I am glad I purchased the Night Owl security set. After researching a dozen other systems, and meticulously reading all the features and pros/cons (and taking advantage of the holiday discount), I new this was the right choice. I had a friend help with the wired install (with 6 cameras with light and voice) took a good part of a whole day), and after loading the app was in business! Next is the doorbell.
Also, I had a question on the shipment and Night Owl answered my email within 2 hours! Now that's service.
I had the old night owl system which work well however the app never worked for me l. This new system os great the app, the pop on the screen. Im glad to have it.
I bought a little over a month ago and had to wait to give a review after using. These cameras and system is exactly what I was hoping for. My live streams are extremely clear..and night vision is good so far . Playbacks are great ! Easy to install!
I purchased this camera system since my current system's DVR stopped recording after 5 years of service. I am very pleased with this new system and all of the included features as well as the great video quality. The tech service department was very helpful with assisting me regarding all of my questions and concerns.
Turned out I didn't need it! This is my 4th Night Owl system. Each generation gets easier to set-up. I upgraded to add doorbells thinking I would need a wi-fi recorder. Thought I would like the spotlight cameras, but the spotlight comes on a lot without any motion or objects in view, tried every setting available but still on off randomly. Not a lot of adjustability (like sensitivity) as before. It is geared to use the phone app, some settings are not available on the recorder display. I have a 50" TV on my home office wall displaying 8 cameras and wanted to add doorbells and get push notifications when someone rings the doorbell, I bought 2 doorbell cameras but when I add them to the recorder in the app the notification option for pressing the door bell goes away. Also get constant false notifications when added to the recorder, turned off vehicle and motion, left on human/ face detection but still got constant false notifications. Uninstalled them from the recorder and just added them to the app only with just notify if the doorbell is pushed and don't get any false notifications. Haven't tested the other settings installed this way but I have wired cameras covering the area already, just wanted notifications when someone rings my doorbells. If I knew this I could have just installed the doorbells and kept my old system. For most people or first time buyers, this system would be easier to self install and set-up than previous recorders, phone app is adequate and younger would probably prefer the phone app, but for me I miss the more detailed adjustments.
