Had to replace my original NVR because it crashed at a little over a year and a half old, just outside warranty. I like the system but really hope this unit lasts longer
Overall the system is nice excellent images but the app messes up a lot. The real problem is when you go to export video you can only export things that are labeled as an event with the new Bluetooth DVRs. The older systems you were able to export video from any time on the timeline. Night Owl needs to change this. If I would have known this I would have never bought this system.
I bought this a month ago and just got around to hooking it up in room. Have not run wires and cameras yet. System powered up without issue and all cameras worked. No issues with app on phone and images looked good. Hope to get the cameras mounted in next few weeks. Overall happy with unit.
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 had for about a week. Poe system, hard wires and instructions straight forward. Setting all the functions for the cameras has not been easy. (not a tech guy) All the instructions and videos were for the wiring, which was the easy part. No instructions or videos for all the camera settings. Web support not help again because it was all about initial set up. Did chat support and Ana F was very helpful .Did not provide phone number for tech support with set up guide, had to look it up. Still working on a few issues nut it's up and running.

Thank you for taking the time to review your product. We truly appreciate your feedback!
I’m a Do it yourself kinda of person and Night Owl created a NVrR that’s easy as 123 to set up for those choosing to set ur own security system, it’s plug and play can’t get no more simplier than that.
I would recommend this to a friend!
