[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had just moved into a new house and a new to us neighborhood where we don’t know our neighbors well or what goes on around here especially when we aren’t home. My husband and I decided to hook up this security system with 4 cameras. It was easy to install and easy to download onto our phones. It is easy to set up from your mobile device. I like that it has a 2 way radio for you to listen or talk. I also like the spotlight feature and that the video is in full color. Another good feature is that you get voice alerts or you can send out a warning to unwanted guests. Everything is nice and convenient and we feel a lot safer knowing who is on or near our property. I definitely recommend this product to others.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was perfect to install to keep an eye on the house, much cheaper than what we had before. Easy to install, clear instructions. Decent camera quality and I love, love the audio feature. App is easy to use. I love to watch my dog when I'm at work.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had my Night Owl 2K HD DVR Security System for about a month and I really like the sense of security, it gives me. This security set included 4 Cameras, which I set up on each side of my home and it also came with a 1TB DVR, so I can save a ton of recordings, without worrying about a monthly fee. Setting up this security system, was easy and only took around an hour to do so. I really love that I can connect this system, directly to my TV and have live access 24/7. There's also a mobile app that allows me to view live video, but I found the app to be a little more inconvenient, than it was convenient. I only had notifications set for Human and Vehicle detection, but I kept receiving multiple notifications a day for animals, clouds and shadows, being detected as humans. I still occasionally use the app, but I now have notifications turned off. Another issue I ran into is the siren feature. I was really excited about this feature! I could make people aware of the fact, that they were being recorded and being able to possibly prevent things from being taken from my property, was like a dream feature! Unfortunately, the siren was going off, all day and night, from any type of movement. The cameras are definitely great quality and I love that they're multi-functional. They come with built in spotlights, very clear 2-way Audio and beautiful clear videos, during both day and night! Even though I'm not very fond of the app and the siren wasn't what I'd hoped for. I'm very happy with my Night Owl Security System and the peace of mind, it gives my family and myself!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This video camera security system has been pretty nice so far. Out of the box, it seemed like it should be pretty easy to set up once I determine how I'd place my cameras.
This is a wired system, meaning you must run wires to/from each camera to its main hub. I do wish there was a wireless option since I don't want to run wires all around my home. This limited me in where I'd place my cameras. It is nice that they provide the harnesses for the plugs so you can tie it all into one plug. I was able to network the main hub into my router. It was a little difficult getting things to connect and sync with the app on my phone. After a few tries I was connected.
I do feel the cameras are a little lacking in the viewing space. They should be more of a wide angle view because when you mount these, there are blind spots below and to the sides of the camera. This was a little disappointing as I couldn't get a full view of my driveway and garage. Other than that, the camera quality is good, picks up sound and motion like you want with a security system.
I'd recommend this to someone who was fine running wires, I feel it may be more suited for a business than a home but it is adequate for either. I'd like to see the option to add wireless cameras to reduce running wires thru walls and such. Overall it does the job and I have been happy with it since installing.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This 2-Way Audio 12 Channel DVR Security System was a little daunting for the technologically challenged, but I followed the directions and highly recommend! It is easy to use and love the security and ease of mind. I’m also enjoying seeing the night life around me.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Now that I've got this system set up and running, I needed help from my son-in-law, I love it. We have 4 cameras, which cover views from all around our house. I love that I can view these from anywhere, I can also add anyone I want to help me monitor the house if we are busy and unable. Also has a button you can push on the app that makes the camera say you are being recorded, it can also flash lights. Great way to let unwelcome visitors know they aren't welcome. We are still learning all we are able to do with this system. Happy to have it. Definitely helps our family feel more secure. Also if we ever have porch pirates, it would be nice to catch them. That's a nice feeling.

My husband works night shift every two weeks. We needed a system that was easy to operate, reliable, and clear. This system is all three. Now, I have peace of mind that I didn’t have before.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This system is just what I needed. There has been a lot of South American gangs targeting my area and this allows me to sleep at night. Wit four cameras I can see every corner of my home. The Hard Drive lets me record all activity.
