Purchased in November 2022 and have had nothing but connectivity and poor performance for 13 months. Cameras rarely stay connected even 1 room away let alone the other side of the house. The app is super unreliable and often unusuable.
Product easy to install. Set up was simple. Clarity is top notch. Over all very very happy with system. One minor issue, they go off non stop at first. This took a fair amount of time getting the settings right. Only other thing I would ask for is a way to shut them down for the work day easy. Meaning unlock, open app, disarm. at night the reverse
I bought this roughly a month ago and so afar I have been very happy with the system. It has been easy to set up and get the cameras working. I do not have them all up yet but am working through them as I get the power run for each one.
It didn't work for me. In fact, I'm now a few steps backwards. First, it may work as an augmentation at the camera side of things. I could not use to for that purpose as the newer cameras have no antenna port. Second, don't bother trying to augment signal strength at the NVR. It simply didn't work for me. In fact, I seem to lose signal initially. Third, trying to go back to the standard antenna configuration was a big setback, where I'm not re-establishing all my camera connections to get back to my initial performance. I like the Night Owl products. Been using them for a few years now. Highly recommend. Service/support should be a learning opportunity for both the customer and the company. I can learn what I did wrong and how to approach the product successfully. The company can learn what the customer is misunderstanding or if there is a glitch in the product and when it shows up. Let's do better.
Night owls is very great camera system I had a night owl camera for 8 years it’s still working but am finna upgrade to wireless camera system I love night very clears pictures
This is the second Night Owl System I have purchased we installed this system last week and everything was going well until today when one of the cameras spotlights stopped working and one of the power supplies on one of the other cameras every other day has to be unplugged for several minutes and plugged back in to re-connect
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very easy setup, programming it was a little difficult, the time line your allowed and selection of camera functions ie light voice siren don’t seem to work together. Set an alarm and doesn’t matter the time, they go off. Seems like you could set program to have alarms only or by selections of other choices thru time. Otherwise so far a nice addition, every now and then I have a camera or two drop off, but they seem to come back with a reboot, or reset of the camera power cord.
I bought the antenna about a month back to help with signal from a couple cameras that kept dropping signal. 8" log walls were interfering with the signal, attached to the Wi-Fi NVR and have nearly zero dropped signal. It helped.
