[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I totally am in love with this night owl 4K security system. I got tired of relying on my internet connection to be able to save and stream my properties video feed. This is all on a 1TB hard drive and honestly it’s a very easy setup. Everything is wired. Each camera comes with ample length to run a connection to different areas of your house or property. So far the Apple app it pretty good. I have very fast internet so my stream is perfect remotely. I love the clarity and the spot light motion sensor. It makes getting a clear shot at night easy. So far I am loving this system and might upgrade for other cameras.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m so happy with how well the security system. Instillation was so easy. And with six cameras I was able to have all sides of my house covered. The clarity of the cameras is really clear so I am able to have peace of mind that if anything happens my family and I will be safe.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These focus cameras are excellent and I love them. They are easy to install and program in the application.I like the quality of the graphics, the two-way audio and the night vision. I recommend this product one hundred percent. I received this product for free in exchange for my honest opinion.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love everything about these cameras. They have alot of great features and works perfect. I love the fact that you can see who's approaching your house or business at night or messing around where they shouldn't. The motion sensors work great . These are made very well and works perfect. I highly recommend these cameras.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I picked up this Nightowl 12 channel security setup because we have been having people break into our sheds here, i got the 12 channel with 6 cameras for now so that i could add on more cameras at a later date if needed, everything seems to work very well, fairly easy to set up, hardest part about the hole install is running the wires but i did not want the wireless and have to deal with batteries going dead or losing signal, quality seems to be very good during the day, a little grainy at night, and also most of the time the cameras seem to be in real time for viewing, but i have noticed a few times there was a small delay from the camera to the dvr,the mobile app is a very nice touch because it lets you check the cameras from anywhere you are at from your mobile device,it should be noted that if you do not have a home internet connection (as a lot of people only have mobile devices) you can not use this system without being connected to the internet, it will show up the cameras and what not but if you click on any of them from the dvr it pops up with a message saying please connect it to the internet and try again, can not bring up whatever camera you want you just have to watch them all at once and not get the zoom features, but still a great setup that any homeowner can install if a few hours by themselves.i think it would of been a realy nice feature if the dvr had a couple spots for a couple wireless cameras just incase someone wanted to add a couple wireless ones in spots that you can not get to with wires.and also you could maybe sync it to your doorbell camera if it had the wireless hookup, making it that much easier to keep up with all your security devices.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It makes me feel great to buy a quality security system from an American-owned company. The cameras are bright, the visuals are crystal clear. The real-time alerts are extremely helpful and make me feel safe. As a single Mom, it's great to have peace of mind with the real-time alerts, clear pictures, easy installation and DVR, CCTV and the fact that there are no fees for the hard drive disk storage. It is so nice to have a complete system come in one box!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My current security system is a single camera so I have been looking for a good upgrade. When I had the opportunity to try the Night Owl 12 Channel 4K DP8 Series 2TB DVR system (comes with six cameras) I took it. Overall the system looks nice, has a clear picture, and was a pretty easy install if you don’t mind entering your attic. I do have a couple of issues that are more like personal opinions which I will address later.
In the box – The camera system basically comes with everything you will need for install with the exception of any junction boxes or wall plates you may wish to use. That said you get the DVR itself, six cameras, an HMDI cable, an RJ45 cable, a mouse, six 60’ rolls of camera cable, and the power adapters/splitters. Everything was well packaged to protect from damage.
Installation – While I will not go deep into details on my installation, suffice to say I installed mine at the tops of the walls where I wanted them and ran the cables through the soffits. The lengths of cable supplied should be sufficient for most homes if you plan out the install first. I chose to place the DVR in a central location in the house which just happened to coincide with the location of my router. I also decided to have the mouse and monitor (which you supply) located in another room. This was solved with a 32’ USB extension and a 50’ HDMI cable. As I am comfortable crawling through my attic the install was pretty easy, the hardest part was at the camera connections on the DVR as the screw on connectors are super close, but this could just be my big hands.
Use – The DVR displays several different formats for the camera layout and the controls for LED, motion recording, continuous recording ETC are intuitive. The camera quality is good even with my less than 4k monitor. The camera will switch to black and white in absence of a light source and the built in LED spot lights seem to work ok but the range seems to be best within around 40’ of the cameras. Personally I just leave the LED spotlights off as the black and white seems to work well enough for the two cameras that are not in light.
Final thoughts, this is an all around great camera system. If there are any drawbacks in my mind it is that the camera lack IR which nowadays is standard on most camera systems, and that the camera housings are plastic. My concern about the plastic housings is that where I live in Florida the sun seems to quickly destroy plastic, usually in a matter of a few years. Other than my couple of reservations this is a great product!
