Positives of this product are that the color and picture clarity is good. Easy to install, connects to both monitor and phone app. Negatives of this product is that video relay to screen is a little delayed and the wide angle distortion starts to far from the camera for our needs.

Good Luck

Zero support. They claim 9am-9pm phone support, call and 80% change you'll be on hold until after 9pm at which time it'll tell you the support line is closed. Chat support is useless. When I did get a hold of somebody, they had to "Escelate it to engineering," who never responded after requesting my receipt and photo of the device's serial number, which was provided. So frustrating, not worth it.

We’re very sorry to hear about your experience that’s definitely not the level of support we aim to provide.<br />We understand how frustrating it is to wait on hold and not receive a follow-up after your case was escalated. Our engineering team does review cases that require deeper investigation, but you should have received an update.<br />So we can help get this resolved, please reach out to our support team again via phone at (866) 390-1303 (9am–9pm EST, 7 days a week), or chat through our support site. If you’re open to it, you can also share your case details or contact information here, and we’ll help escalate this internally for a follow-up.<br />We appreciate your patience and the opportunity to make this right.

Look for other options. This is TRASH

Horrible. 6 months after purchasing our DVR failed. NightOwl replaced it with another broken DVR and isnt willing to do anything more. This was our second NightOwl product, last was great but this DVR was complete garbage. NightOwl customer service is also the absolute worst. Save your money.

Satisfied with purchase

The DVR is working great. Only have one negative comment. The unit supports 10 cameras. I am using 6. I cannot find a way to disable the other 4 unused cameras and they fill one third of the TV screen with unused blank camera spaces. Other than that a good security system.

These are garbage. Don't buy them. 2 years in, 4 of the cameras no longer work the DVR HDD is dead, and customer service is non responsive and not at all helpful. My cameras sound a voice alarm at random even though I have sound alerts turned off on each one. The app is garbage. Run the other way.

We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience, Karen. This is not the level of quality or support we aim to provide, and we understand how upsetting it is to have multiple components fail over time.<br />Camera alerts sounding unexpectedly, hard drive failure, and app issues are all things our technical team should be addressing with you directly, and we apologize if you’ve felt unheard. Even outside of initial purchase timelines, we want to review what’s happening with your system, including the DVR hard drive and camera alerts, to see what support options may still be available.<br />If you’re willing, we encourage you to contact our support team again so we can look into this more thoroughly and help resolve these issues as best we can.<br />– Night Owl SP Digital Support Team

Worthless Cameras

Night Owl cameras are horrible. There detection software says every movement is a person and that is only when they are detecting and sending info back to the DVR. Half the cameras just stop working for no reason and stop sending nay motion signals.

Hi Charles, we&#39;re sorry to hear about your experience. We understand how frustrating it is when motion detection isn&#39;t performing as expected and cameras appear to stop reporting events.<br />This is not the experience we want for our customers. Motion detection performance can be affected by camera placement, sensitivity settings, lighting conditions, and system configuration, but cameras should remain reliably connected and recording. We&#39;d like the opportunity to help troubleshoot the issues you&#39;re experiencing.<br />Please contact our support team through chat on the Night Owl Support Site or by phone so we can review your system settings and camera status in more detail. We appreciate your feedback and apologize for the inconvenience.

Unreliable

Looses internet connection repeatedly so I can’t see the cams on my phone. Called support they were useless and said it’s because I have my Bluetooth on… I’m an hour away from the store but ok sure it’s the Bluetooth that’s the problem. Dvr also looses color on one of the cameras and goes to black and white. Un plugging and plugging back in resolves both issues temporarily. Support said they were going to escalate it and call me back, that was 2 weeks ago. Joke of a system and app is horrendous, it’s like the app developers never used a cctv system before. When it works the live feed is alway unstable and constantly jumping freezing and reducing resolution. This is on wired Ethernet via Verizon fiber. Solid service totally the dvr fault. I’d give it no stars if I could.

Updates cancel security viewing

Bought one three years ago. Everytime we went to cottage for several months company would do an "update" and we lost mobile access until we could return "home" to do "update"? What good is a security system if you loose access when you need it while away. You would think the update could wait, but seems to not be the case with Night Owl.
