Night Owl 2-Way Audio 12 Channel DVR Security System with 2TB Hard Drive and 8 Wired 2K Deterrence Cameras

Night Owl is the best

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 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 bought this about 2 weeks ago to replace a NightOwl system that was several years old and the cameras stopped working. 6 cameras are nice and the added feature of adding 4 wireless cameras is a nice plus. The new cameras have one drawback, namely they are hard to position; they do not have the mobility of the previous cameras. In order to get an upright video I needed to create several wooden bases in order for camera to point in the correct direction. The images are great at 1080. The verbal command (optional) is poor quality--a very scratchy "Smile, you're being recorded"; difficult to understand. The remote viewing app for my phone and ipad works well once you get used to it. I had some trouble getting it to work. It occasionally lost connection and I needed to log out then log back in, but overall it works well. I like the new, improved software for identifying saved clips and playing them back. This works better on phone/ipad than on the DVD from my monitor. Overall a very good system and much improved over my previous NightOwl system. I was able to use my existing BNC cable which made installation much easier.

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.

I recently upgraded my older device because I wanted to improve 3 areas. 1. Motion Detection including using spotlights 2. Notifications 3. Ability to view camera feed when not on local wifi The motion detector triggered when a moth flew by, or when it rained. At night it was almost a constant stream of recording. I could not use notifications or the spotlight. I also leveraged recording areas to minimize the motion detection. This only patched the problem partially. Therefore I decided to upgrade from a DVR-C20-41-JF to a WM-BTD281-4LSA. The new system was easy to initialize and good news it does allow for Human Detection and at this time seems to work sufficiently. Therefore I have enabled the spotlight and some notifications. Also the upgrades to the App have allowed better viewing of my recordings while remote. But I lost the ability to lengthen the recording time for each occurrence as well as some other small features and functions. I would say the App is still a bit clunky and needs improvements. p.s - I am still learning the features and functionality of the new device, hopefully they continue to improve the product As of today this is a solid product in a space with a lot of other solid products. But not a leader.

this system is our second Night owl security set up. I'm am happy it works but, we had plenty of issues and it's got a steep learning curve. Not so user friendly. The options are limited and incomplete compared to the older system. It does however have decent cameras.

Video quality is not good at all. Very slow app. There's a reason it's so cheap
