[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These were relatively easy to install since I already had the wiring preexisting in my home. The directions were very well written and easy to understand. Installation took a few hours, but I was up and running in less time than I anticipated. The video is pretty crisp and impressive. So far, so good. We'll see how they work in the winter with the snow piling up and whether or not the views are obstructed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I highly recommend everyone have this system if your like me o like to travel but I also like to make sure my home is protected and secure and this security system made sure of that easy setup clear video I love it I told my immediate family and friends we all have precious items we need to make sure stay safe at home

[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.

I was expecting much more than my 5 year old system. My old system would record everything like bugs flying at night. In the south, your going to have lots of them. However, if you set this system to capture all motion, then any light change sets it off. The quality is not as good either. I was expecting alot more. I hope they do some updating.

We finally decided to get a video security system, we did the research among 6 different brands and we decided in getting the the 8 cameras kit but it has capacity to installed 8 more, We will probably get another couple of cameras later down the road. Pristine images and very convinut to monitor from their app. We are happy we choose Night Owl at the end

We just recently purchased a new DP2 system after owning an older model from this company for many years. It was super easy to swap out our existing model and could even use the previously installed wires! The old system actually still works great, we were just looking to upgrade and decided to stick with Night Owl because of the quality and affordability of their products. Glad we did!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was really excited to receive the Night Owl Surveillance system for 2 reasons. Firstly for securing our home and secondly to be able to see what critters are running around our backyard at night! My husband was very impressed with the value and quality of the system. The DVR has a 1TBHD and 16 channels, so you can add another 10 cameras in addition to the 6 that come with it, if you want to. All the camera cables and connectors come with, so you are ready to install. My husband said installation was straight forward, although crawling around the roof to install the wires was not fun and took several hours. He had seen some suggestions online to setup the DVR and install the Night Owl Protect app on his iPhone before installing the cameras so you can make sure they are all working and then use it to ensure they are correctly angled while installing, and it definitely helped. Once everything was set up on the DVR, it is easy to manage the system through his iPhone and he added me as a user too. The camera resolution is good, night vision extends close to 100ft and the built in spotlights are a great feature. I like that you can switch them off if you want. As mentioned before, this system is good value and perfect for our needs.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had these Night Owl 12 Channel 4K DVR with 1TB HDD and 4 x 4K Wired Light Cameras professionally installed for me so they were done right and as soon as they were up, I was instantly impressed with how easy the app was to set up and use (even for me) - I have an iPhone and the set up was very easy. The cameras are also great, I love the very bright spotlights, which add extra security. The cameras also have a very wide view so I can see so much more than with my previous cameras. I am purchasing another set, which will cover my entire property.

Can not set DVR to send a video clip of motion alert so if they steal your DVR you have nothing. Their app is terrible, I got an error that says invalid token, couldn't find on their manual or website, took like 30 minutes waiting on their help session to find "invalid token" really means it automatically signed me out and I needed to sign in. Why not show or say "sign in" instead of saying token. I just purchased and installed but I am now looking for a new one that works normal. Look for another manufacture, this is terrible.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've never owned a nightowl before so this is my first. I'm replacing a old cheaper brand that wasn't living up to what I needed. The 4k resolution system is amazing and so clear, and I mean sharp image of zoom ins! Now when I zoom in on a someone I can see their face real good, or see an object sharp and clear. I love the cameras with the spotlight that kicks on if anything gets in front of them and the night vision is sharp, I have been amazed all around with this system. It was easy to get activated and set up with plugging in some info, the cameras were easy to set up with running the cables to and from the system to cameras. This system is loaded with tons more than my old system, I'm blown away, its definitely the best system brand on the market for sure!
