. Option to expand with 2 more cameras. The picture quality is quite good day or night but obviously better for close-up, all depends on what the camera points to and how far the object is. For instalation, all you need is to plug the cables and point the cameras. Instructions are easy to follow. Quite good, thinking of buying one more. Could probably be slightly cheaper but safe.co.uk definitely the best place to buy from. Also, Safe.co.uk have the best price for Yale CCTV online.

I bought the Yale security kit from Safe.co.uk and highly recommend the company. I had a problem with one of the Yale cameras and after contacting Yale twice and getting no response contacted Safe. I explained the problem over the phone to a gentleman from their technical department, he asked questions I could understand, and we went through a couple of test to determine what the problem was, and to obtain a solution. After determining the problem I was informed that he would contact Yale to get a free replacement of faulty parts, and would contact me when he had done so. This he did within a few days, and informed me that replacement parts were on there way way. Thank you Safe shame on you Yale.
