FOXYPICK / PRODUCT EVIDENCE REGISTER

Five systems.
Verified facts. Visible gaps.

A model-by-model source register for our wired camera shortlist. Each row distinguishes what the manufacturer actually documents from what still needs independent confirmation. This is research auditing—not a new ranking.

AUDIT SNAPSHOT / OCTOBER 31, 2026

What we've established—and what we haven't.

We checked the precise model identifiers and basic system configurations using manufacturers' published product pages. The evidence below supports model identity and listed specifications, not comparative durability or a laboratory-based winner score.

Evidence classification: “Manufacturer documented” means an official product page explicitly lists a feature. It does not mean FoxyPick independently tested or verified real-world performance. “Open” means the claim needs additional confirmation. A current product page may change.

PRODUCT-BY-PRODUCT / WIRED POE SYSTEMS

The five-product evidence register

#1 / EXISTING EDITORIAL RANK

eufy PoE NVR Security System S4 Max

Manufacturer documented: Four PoE S4 cameras, 4TB included NVR storage, continuous recording, and a combined 4K fixed view plus tracking PTZ design.

Open research: Independent comparative tracking accuracy, false alerts, installed reliability, total ownership cost and long-term service experience.

Configuration caution: eufy's NVR has 16-channel support, but each Bullet-PTZ camera occupies two real-time streams; do not infer that 16 S4 cameras can be attached.

#2 / EXISTING EDITORIAL RANK

Reolink RLK8-1200B4-A

Manufacturer documented: Four 12MP PoE cameras, eight wired camera ports, included 2TB hard drive and continuous recording support.

Open research: Independent comparative night-video usefulness, customer-facing software reliability, actual storage retention and model-specific bundle version.

Configuration caution: Reolink pages include differing historical or hardware-version statements about maximum expansion; use the current applicable hardware revision, not an unsupported universal capacity.

#3 / EXISTING EDITORIAL RANK

Swann AdvancedX 4K NVR — Six-camera bundle

Manufacturer documented: An AdvancedX six-camera bullet variant (SWNVK-8ADVANX6B) with 4K cameras and an eight-channel NVR containing a 1TB hard drive.

Open research: Independent footage comparisons, app reliability and the exact U.S. bundle available through a given search listing.

Configuration caution: SWNVK-8ADVANX6B and SWNVK-8ADVANX6D identify different camera-type configurations. Model suffix and region are essential.

#4 / EXISTING EDITORIAL RANK

ANNKE AU-N98PBK2-94ET-P

Manufacturer documented: Four 8MP dual-lens dome cameras, an eight-channel 12MP-capable PoE NVR, and a 2TB hard drive in this exact kit.

Open research: Independent evaluation of stitched views, night detail, notifications and support longevity.

Configuration caution: AU-N98PBK2-94EV-P is a distinct bullet-camera configuration; do not accidentally substitute it for the ET dome kit.

#5 / EXISTING EDITORIAL RANK

Reolink RLK8-800D4

Manufacturer documented: Four 8MP/4K D800 dome cameras with an eight-port PoE NVR and included 2TB storage in the standard kit.

Open research: Comparative field performance, detailed night recordings, durability and current exact Amazon bundle contents.

Configuration caution: The manufacturer offers other D800 bundles and hardware revisions. Confirm the exact RLK8-800D4 kit and camera count.

WHAT IS NOT YET VERIFIED

No new scores awarded

We have not independently measured tracking performance, image detail, sustained uptime, retention under real bitrates, app stability or the complete installed cost for these five systems.

It would be misleading to assign precise reliability or performance numbers from specifications alone. The existing ranked order remains editorially published and should be re-evaluated as stronger evidence is gathered.

BUYER-SIDE VERIFICATION

What to confirm before choosing a listing.

01 / EXACT MODEL

Match the full kit code

Check suffixes, camera type and count, hardware revision, and the actual recorder.

02 / STORAGE

Check included capacity

Confirm drive size and expected retention under the recording settings you need.

03 / COMPATIBILITY

Check power and features

Verify cable, PoE, camera streams, compatible accessories and subscription terms.

04 / REAL COST

Look beyond the box

Account for cabling, mounting, storage upgrades and installation assistance.
