Website states that theyre compatible. But cameras do not work. Hooked up older cameras to the Wires and they work fine. Had this problem with both cameras on 2 separate wires.
Setup via Bluetooth was amazingly easy. Also connected it to a TV screen later just for ease in reviewing all the camera recordings. Hookup to cameras easy, hookup to NVR easy, although I did two cameras one day, and the the other cameras later during the week. I found I had to reset the NVR occasionally during the process for the Android App to hook up. No problem, all cameras installed, all working and recording and I get alerts on my app. I can bring up the app while traveling and I can view all the cameras live and the recordings. The one problem is the PC Windows CMS program worked the first day and hasn't since, so I hooked up to a tv via HDMI. I called chatted with customer service about the CMS and they said engineering was working on it. We will see.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I originally purchased a 1080 system and had many issues hiring out the problems. Decided to go with the 4K Wireless. Terrible decision. Cameras communication is terrible. DVR software for playback is difficult and poorly designed. Speaking with technicians, most do not have any technical background except what's written in their predetermined script. I would not buy their system.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Unfortunately, Night Owl is not able to guarantee compatibility with any 3rd party brands. Often, cameras of the same technology will function with our systems, but we make no assurances. We can only ensure that our products will function with compatible Night Owl product. We apologize for any inconvenience.
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.

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.

Thank you for being a Night Owl customer and for the feedback!
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.
