Night owls is very great camera system I had a night owl camera for 8 years it's still working but am finna upgrade to wireless camera system I love night very clears pictures

I share the remaining of this email because it may be of value to others who are considering purchasing Night Owl Security products. I decided on purchasing Night Owl after observing my friends setup down the road. I purchased the WNVRC20 with four cameras. I live on a long and narrow acre of property. My garage (workshop/man cave) sits 135ft from the house. Two cameras are positioned in the house, one outside covering the backyard and entrance to my garage and the final one in my garage 135ft away. I positioned the NVR with double antennas at a window in the house facing the backyard and in direct line with my garage door window. I positioned the original Extender Antenna inside my garage at the garage door window hoping the signal from the NVR was strong enough to reach and give me a picture on my monitor in the house. It works! My back garage faces a road so you can see that I have been concerned about security. I now have Night Owl connections to my monitor, iPhone and computer. I spend six months in Michigan (Night Owl installation) and six months in Arizona. The additional Extender Antenna was connected to my outside camera so that I could position it correctly. The larger white antenna prevented me from getting the position I wanted.

I bought this antenna extender, not knowing if it would really work. I was pleased that it did, solving my problem of a disrupted signal of the camera to the NVR. We resided our house, a few years back and many devices were effected by the steel siding. Everything is OK now.

I installed a Night Owl 8 camera system just over a year ago in my "Doghouse". That's my air conditioned shop where we play music weekly ( and yes sometimes weakly). Only 4 cameras worked all the time. After ordering 2 more antennas (one for base unit and one for camera) all 8 function well. My doghouse is a 40'x50' metal building so wireless range is reduced. 3 cameras that would seldom work (mounted outside) now work with antenna inside hooked to outside cameras. 2 others that would work sporadically, now work consistently, since base unit has one antenna outside Doghouse.

If I put the cameras on the outside of the building with the WIFI, but leave these long-wired antennas inside the building, they work great. However, the only camera that's outside the building, even with the amplifier and the long antenna, still doesn't work. It's a metal building, so there's nothing I can do about it.

I purchased this a few weeks ago to replace a different system that we had. Easy to use somewhat easy to set up would’ve been easier if it came with instructions so you didn’t have to repeat some steps for installation. You have to pair the cameras before you can mount them where you want.

To be totally honest, it's been touch and go. I r&I'd the antenna about a week and a half ago. At first it had trouble marrying the base unit. It lasted until a thunderstorm hit. The signal came back with no adjustments in about 6 hours. Overall, a few hiccups. My only option, I'll keep it.

When using this antenna on the NVR itself I find no difference on the signal strength displayed on the monitor for my cameras that are 250 feet to 290 feet from the NVR. In fact my furthest camera from the NVR drops out when using the extender antenna. I have placed the antenna in multiple positions with no performance improvement. I have connected the extended antenna to my Shop Cam and found no improvement regards to performance. What I have found is that the orientation of the antennas that come with the NVR and cameras is critical to system performance on cameras located beyond 250 feet. Cameras located within the house parameters work excellent with the antennas provided with the system. I intend to try the external antenna on my camera located the furthest away from the NVR and see what happens. If there is an improvement I will have to MacGyver a housing for it since extender is for sheltered use only.

I bought this 10 Channel 4K NVR and 6 Wi-Fi Cameras a few weeks ago. I also bought and add-on doorbell (WM-2DBWNPM). I am disappointed that the doorbell will not connect to the NVR as stated online. Overall, the system works as it should. Very nice clear picture.
