[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my very first security camera system, so keep that in mind. I don't know how much of these things are common in other products. I really like these cameras. Out of the box, everything is labeled very nicely. Wires have tags that tell you where they plug into, and the install directions are explained very clearly. So, first impressions are inviting. I plugged everything in my room just to check if everything worked, and to check recorder box. Once it all checked out, I was able to install the cameras outside. The wires were all 60 feet long which for my house was plenty. They sell extended wires on their site which is cool. Once I was able to really settle everything in place, I was able to get a good understanding of the software on both the box/monitor and the app on my phone. The UI on the monitor was bland, but very straight forward. That's fine because I care more about the ease of use than I do on how pretty it looks. The menus were straight forward and very intuitive to navigate. The resolution is 4k in the sense that the resolution size is 4k, but the actual quality of the image is just OK. It's a security camera... I'm not filming a blockbuster on it. Facial recognition is awesome, and at least the clarity is great. You can play with exposure and contrast, but they don't drastically change for the better. These cameras are leagues far above average securities cameras though so don't think that they're terrible or anything. The app is very good, and the notifications are great because you can change the sensitivity of what wakes up the camera. Which is great, because you can make it pretty relaxed or else you'll get notified whenever a leaf passes in view. I really do like the cameras, and I really do like my decision to get them.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good thing first, the quality of the image is amazing! The images and videos are very clear. The app is easy to use as well. Not so good...the cables! It was not difficult to install. My husband and I installed all the cameras by our self, but all those cables where a hassle. The hard work pays off!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Night Owl Wired Security System works flawlessly. The 60 foot cords fit hardwiring that are included were plenty for our application, but longer cords are available as well. The camera instillation was quick as we were able to run the wires outside on the walls. We do have previous experience, so that should be stated. Directions for in wall running of the cords were also included and quite thorough. Where these cameras really shine is the picture quality. Through the app you can check in from anywhere with wifi and see as if you were there. Less than 5 second lag time and alert notifications are helpful. There is no need for monthly plans and fees with the included hard drive. The human detection settings work well, but other things still occasionally trip the light. Overall it’s a great product and was exactly what we needed for keeping an eye remotely on our property.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Night Owl company is truly high quality stuff. Installation was pretty easy. We went with the wired cameras because our internet is awful. So now we don't have to worry about our cameras not working. This setup has excellent night vision. I was really impressed with the camera quality. I absolutely love that they have an app for your phone. Makes us all feel really secure living out in the country. If you're on the fence about this system I PROMISE you won't regret it!! Definitely worth the piece of mind.

Thank you so much for choosing Night Owl! We are happy you chose us to help keep you safe.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used to have wireless cameras and they would constantly give me issues or the batteries would need changing. I decided to go wired this time around. I have an attic, so the installation wasn't too hard at all. The app is easy to use. Now I have that peace of mind that I wanted while away from my home.
