Before you believe a bad review about us

We would like to respond openly to every negative review about us. Many are posted anonymously, so we cannot reach those customers directly. This open letter is our reply, and we would be grateful if you took a moment to read it.

But here is what a one-star review will never tell you:

  • We import from 70+ official distributors. That is why you pay far less than local retail — and why delivery takes longer. We publish the date before you pay, never after.
  • You can pay only when your goods land in Johannesburg. Pay on Arrival, no full payment up front. Ask yourself what scammer offers that.
  • Nobody has ever lost money with us. You get the product, or you get a refund. There is no third option, and there never has been.
  • We are part of the ITwork group — ten years trading in Europe, nine stores, thousands of positive reviews.
  • Johannesburg and Cape Town stores open this year — real shelves, real stock, walk in and buy the same day.

We are not satisfied with our review scores, and we are not going to fix them by hiding anything. We are fixing them by being faster, clearer and easier to reach than any reason to complain.

Read the full letter — photos and video of real shipments, and a straight answer to every accusation.

Ernitec Cygnus 16 channel PoE NVR supports up to 3840x2160 (8MP) resolution for live view and recording, provides 16 PoE camera ports and a 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 network interface, and accepts two SATA hard drives up to 12 TB each for local storage. The recorder includes smart search and playback functions and supports cloud firmware upgrades.

Advantages

The NVR integrates PoE power and network for up to 16 cameras, simplifying installation and cable management. Intelligent analysis capabilities include intrusion detection with accurate differentiation of vehicles and humans. Dual SATA bays allow large local storage capacity, while HDMI and VGA outputs enable direct monitoring. A 128W total PoE budget and Gigabit Ethernet ensure reliable video throughput.

Suitable for

  • Medium to large indoor or outdoor video surveillance systems
  • Retail stores, offices and small industrial premises
  • Parking areas and building entrances requiring vehicle and human intrusion detection
  • Sites needing continuous recording with large local storage

  • Maximum camera resolution: up to 8MP (3840×2160)
  • Network interface: 1 × RJ45 10/100/1000 Mbps
  • Storage: 2 × SATA HDD bays, up to 12 TB per HDD
  • PoE total budget: 128 W

  • Weight: 2.27 kg

How to use

Install compatible IP cameras to the 16 PoE ports to provide network connectivity and power over a single cable. Connect the NVR to a network switch or router via the RJ45 Gigabit port for remote access. Insert one or two SATA hard drives for local recording, configure recording schedules and motion or intrusion rules through the NVR web interface or local GUI, and connect a monitor using the HDMI or VGA output for live view and playback.

Recommendations

Use high-quality CAT5e/CAT6 cabling for PoE camera connections, keep firmware up to date via the supported cloud upgrade mechanism, and configure intrusion detection sensitivity appropriate to the monitored environment to reduce false alarms. For continuous long-term storage, choose HDDs rated for surveillance use and consider regular backups of critical footage.
