Glitchy

This camera works yes but is a let down since it has glitches and could use a spotlight as well as battery backup for power outages.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Top Feats: Easy Set-up, No Subsciptions or Cloud
on July 15, 2025
Posted by: EzeeDuhzIt
from New Mexico
Gender:Male
Ease of set-up: 5 stars, the app makes it easy, haven't tried the monitor and keyboard configuration
Storage: 5 stars, no subscription, no cloud. 1TB seems to be plenty of room; two months in and I still have over 900GB of space.
Quality: 1080p, looks good on the phone. Haven't verified on a dedicated monitor.
Motion detection: 2 stars, needs work. Cameras/system unable to truly differentiate between a person or cars. Cameras will record regardless what it detects.
Recording: 3 stars - cameras/ System takes too long to start recording. A delivery person detected will already be walking away from the front door area before the recording kicks in; this is like a 4-6 second delay.
Battery: .5 stars - definitely not as advertised. This is the biggest disappointment. The batteries supplied (2 for each camera) lasted about 1 month, on full charge, before needing to be recharged; even with the spotlight feature turned off. Purchased additional batteries to be able to install 4 batteries in each camera, and the time before recharge seems to increased to two months, less time on my front door camera due to increased activity.
Overall option: An okay camera system of people looking for value and getting used to setting up their first system. Wireless is a good option users in rental properties where drilling through walls for wires or where power access is limited or not allowed. Person/car detection needs work; record delay needs to be improved.

Mediocre Image recognition
on December 5, 2024
Posted by: HWB1
from Texas
I've had 2 of these systems for over 2 years. The image recognition algorithms send notifications on: tree branch shadows, squirrels, cats, dogs, and other
animals as Human" notifications. "Activity" zone settings are useless , as I continue to get notifications from images anywhere in the camera FOV. NO tweaking to sensitivity or other settings help eliminate erroneous image notifications.
Engineering needs to make lots of improvements to the image recognition algorithms.

Night Owl has build a Great Product

Last Year, I used to complain a lot about this wireless system. I understood it was a new product. I knew that as with any new product, it may bring many bugs and issues. I still own the product, and I have witnessed all the improvements Night Owl has made to it.
Today, I am glad to share how well my cameras perform after the great firmware updates Night Owl is constantly releasing, and the quality, clarity, and excellent performance this product offers. I recommend this system, and I look forward to the products Night Owl will have in the future.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Im not great with electronics. This is simple simple simple. I plugged it in, hung them up and was done inside of 20mins. Going to take some fine tuning, but, not much.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Poor Quality
on December 20, 2023
Posted by: Ken0107
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.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I would like to return this system.
I am disappointed that it will not let me make the adjustments that it said I can. Even thought it took my security password.
This is the 4th or 3rdrd system I have had and would like to go back to a hard wired system. I have always like my night owl system in the past, but this one I am disappointed in. I have just received it a week ago and would like to return it for a hard wired one.
