Not bad
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For months I've been looking for security cameras for our home but didn't want to spend 500 plus for some that I wasn't sure if they would meet my wants. But then I came across a black Friday deal for 200 bucks and figured eh what the heck I'd give them a try and i think they are really great for the price. The were kinda of a pain to hook up because of the wires but I wanted these because of that, I was of interference w the wireless ones. On top of that I love the idea that u can use ur phone or laptop to check the cameras anytime of the day or night which is great when were away from the house or even in bed not wanting to get up, definitely peace of mind. I would definitely recommend these to a friend wanting peace of mind. Also the night vision isn't bad at all eather I'm adding a picture so u can see that.

Great product, easy to use.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The cameras look great. Night vision is awesome. The bad thing about this is the play back feature, you can't input certain times to search. You have to search through the scroll bar and it's difficult to actually pinpoint the start/end times. If you get this product, I'd recommend installing it yourself or not using the geek squad service. They left huge holes in my mortar and I had to buy mortar repair to close the holes. Other than that, the cameras are great, setup of the DVR is easy peasy.

Buyer beware
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First purchased in April of 2017. Everything was ok until one day in December of same year we came in and there was no picture coming from the camera's. The Night Owl DVR showed power was going to it but no video feed was coming through. We plugged a different computer into our monitor to make sure that was not the issue, it wasn't. We plugged the Night Owl DVR into a different computer (to double check) still nothing. Called Night Owl and they had me try unplugging and re-plugging in of all cords, nothing worked. They said they think it was our network. Now mind you it did work for 9 months on this network without a problem. As this is a business, I could not be without a security system. I ordered another night owl December 26th 2017. About 4 months later it started giving us issues, Called night owl again and they had me do the same thing as the first call. It did start working again after my 2 hr phone call but could not pull up wirelessly on phone. Decided that was not a big deal and let it go. Now we have had the second night owl for 1 yr and 2 months and it has stopped working yet again. Night Owl informed me it was out of warranty and they would be happy to upgrade me to a different system, at MY expense. I don't usually write bad reviews as I think they are mostly written out of anger but this time I wanted to make others aware. Unless you want to be on the phone every 6 months for 1 plus hours of hold time and no help on their device, I would look elsewhere. If they would have, in any of the 3 times I had a problem told me, Let me get you a new DVR to see if that works I wouldn't be so upset. Instead they pretty much told me, sorry your problem. The cameras seemed to work ok when the DVR was working, Night vision worked pretty well also. That was why I purchased the second one in the first place. It doesn't hold much on the 1 TB HDD without us having to buy an additional Hard drive for storage. We always had a problem pulling up camera feed either live or past from away from the office. As a business owner, I can assure you this product is not worth the frustration and hours of phone calls it required to have it operate properly. I should also share that I have a Night Owl X at home for our home security, that one is wireless. I can't have a camera more than 15ft away from receiver or it can not connect. Putting it outside your house is next to impossible. Live feed on my phone doesn't work 1/2 the time with this Night Owl X neither. I am usually a pretty easy going person but at this point I can guarantee I will by a whole new system and re-wire everything before I would spend another dime on a Night Owl.

Good quality camera
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great camera system. However I take off one star for the app. And customer service sucks. They have no clue what’s going on. Right now my app won’t let me view it good on real time. Basically it freezes and then it plays and then freezes. So what’s the point of I can’t see in real time?? This has been happening ever since it updated in January. I called customer service but they don’t know. They just tell me to reset the system. Also my old night owl I could fast forward and pause while playing back this one doesnt. Kind of sucks but the quality is good.

Great performance for the amount of investment
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Cameras take very clear pictures and have a longer range than stated on the package. The cameras will take pictures at night as well, but the cameras must be outside to do so. The quality of the night pictures depends on the amount of light from the moon, street lights, head lights, etc. Obviously, if you can't see what is in the dark, neither will the camera; if there is enough light for you to see the cameras will be able to do so as well.

Nice 1080p System
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had an older 980H camera system that needed to be replaced. I choose this one for the price and being 1080p widescreen cameras. I was able to use my existing Analog wires for signal and power and just replace the cameras and DVR. The picture quality was significantly better than my old system. I am using a 27 inch 1080p monitor with HDMI and it looks great. Am using the Web app which works ok, but could use a little work; i only get a frame update every 10 seconds on the cameras when i look at individual views. I also added a few IR flood lights to help with night time brightness. I noticed that after 4 months of use, the cameras have lost their built in IR brightness

Q: QuestionWhat happens when the 1 TB is full ? Is it going to overwrite it ?
Asked by Sijad.
- A:Answer The drive is meant to store your data for a period of time and then the system will write over the oldest data. It's essentially a loop. So if you're getting five days worth of storage, it starts over at the beginning after the five days. If you want it to store for a longer period of time, you have to get a bigger storage device or you have to change the parameters of the recording. You can make the cameras only record when there is movement and then further change the parameters of the sensitivity to only sense bigger movements before recording. Those changes will extend the amount of recording time on your drive. Good luck!
