Nice features for the price

Ok. So I bought 2 of these cameras. I didn't want to pay a subscription fee. I bought two micro sd cards 128gb to use for storeage and recording. I like the fact i can take pictures and they get saved to my gallery on my cell also the manual recording also goes to my gallery on my cell . Sofar 6 months I've had these cameras and they seem to work good. Sometimes a little behind but that could be my cell cause I have 1gb wifi and it is high speed. I also like the features that come with this camera. Was quik and easy to set. Came with 2 batteries each. I bought 4 more batteries and a charger cause 2 batteries don't last but 3 weeks if you use these cameras everyday for recording. Also I bought the solar panels so i wouldn't have to charge the batteries so often getting ready to connect them 2day. We'll see how they work out. The picture is very clear whether it's a recorded video,picture,or live. Just can't seem to figure out why sometimes the cameras are a little behind but all in all good cameras for the price.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thank you for your detailed review. We’re glad to hear you’re enjoying the picture quality, features, and subscription-free recording, and that setup was quick and easy. Battery-powered cameras can experience slight delays at times due to network conditions, but it’s great to hear overall performance has been solid. We appreciate you sharing your experience and hope the solar panels make things even more convenient moving forward.

Still Mediocre image recognition

Had ten of these cameras for several years, and image recognition algorithms are terrible. Dogs, cats, opossum, Tree shadows, alert as "human". And FOV blanking in "Activity Zone" does NOT WORK.

Poor battery performance

The NightOwl battery camera battery life is very poor and doesn't come close to their advertised battery performance. Even with 4 batteries each camera and no recording settings the battery life doesn't come close to their marketing. Just be prepared to charge the batteries and have surplus batteries on hand while charging or stay away from these and install wired cameras.

We appreciate your feedback and understand your concerns regarding battery life. Battery performance can vary depending on factors such as installation location, the amount of motion activity, and temperature conditions. Higher traffic areas and extreme temperatures can cause batteries to drain faster than expected. To help extend battery life, we offer solar panel attachments that provide continuous charging and reduce the need for manual recharging. If you have any questions or need assistance optimizing your setup, feel free to reach out to our support team at Night Owl Support.

Best of the legacy cameras

The 140 ultra wide angle view is far superior to the standard 80, especially if you are monitoring the sidewalk and street outside your building. The latter is useful indoors, but I would choose all ultra wides for anything outdoors.

I bought this camera to add onto my system. For some reason it loses its signal at least once a day. Not sure why

Solid value for the money.

I bought this system after my last one was stolen, and was pleasantly surprised at how far security camera systems have improved. The picture on these 1080 cameras is excellent, set up was fairly easy. While the basic wifi camera has a decent angle, I much prefer the ultra wide angle camera for covering a much larger area. While this system is refurbished, I didn't notice a lack of quality, everything looked brand new. There was one problem, the HDMI outlet failed after 2 days of operation, and I was instructed to return the DVR. While it took almost 10 days to confirm my warrantee, it took even longer for Nightowl to email the return postage label. Once they recieved the damaged unit, they turned around and sent a replacement, which arrived quickly, and in good shape. I spent another 6 hours trying to remount the system, online with Night Owl agents directing. FYI, you MUST remove all your cameras and place them next to the DVR to sync them up, the DVR will not be able to find your cameras otherwise. Also, you MUST delete the previous DVR icon from the remote app before mounting the new one. This information was not known by every agent, just Thomas (so ask for him, and save yourself the headaches). Also, If you find the spotlights annoying, you can easily turn them off. My only complaint is that I wish the cameras could tilt and pan easily, but the mounting bracket is very limited, so the cameras can't be pointed in any direction easily. Otherwise I'm very satisfied with this system, it's so much better than what it replaced, and I plan to add another refurbished wide angle camera soon.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I should have bought a wired system. They are continually dropping the signal then coming back at random. I have the Night Owl DVR that came with 8 cameras. I bought these last two to complete the system. The picture quality is great. However, all 10 cameras drop the signal at random. This makes the "security" cameras not so secure. It is not a range problem. The one that drops the most is less than 15 feet from the DVR. As I am typing this 3 out of the 10 cameras are offline. The monitor says "no signal".
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
