Stopped working after two months

I bought the 12 channel dvr thinking it would last me at least a couple years but instead it only lasted a couple of months. It says they have “on demand” customer support but every time I try to call they hang on before I can get to a representative. Stay away from these cheap products. I paid about 750 for this and two months later it’s trash.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Bought after a friend recommended. Wish I had waited for this special so I could have got the doorbell too. Good system so far and setup was easy enough.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Ability to add wifi cams

I have been using Night Owl security systems for 15 years.
My first unit was a 8 camera wired dvr, my second was a 16 a camera wired unit.
This is my third unit, a 16 camera wired unit with the option to add four additional wifi cameras. I hope that it performs as well as the first two, my only worry is that it runs hot as it does not have an internal fan as my first two systems did.
This may shorten the lifespan of the unit.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great image quality

My older model NightOwl crashed (way past the warranty) and this was the closest model suggested as a replacement/upgrade. Luckily, the wires and BNC connectors from my older system and cameras were compatible, and I didn't have to rerun the wires through the attic for the entire system. I just replaced the DVR and cameras, and it works like a charm. And the Bluetooth setup was very simple.

As mentioned, the image quality of these cameras is amazing. Day and night images are crisp and clear. The motion sensitivity to trigger recordings is way beyond the 100ft as advertised, even at night.
I almost couldn't give it the full 5 stars because of minor things that have NO effect on how well the system works, but it's still enough to mention here. The pre-recorded message scares the bajeezus out of everyone, which is awesome. But, it's not a clear message and it's rather garbled. I understand it's really small speakers in the camera, but my cell phone sounds better with smaller speakers. Also, while the spotlight works great, I've found no way to set it so it doesn't activate during daylight hours. You would think since the cameras switch to night mode at sunset, the spotlight could tell the difference between night and day.
Like I said, neither of those items are deal breakers. I am very happy with my upgrade, especially with the vast improvement in image quality. With the price point on this system, you cannot go wrong. Especially with no monthly fee, plus I can access my cameras and recordings from anywhere.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this to replace my THD system when it's Hard Drive failed. Night Owl Marketing was great in providing a compatible system that didn't require that I replace all my old cameras. Simply unplugged the old and plugged in the new using the same connections.
I would recommend this to a friend!
