Walk Off Homer
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!

Good quality
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good thing first, the quality of the image is amazing! The images and videos are very clear. The app is easy to use as well. Not so good...the cables! It was not difficult to install. My husband and I installed all the cameras by our self, but all those cables where a hassle. The hard work pays off!

    Night Owl 4k Security Cameras
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Night Owl 4k Security Cameras are pretty amazing. We love the clarity and that we are able to use thru wifi directly to our television as well as on our phones. They also track people as they come into view so you are able to monitor quickly. The dvr also has a 1 tb hard drive so it holds a ton of video for you to keep on hand just in case anything needs to be watched. As I said before such a great device and I would definitely recommend to all in need of a great Surveillance system!

      spotlights are great!
      WOW! Awesome buy! I had the installer put all 8 cameras inside and outside around my house. I love the feature on the app where you can shut off the spotlights because I really didn't want the lights in my house but absolutely wanted them on all outdoor cameras! The lights are super bright which I love so it's like a deterrent for anyone who comes on my property!

      Thank you so much for the review and for choosing Night Owl. Yes, the spotlights can be easily disabled if there are select cameras you do not want the light on. It looks like the installer did a great job. Thank you for sharing!

        Good while it lasted
        Purchased a DP8 series 12 Channel wired system. Sam's Club. Great clarity fairly easy to install. The android application was useless, after 6 months as it did not connect with my phone. Sadly the hard drive simply stopped operating after 19 months and warranty is only one year.

          There are compatibility charts available on the device's support page. It is always a good idea to check for compatibilty first before purchasing a product.

          Nice DVR great picture. But laggy, hence 3/5 avg
          Very easy to setup, but the laggy video playback from the app and mobile app is very annoying. The picture is much wider than my older camera system, the picture from 1080p to 4K is about the same maybe a tad sharper. I just can't for the life of me figure out the lag issues. I have a 1G internet connection, I stream 4K movies on multiple devices all the time with zero issues. The Windows app is severely lacking in features and being able to change network settings or anything like that. Not even sure there is web gui built into the DVR to tweak it to maybe get rid of the lag? I am on the fence of ripping it all out and going back to my old camera system, if I can't rid the device of the lag. That is just unacceptable for the price you're paying for these cameras.

            Great for recording
            I bought this to replace my THD system when it's Hard Drive failed. Night Owl Marketing was great in providing a compatible system that didn't require that I replace all my old cameras. Simply unplugged the old and plugged in the new using the same connections.

            The DVR does what it needs to do
            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.

            Almost 5 star
            Cameras work amazing and when you replay can zoom into crazy close but for some reason 2 of the 4 go black and white at night. Can't seem to have these 2 cameras color 24/7.

            Good afternoon and thank you for reaching out. If you have a camera that is going black at night, that means it is not receiving enough power to activate Night Vision. This can be for one of a few reasons, including the camera being pushed out further from the DVR, a bad power adapter or a bad power splitter. Please email techteam@nightowlsp.com at your convenience, providing your name, contact information, best time of day to reach you and a brief description of all ongoing issues. One of our internal advanced support agents will promptly reach out and work with you on a resolution. We look forward to hearing from you.

              Hard to connect
              Very hard to connect to from a remote location. Only 3 or 4 cameras connect. Can not get any play back from any cameras. Does not work as well as the first Night Owl system we had.

              The view is great
              This is the best camera set I have bought. I'm using 8 of the 16 cameras at this time I like the spotlights I live out in the country and it helps a lot. If you're looking to buy a set hope you have as much Is success as I did

              More features than I expected
              So very happy with this product - excellent resolution (4k) plus LED bright light from camera with person detected. Excellent deterrent for crime.

              4K is much Better!
              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.

              DP8-12 wired camera system…..
              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.

                Replacing outdated system
                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

                DP2 Cameras
                Our wired cameras have been in place about a year now. They work great. Our daughter wanted to add a couple more to her Night Owl system. Bought these as a Christmas gift for her. My only disappointment was they were not shipped in a Night Owl retail box as I had hoped for gift giving.
