I have had my Lorex system for about two and a half years now, and I had to replace four cameras due to the mounts and arms breaking. The DVR is great, but cameras are expensive. I do install camera systems for my customers, and now I can no longer recommend Lorex systems. The Night Owl system is a great system, the only thing I do not like is most of the programing and set up is done through the app.
The cameras work really great. The system is easy to setup. This is the third system that I purchased from night owl and they all are still working great.
I owned one of this for five years now, the system works really well and setting up was very easy. My wife has the app on her phone which served useful. The DVR is starting to go bad, I swapped the hard drive and tried a new camera, still does not work. I will order a new DVR.
Machine is great and easy to setup. The app is not easy to setup also would like to see the app available for smart tv so the view is large. When interface the phone to tgg by e tv the pi’s is small like on the phone
I upgraded this system from c20x version because of the audio aspect. I thought you would be able to export all 8 hours(for example) to a usb drive like the c20x version.. NOPE Its only by events. You cant even select multiple events at a time. Its just one at a time. THIS IS A HUGE SOFTWARE FLAW! FIX THIS!
In the beginning of trying to find the best system was difficult. Trying to find which one would best suit me but also be affordable. I'm now on my 3rd night owl system at my house. I've had cameras on my house now for 10 years. So I've had to upgrade a few times but that's the only reason I've gone through 3 systems. I'm currently in the process of buying my first wireless system for my business. If I could give 10 stars I would every time they bring out something new is top of the line. All the add on parts make night owl unbeatable. I would recommend night owl to everyone if it's where you just want one camera to only see a live view to having 18 cameras inside and outside of your home or business.
