concerns about privacy and use outdoors

I was excited to buy this and I had electrical outlets installed in anticipation of this purchase. I wanted this system because it did not require an internet connection and the system was to be private. However during set up the system kept giving messages that manual set up was not recommended (as opposed to automatic set up using the internet). There was also a warning about lack of support and even voiding the warranty. It seemed as though the manufacturer really did not want me to set this up without giving them access to my wifi. During set up I had a problem with one of the cameras. It would pair but never showed video. After multiple attempts and NO support from the manufacturer, I eventually figured out that there is a reset button in the camera where the SD card can be added. Resetting and going through the set up again corrected the camera issue. And lastly the cameras were to be installed outside. While the cameras seem built for this (well insulted cords) the power supplies for the camera do not appear to be made for the outside. Very thin wire. I doubt the power supplies will hold up very long in the temperature extremes of the northeast US. One other note about the power supplies. They have a moderately sized black plug. I wanted to install two cameras on the same electrical outlet.and get an outlet cover to protect the power supplies. However it seems there are no outlet covers large enough to enclose two of these power supplies (I spent hours looking). Because of this I do not have all cameras in use as there is no way to plug them in and fit them inside an outlet cover. I may have to call an electrician to have my outdoor single gang outlets changed to double gang because of the shape of the power supplies. This has been quite frustrating. I would only recommend for those who plan to use this indoors only and are willing to connect the system to the internet. I am a disappointed buyer.

Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We understand your concerns and want to provide some clarification that may help.<br />The setup process is designed to use your Wi-Fi network during the initial connection to the NVR. After this first step, the cameras connect only to the secure Wi-Fi built into the NVR itself, so your system continues to operate privately without requiring ongoing access to your home network.<br />For manual setup, customers typically connect a monitor and mouse directly to the NVR, then discover and add the Wi-Fi cameras. We recognize that this process can feel less straightforward, and we’re sorry you experienced difficulties with one of the cameras before discovering the reset option.<br />Regarding power supplies: our cameras are outdoor-rated, but the included adapters are not designed to be left exposed. Many customers solve this by using weatherproof outlet covers, adding double-gang outlets, or using a power splitter to run multiple cameras from a single adapter. An electrician may also help identify the best option for your setup.<br />We’ll be sure to pass your feedback along to our product team as we continually work to improve installation and usability. - Night Owl Digital Support Team

I thought this system and was told the system would be able to send text to Phone when someone is at the camera un less I have missed it it does not . So if it does not I’m not very happy with the system most other security camera systems do

Camera works great, but

Camera works great, but disappointed that it only included a USB cable for charging, not the charger. Yes my phone charger works, but it's inconvenient not having one for the camera too.

Battery operated camera

Charged battery as recommended for 3 plus hours. Won't hold a charge for longer than three or four hours. Also, line in picture as if the lenses are cracked.

Cameras work as expected

I bought a pair of these cameras with extra batteries and the charger and all things seem to be working well. The whole system works in concert, I am pleased with the results.

works good.

I bought a couple weeks ago. Had to buy the extra batteries so it last a year with out recharging. Picture pretty good for wireless. Need 3 more to replace my plug in ones.

Camera review

I bought this roughly a month ago and so afar I have been very happy with the system. It has been easy to set up and get the cameras working. I do not have them all up yet but am working through them as I get the power run for each one.
