Night Owl 2-Way Audio 20 Channel 2TB DVR Security System and 9 Wired 4K Resolution Dome Cameras

This FTD-8 System was much more user friendly than my first Night Owl unit which quit working after 8 years of continuous use. This Night Owl was very easy to set up. I do wish that the installation instructions had mentioned that I needed to install the "Night Owl Protect CMS" program on my laptop in order to view the cameras on my PC. The CMS program is different than the Smartphone App, which is simply "Night Owl Protect". The only oddity that I'm experiencing is, every few minutes, a random camera will quickly flash a colorful scrambled screen, or a camera will go blank for just a second. It's not really troublesome, and I can live with that. I'm hoping that it might be caused by something like my electric sump-pump cycling on and off every few minutes because we're having a very wet and rainy spring season. I'm happy that I bought this FTD-8 system. A huge plus was that the original Night Owl camera wires that I installed 8 years ago were compatable with this new system and its 4K cameras, and I did not need to run new wires.

I upgraded from some old night owl cameras for the newer model. absolute right choice. great value for the money.

I bought this system last year they work great I both other 4 camera system too my RV 2 way audio there super cool and I really like when you can talk and listen in same time

I upgraded to the 2 tb dvr, it seems a little better than the 1tb. Still streams to your mobile device in kbs. If that could become mbs i would actually like this unit. Otherwise i only like it when I'm at the dvr viewing footage. It live streams ok until you select an individual camera then that kbs screws it all up.

I got this system four months ago and I think I like my old system better. I like the audio with the system but the videos lag and it will notify me with vehicles and humans but nothing is there or its just a bug, rain, etc. Not sure if it's my settings or not but my system only keeps 25 days of events and won't let me manually delete to save space.
