It fulfills it purpose of being a completely wire free camera that you can place anywhere within the range of the wireless recorder. Good features and sensitivity, and the ability to "Speak" through the Camera speaker and "Listen" using the Mobile Application. One Caveat though is that while they say "Up to 6months of Battery life" that must have been in an empty room with zero "Triggers" on the camera, since I have this configure to only trigger on "Human" and "Face" and with 10-12 Triggers per day, the batteries only last 2 weeks before needing a recharge. However, knowing that was likely, I also bought the wall charger that comes with a spare set of batteries so that you can just swap the dead ones with the fresh ones and put the others back on the charger for the next time.

Best part of the camera, it's simple. Nothing complicated to do other than putting the batteries in an mounting it where you want. The whole system was really easy to put together and make everything work. I suggest put all the cameras and base together on your tv hdmi connection and router your network is on.This way you can insure everything works, pairs, adjusts, records, and scare people who don't know you have it on and hidden. The only thing I don't like, it's not 4k like the ones with my NVR. Didn't think I would complain about HD camera resolution, but 4k is blow'n 1080p away. Once you get everything paired, and it all works doing the items like brightness, recording, activating by movement, points where it should, then wait a day before using the cameras in the location you've picked.. . You can install and run the app while the system is connected to the tv. And let it run for 24 hours, for a on test to see what happens to everything before mounting it. Once the app is installed, and the phone is going to be used for controlling the system, you will have to reboot the box, for it to have the phone as primary controller. I put my cameras on a 2-3' wide board 10-12 inches long. This lets you aim the camera when holding the phone and aiming the camera for the best coverage.. Leave the cameras in place an go look using the tv. I did this with one screw holding the board to temp mount it. after watching it for hours, 3 of the 4 were moved several feet. Don't forget the power supply can't be left out in the weather, so get a 12v power cord that can reach it and tape up the connections. Put all your cables under cover to stay dry, then use a power strip or 2-6 way plug adapter. It was harder to place the 4k cameras than the add on. It came several days later. Install the batterys, it turns on itself, install to system with app, make sure everything works and camera starts recording and adjusts like it should, then go find a place to put it. I painted mine a camo brown, then put outside were no one would notice high up to get coverage of yard and house. It's been a week, still over 70% battery using 4 of them. This system, a bluetooth NVR with 1 TB drive and 4 cameras @4k resolution is really simple to use. The add on cameral, with batteries is idiot proof. If they were 4k, and used batteries like the one I have, it could be a kickass super simple setup to use and move around where ever you wanted.

I've only had both cameras for about 2 weeks now, but they are working well. I have both at a corner location of my garage and the receiver is about 100 ft away. I purchase the external charger with extra batteries so I just have to swap them out as needed.

Ok. So I bought 2 of these cameras. I didn't want to pay a subscription fee. I bought two micro sd cards 128gb to use for storeage and recording. I like the fact i can take pictures and they get saved to my gallery on my cell also the manual recording also goes to my gallery on my cell . Sofar 6 months I've had these cameras and they seem to work good. Sometimes a little behind but that could be my cell cause I have 1gb wifi and it is high speed. I also like the features that come with this camera. Was quik and easy to set. Came with 2 batteries each. I bought 4 more batteries and a charger cause 2 batteries don't last but 3 weeks if you use these cameras everyday for recording. Also I bought the solar panels so i wouldn't have to charge the batteries so often getting ready to connect them 2day. We'll see how they work out. The picture is very clear whether it's a recorded video,picture,or live. Just can't seem to figure out why sometimes the cameras are a little behind but all in all good cameras for the price.

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.

set up was fairtly simple but if your using a desktop set up its VERY limited on what you can do or adjust. they make you use the App.. fine but its VERY SLOW. video on day one as 10s slower then real time.. that's a LONG time when somebody is waiting at the door. or breaking it down. looking at past footage is clunky. not easy to select times, to view, and again its all on your tiny phone so cant see much.. you cant access the past footage on the desktop application. only phone... that should not be a hard fix for them. so what's the prob? and you have to pay for a advanced version of the app to access footage from ANYWHERE. or you can only use it when your in WIfi range.

Have been happy with my 8 camera, 110 powered wireless system. Not so much with the battery powered camera. Works well but battery life is horrible. Wish I had put up with another power cird. Getting rid of this battery unit

I just purchased these and I cannot connect them to my DVR and tech support says that these are older models so there isn't live support for them anymore. I personally like NightOwl systems and I wish that I was able to use these on my DVR setup.

I bought these cameras one month ago. One camera connected to my wifi with no problem. The other camera would not, in spite of multiple attempts. I contacted Night Owl support, both through chat and through email. Due to their lack of response, I returned the cameras.

I have been using 8 wireless camera system for several years. System picks up trees, grass, weeds and everything as human. I finely just turned off recording and notification for humans. No updates have made any improvements. my wireless solar camera will only record 7 seconds even though it is set for 30 seconds, it misses vehicles and object that are moving feet in front of the camera. 7 seconds max record time,(very poor, no updates for fix). lot of poor reviews for same issues I am experiencing. company should have corrected many of these report problems by now since these issues have existed for several years. I would not recommend this system until they correct known issues that have been reported by many users. fix solar camera time issue and keep recording as long as motion is seen, it normal cuts off while people or vehicles are detected and moving.
