[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got a week ago, this is so perfect even when the internet was off it clearly shown everything happening outside! We can watch all the corners of our house, our dog, visitors, and the car. Definitely recommend to anyone who asks and I show them how well it works. Only downside, The light stays on for some reason.. I think it's the indicator light but otherwise it's fantastic to have. The tough times we all have to deal with, I'm glad to have this security camera set up!
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was really excited to receive the Night Owl Surveillance system for 2 reasons. Firstly for securing our home and secondly to be able to see what critters are running around our backyard at night! My husband was very impressed with the value and quality of the system. The DVR has a 1TBHD and 16 channels, so you can add another 10 cameras in addition to the 6 that come with it, if you want to. All the camera cables and connectors come with, so you are ready to install. My husband said installation was straight forward, although crawling around the roof to install the wires was not fun and took several hours. He had seen some suggestions online to setup the DVR and install the Night Owl Protect app on his iPhone before installing the cameras so you can make sure they are all working and then use it to ensure they are correctly angled while installing, and it definitely helped. Once everything was set up on the DVR, it is easy to manage the system through his iPhone and he added me as a user too. The camera resolution is good, night vision extends close to 100ft and the built in spotlights are a great feature. I like that you can switch them off if you want. As mentioned before, this system is good value and perfect for our needs.

[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.

[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.

Really simple to operate

[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.
