[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So.. .a long story made as short as possible. This is my husband's and I first ever camera for ho e security either outdoor or indoor. 12 Channel 4K DVR with 1 TB HDD and 4 x 4K Wired Light Cameras is the system that we set up. It is most definitely not as hard as we made it to set up. The fact is him and I can't even make a ham sandwich together LoL. Anyways it's a pretty cool system. Almost easy to install (depending on who you have help you), very easy to use after installation, and quite cool. I mostly use it to watch the wildlife in my yard at night or daytime and it's quite easy....actually I spend far too much time wating what these cameras show me. And I know it's probably not relevant but my favorite things to watch on the dvr is this Coopers Hawk I named Nancy and these two Great Horned Owls (no names for them!) Who are natural enemies. I love the detail and colors of the videos from the dvr I get to watch of what goes on and is happening on my property. And it's so easy to access the cameras feed!
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this system about a month ago and the weather was perfect for installation. I have to admit that I had a previous system that was another brand that was no longer working. Having that system allowed me to switch the lines really easily and replace the cameras. So set up for me was only about 1.5 hours. That being said, if you had to run all new lines and set it up from the start shouldn’t take you more than a couple hours. It is super easy and the step by step directions walk you through it. I quickly learned this system is much better than my previous system. Not to mention my other system did not have an app to use my phone with. The quality of the video are much better. I travel a lot for work and this system give me the freedom to be out there knowing my family is safe and I can access it from anywhere I am. Super excited to have this and would recommend to anyone looking for a security system like this.

Great setup, easy install

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Installed this using an existing PoE system by purchasing some adapters and it’s working great. I didn’t want to piecemeal a PoE setup together like I had originally done at our house so now I have the DVR and cameras all working together and it’s a game changer.
I would recommend this to a friend!

After 3 years of owning the Q-See security camera system, I am finally tossing it in the trash after buying a Night Qwl DP2-161-4L system. Q-See was impossible to set up, could never get it connected to my internet, never could view the cameras on my t.v., and customer service was non-existent. I wasted hours trying to get it working correctly. This past October I bought a new Q-See DVR and it never worked properly and I am still waiting on an e-mail message that I sent them 3 weeks ago. I am done with that company.
Two nights ago I bought the Night Owl DP2-161-4L and tonight I decided to try setting it up and it was basically flawless.
I followed the layout work instructions, downloaded the Night Owl Protect app to my S8 phone, scanned the DVR code, and it set itself up on my phone fairly easy.
The only setback that I had is I completed the firmware update and I had to work through a few extra steps to get my phone set back up. Once I completed this I had to access the visual on my t.v. and go to DVR menu, Maintain, System, and select "Reset Default". Once this was done, the system reset itself. I then logged into my account and reset all the choices that I made before the firmware update. I then went to my phone app and re-scanned my DVR, and the system reset itself and I had connectivity again.
I can hardly believe how easy the Night Owl system is compared to Q-See. Never again, I am staying with Night Owl. Thanks!

Great System

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m pleasantly surprised by how easy this was to set up. The fact that it is a wired system had me worried but with the help of someone that’s handy, it was pretty easy! Plus side, it’s more reliable than a wireless system. The image is sharp and clear. The app was easy to navigate. I was a little disappointed that the cameras were plastic but that’s just a small con. I still give this system 5 stars!!

Thank you for the review. Glad to hear the system was easy for you to get set up. The polycarbon cameras are better for installation, as they are lighter weight and mount better to a variety of surfaces. They have the same weatherproof rating, durability and warranty as our metal housed cameras so no need to worry there. Thank you again for the review!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I get this system here because of the reviews I was hearing about them . And I am very happy with them . Itnwas very easy to set up and the cameras have the clearest pictures and the spotlight is so bright by the second night we knew who or what was messing around our yard . It wasnt the monsters my kids thought it was . The spotlight blinded the whole little family of racoons . That was making so much noise
. The pictures are so clear . This is so easy to set and Like that alarms are.sent straight to my phone and I can see what is happening at my home when Im not there

I love knowing how safe I am!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using the Night Owl spotlight cameras now for about 2 months. First and foremost, the packaging was amazing and made putting together a breeze! At first I was a little overwhelmed thinking I would have to wait till my husband got home, but no, I was thrilled to know I was able to set everything up before he got home, but had him do the wiring.
Once I had everything unboxed and set-up, it was tine to syce to the app! This process was very impressive! It was very easy to create my account, and syce the 6 cameras, just like that! I will mention, using the ethernet for setup, makes it go quick.
Now onto the wiring which my hubby and I, did together! This process was just a easy as all the other steps. I'm still very impressed with the easy set-up and install of these night owl cameras.
If you have any trouble at all, Night Owl has very detailed and easy to follow videos for you to follow.
Now back to the wiring of the camera, we was happy with how overall quick and easy to follow instructions this made for us.
The wiring was very thick and perfect for protection, and with a screw you have your cameras all setup and all protected. I loved the simple turn connection for the hookups to the DVR and the camera.
Once all those steps were all done it was time to look at the cameras all setup. I couldn't be any happier with the detailed view. The picture was absolutely incredible both on my tv and phone app. Both day time and night time, was very nice to see how clear and safe we are now.
The app gives me alerts when I need and doesn't over do it, with useless notifications. The night owl has made my family and I feel so safe and we have been so blessed to know they protect us and lets us know of any danger we need to see. We are so thankful knowing we have some safety at out home. We love the app, we love the picture of the cameras and we loved the easy set-up. We definitely recommend night owl security cameras for your protection. You won't be disappointed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent high quality security camera system. Easy setup process that toke me about 25 minutes to complete. Each cameras are well made and looks like it will last me a long time. Looks very slick and easy to mount. Picture quality is superb. You could see great details even when zooming in. The 2tb DVR is a major plus. No need to pay extra for any outside service to provide recording.
