Night Owl 2-Way Audio 12 Channel DVR Security System with 2TB Hard Drive and 4 Wired 2K Deterrence Cameras

Have not had it installed as of yet, was recommended by family and friends who had experience with this system, was told it was a good system

I bought this to replace my old nightowl system and wholly crap!! This system and the new app are sweet! Cameras are clear and I can now read license plates with ease! I'm still stund at the clarity of these cameras and the distance they reach! Thanks again nightowl !!

My older model NightOwl crashed (way past the warranty) and this was the closest model suggested as a replacement/upgrade. Luckily, the wires and BNC connectors from my older system and cameras were compatible, and I didn't have to rerun the wires through the attic for the entire system. I just replaced the DVR and cameras, and it works like a charm. And the Bluetooth setup was very simple. As mentioned, the image quality of these cameras is amazing. Day and night images are crisp and clear. The motion sensitivity to trigger recordings is way beyond the 100ft as advertised, even at night. I almost couldn't give it the full 5 stars because of minor things that have NO effect on how well the system works, but it's still enough to mention here. The pre-recorded message scares the bajeezus out of everyone, which is awesome. But, it's not a clear message and it's rather garbled. I understand it's really small speakers in the camera, but my cell phone sounds better with smaller speakers. Also, while the spotlight works great, I've found no way to set it so it doesn't activate during daylight hours. You would think since the cameras switch to night mode at sunset, the spotlight could tell the difference between night and day. Like I said, neither of those items are deal breakers. I am very happy with my upgrade, especially with the vast improvement in image quality. With the price point on this system, you cannot go wrong. Especially with no monthly fee, plus I can access my cameras and recordings from anywhere.

This Is My 2nd Night Owl System. I Live In The Sticker Patch Where Temperatures Reach Over 110 Degrees In The Shade, My First System Has Worked Flawlessly For Over 6 Years 24/7/365. I Bought The 2nd 8 Channel System To Replace My Aging 4 Channel System.

I have had the system for about 3 weeks now. This is my 3rd Night Owl system I have purchased. The picture quality is great for the price point. I can’t speak to the longevity yet. Hopefully this will last as long as the last system. The app could use a little work as sometimes I have to back out and reboot the app to get it to respond. Overall I am very pleased

CAMERAS ARE JUST GREAT-CONNECTING TO THE INTERNET NOT SO GREAT. I HAVE SEVERAL SYSTEMS AND NIGHT OWL CANNOT BE BEAT. JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER! THE SPOT LIGHT IS A GREAT IDEA TOO! I TRIED CONNECTING TO THE INTERNET AND JUST GAVE UP. I'LL WORK WITHOUT IT AND BE OKAY, IF I DO HAVE ANY PROBLEMS DOWN THE ROAD, I'LL GET MY GRANDSON TO CONNECT IT !

I needed a security camera system that would provide me with local storage in case of internet outage. This system provided what I was looking for. The wired installation was also easy to install and provided me with not needing a/c or battery power at each location.

I purchased this camera system since my current system's DVR stopped recording after 5 years of service. I am very pleased with this new system and all of the included features as well as the great video quality. The tech service department was very helpful with assisting me regarding all of my questions and concerns.

I have been using Night Owl security systems for 15 years. My first unit was a 8 camera wired dvr, my second was a 16 a camera wired unit. This is my third unit, a 16 camera wired unit with the option to add four additional wifi cameras. I hope that it performs as well as the first two, my only worry is that it runs hot as it does not have an internal fan as my first two systems did. This may shorten the lifespan of the unit.

Very complicated to set up and can't monitor it with my MacBook Pro have to use my iPhone. I was told I needed 4 new cameras because the old ones wouldn't work with the new system. I worked on whole day trying to replace the cameras without success so decided to try the old cameras and everything works fine.
