Night Owl 12 Channel DVR Home Security Camera System - 8 Pack

This is replacing a 6-year-old Night Owl system. The firmware and user interface is much improved. Installation and setup is a lot smoother and easier. Camera mounting has been re-designed and is a huge improvement. I used to worry about Night Owl going out of business, but it is obvious that they are doing many improvements on their produce and are here to stay. Would I buy this product again? Well, I hope it is obvious, I DID buy it again. No regrets. As far as the system goes, I am very happy with the camera images. I just can't believe the night vision can be so good for this price. Finding and displaying old video is very straightforward. I was pleasantly surprised at the new sound recording ability. I got some good recordings of myself tweaking the camera positioning. Hopefully I won't get any recordings of crooks trying to break into my house but if I need them, I am sure they will be of good quality.

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.

Wrong order . Box not opened

one of my cameras does not work

The cameras are good quality but the app has a bunch of bugs, for one I turn off human detection and it keeps turning it back on. I get way too many notifications and can't shut the ones off I need

Don't waste your money on these cameras unless you want a lot of notifications of your tire's. Hardly records when there is human in front of the camera but send you back to back every minute on the minute notifications of insignificant things like a back bumper or a back tires . Not worth it find better cameras

I upgraded this system from c20x version because of the audio aspect. I thought you would be able to export all 8 hours(for example) to a usb drive like the c20x version.. NOPE Its only by events. You cant even select multiple events at a time. Its just one at a time. THIS IS A HUGE SOFTWARE FLAW! FIX THIS!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had my Night Owl 2K HD DVR Security System for about a month and I really like the sense of security, it gives me. This security set included 4 Cameras, which I set up on each side of my home and it also came with a 1TB DVR, so I can save a ton of recordings, without worrying about a monthly fee. Setting up this security system, was easy and only took around an hour to do so. I really love that I can connect this system, directly to my TV and have live access 24/7. There's also a mobile app that allows me to view live video, but I found the app to be a little more inconvenient, than it was convenient. I only had notifications set for Human and Vehicle detection, but I kept receiving multiple notifications a day for animals, clouds and shadows, being detected as humans. I still occasionally use the app, but I now have notifications turned off. Another issue I ran into is the siren feature. I was really excited about this feature! I could make people aware of the fact, that they were being recorded and being able to possibly prevent things from being taken from my property, was like a dream feature! Unfortunately, the siren was going off, all day and night, from any type of movement. The cameras are definitely great quality and I love that they're multi-functional. They come with built in spotlights, very clear 2-way Audio and beautiful clear videos, during both day and night! Even though I'm not very fond of the app and the siren wasn't what I'd hoped for. I'm very happy with my Night Owl Security System and the peace of mind, it gives my family and myself!

Been a night owl customer for years, upgraded every few years. This is our third system and very happy with it.

The cables are to short for 60 ft. I have to buy additional cables. They sell the 100 ft cables, they should put those in the package instead of the 60 ft.
