Night Owl CL-BTD81-44L Expandable Bluetooth DVR with 4 Wired Ultra HD Spotlight Cameras and 1TB Hard Drive

On Black Friday we entered the world of home security cameras. Within a few days our first four cameras were bringing peace of mind. This last purchase was my second order of two more each time. Our NightOwl system of eight and the DVR work day and night to allow us peace of mind. My wife can step to the monitor and see those things that go boom in the night. We both appreciate the quality and features (and the value for our money!

I upgrade my old 8channel 1080p to the 4K... The quality is just like they stated! Vivid & much better, the field of view is wider also. Only negative is thde DVR doesnt have audio in like my old one; I only had one audio camera anyway. So, it was a good trade.

Replacing an Old Night Owl system, almost went with another Brand because the old system was so bad in App remote connectivity and pic quality. Decide to give a chance on new 4k system with existing cable. i made a great decision to stay with Night Owl, New system have great connections and great pics. Thank You Night Owl

We upgraded our system from an older Night Owl DVR and cameras. The picture clarity and the ease of the software to make it mobile viewable was so much better than our old system. I was told that the old cameras and cables were not compatible but they actually were, which made it much easier to install because I didn't have to pull wires except for the cameras I added.

I bought this item/kit, and the first one was DOA (no output signal yo the TV), the replacement one DID come fairly quickly but I was getting a weak output signal from it too as the TV would flash off and on, Customer Experience This booking page is currently unavailable. If you are the owner of this account, you can log in to find out more. but I used another hdmi cable and it seems OK for now. Overall, I like the pictures and the camera coverage. If it wasn't for the first dvr being faulty, I would have given it 5 stars.

We hooked this DVR up to another set of cameras already hard wired in our home. (That system was through Q-See who apparently went out of business during the pandemic. The DVR we had for the Q-See system had started making noises and we believe the fan was starting to go). This works perfectly EXCEPT our TV is only HD and we didn't realize it needed to be a 4K in order to put the program onto the TV itself. It works fantastically though via our mobile devices and that actually has been working out well. The DVR is quiet. Eventually we will install the four cameras that came with this DVR.

I bought this system to replace my older 720p camera system. I only have a few of my cameras changed out as temps are single digits to -30. I haven't got the app on my phone to accept the DVR yet but I'm working on it. It keeps showing the dvr is already listed but has a red x on it

Just bought this a week ago, 6/19/21, and the product was really what I expected, pros: 1. easy set up and configuration, and installation 2. pictures in live view or review were crystal clear, even with zoom in 3. broader view angle, 85 degree 4. No connection hiccup viewing via mobile devices so long as you have good wifi bandwidth Minor cons: 1. No audio recorded or in Live view 2. there are 1 or 2 sec delays between actual happenings and recordings 3. False positive alerts with one of my cameras and no sensitive settings to control it except turning on/off 4. the DVR was so hot, esp. at the HD location as its vent designed were not good; I had to place a small external fan and it helped In all, recommended product

We have owned the night our security system for several years, we are on our third system. The last system that finally wore out this week we purchased in 2017 and utilized The night owl HD app. I utilize an old tablet as a monitor in my work area so that I can see when I have deliveries. The tablet is mounted and displayed my four primary cameras throughout the day uninterrupted. It is too far from the system itself to use a cable to have the normal monitoring. This app is absolutely useless for a constant monitoring. It shuts down right at the most inapt time and then takes forever going through all the steps to get it back up and running again. Basically this app is made my system useless for my every day use and is making me reconsider night owls system.

We have had the security system for 2 years wanted to add 2 more cameras so we ordered and the delivery and product was good. When we tried to hook them up according to directions they would not work so we contacted support and they were awful. I now have 2 cameras that are useless to us
