I bought this antenna extender, not knowing if it would really work. I was pleased that it did, solving my problem of a disrupted signal of the camera to the NVR. We resided our house, a few years back and many devices were effected by the steel siding. Everything is OK now.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thank you for being a Night Owl customer and for the feedback!
I purchased this a few weeks ago to replace a different system that we had. Easy to use somewhat easy to set up would’ve been easier if it came with instructions so you didn’t have to repeat some steps for installation. You have to pair the cameras before you can mount them where you want.

Thank you so much for the review and for choosing Night Owl.
Functions well but 9' is pretty short for this application. If you need more range having the expectation that changing the placement of an antenna by 9' and it solving your problem is only reasonable in a few very specific scenarios. I wonder if someone else sells an extension cord or something.

When using this antenna on the NVR itself I find no difference on the signal strength displayed on the monitor for my cameras that are 250 feet to 290 feet from the NVR. In fact my furthest camera from the NVR drops out when using the extender antenna. I have placed the antenna in multiple positions with no performance improvement. I have connected the extended antenna to my Shop Cam and found no improvement regards to performance. What I have found is that the orientation of the antennas that come with the NVR and cameras is critical to system performance on cameras located beyond 250 feet. Cameras located within the house parameters work excellent with the antennas provided with the system. I intend to try the external antenna on my camera located the furthest away from the NVR and see what happens. If there is an improvement I will have to MacGyver a housing for it since extender is for sheltered use only.

I bought my system just over a year ago worked great took me a while to figure out how to get it to record consistently sense I live in a crack head area of town.
Now to the 4 star rating somehow my system started to give me an error message on my 1 terabyte hhd drive then it completely deleted my hhd drive now I can’t get it to record a thing
This system is great for someone that prefers a wire-free system. The only drawback to this is the fact you can only have four wire free cameras for the DVR

The range of the blue tooth was very limited. Did not make it 50' out side of home with system set up on second floor. Also, it is required to be connected to the internet for even the phone also connected to blue tooth to monitor. It will record and one can hardwire via HDMI to a monitor, but not view on a connected smart device.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I’m so disappointed in this system. I haven’t had this product for a month yet and have consistently had problems with it not recording, keeping charged, trash app, etc… not worth the price.
My aunt has the same system and it works great for her, other than her charging issues. I guess it’s literally luck of the draw.
