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.
Very complicated to set up and can't monitor it with my MacBook Pro have to use my iPhone. I was told I needed 4 new cameras because the old ones wouldn't work with the new system. I worked on whole day trying to replace the cameras without success so decided to try the old cameras and everything works fine.
Very good pairing with an alarm system. If I receive an alarm I can view what's transpiring at my home. I can also check for packages at my front door.
I would recommend this to a friend!

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.
I have been using Night Owl for some years now mostly outside. I have had no problems with cameras. I have a total of 8 cameras and watch these cameras as security for the complex I live in. I really love these cameras.
