Doesn’t work with all their cameras

I have purchased two other night owl systems over the years and those systems came with two different camera models. The second system worked with the cameras that it came with (CM-DP8L-B) and the previous cameras (CM-C20XL-BU-JF) but this DVR does not work with the DP8L cameras.
Additionally, this DVD runs HOT!! Too hot to touch.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Good while it lasted

Purchased a DP8 series 12 Channel wired system. Sam's Club. Great clarity fairly easy to install. The android application was useless, after 6 months as it did not connect with my phone. Sadly the hard drive simply stopped operating after 19 months and warranty is only one year.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Good no frills system

Installation was super easy since I was upgrading from an older night owl system and used the same wires. DVR interface is really nice. I don't really care for the mobile app. It takes too many steps to get to the live view. Record sensitivity isn't as accurate as my old system did which is disappointing but overall it is satisfactory.

Night Owl 4k Security Cameras

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Night Owl 4k Security Cameras are pretty amazing. We love the clarity and that we are able to use thru wifi directly to our television as well as on our phones. They also track people as they come into view so you are able to monitor quickly. The dvr also has a 1 tb hard drive so it holds a ton of video for you to keep on hand just in case anything needs to be watched. As I said before such a great device and I would definitely recommend to all in need of a great Surveillance system!
I would recommend this to a friend!

4K is much Better!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I upgrade my old 8channel 1080p to the 4K... The quality is just like they stated! Vivid & much better, the field of view is wider also. Only negative is thde DVR doesnt have audio in like my old one; I only had one audio camera anyway. So, it was a good trade.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Horrible night vision and then some

I bought this system in late January (now mid March) all my cameras do is click now when it gets dark and then I get NO picture what so ever on those cameras! Extremely disappointed! Plus only records movement even though it shows option to record all the time, which I have on, and still only records when there’s movement!
Completely pointless to even have and a waste of money if I can see anything at night and record
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

have my unit in the garage. I will need cord extensions for the far side of the house (3 cameras). I have a difficult time adding my wife on her phone via night owl protector app, I have a difficult time retrieving my password to view the dvr from a monitor. Other than that great value and would recommend to anyone

Nice system with room to grow.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The setup for the night will 4k system is relatively easy. It comes with a generous length of coax for connecting the cameras. My favorite feature is the spot light built in for night time. I live in a very rural area, so it gets quite dark. Having the extra light is nice to have. The cameras themselves put out a great image that I can view on our tv or my phone. This is a great system to gain added security around your property. I plan on adding more cameras that extend to my shop on the back of the property.
I would recommend this to a friend!
