Night Owl - Extreme HD 8-Channel, 8-Camera Wired 1TB DVR Surveillance System - Black/White

I used Ravo brand for years and its expensive but outstanding. I have 2 Samsung indoor wireless camera and outstanding app, but night owl app is not good at all. I thing my VGA port is not working. Called customer service but couldn't resolve this issue. System is less than 30 days old but paid $200.00 for installation so can't return it because I have to go through this installation process again. Tried 2 different VGA monitors and 5 different VGA cables but no results. Another issue s if someone comes by camera in all white clothing its not catching. Big mistake buying this camera. I bought this at Best Buy.

I have 1st system bought at costco and work great. Everything just scan barcode and done. This is 2nd nightowl system and problem came! No way to get this work in mobile app or pc . I chat with Night owl support. NightOwl technician support remote my pc to set up for 2 hrs and GAVE UP. Another NightOwl technician said can't keep 2 NightOwl system work at same time, same network. But I buy another Lorex system and just scan bar code , all done great! Cause Lorex DVR fan so noisy at night. I can't keep Lorex. Now I go to return 2nd Nightowl too!

Cameras take very clear pictures and have a longer range than stated on the package. The cameras will take pictures at night as well, but the cameras must be outside to do so. The quality of the night pictures depends on the amount of light from the moon, street lights, head lights, etc. Obviously, if you can't see what is in the dark, neither will the camera; if there is enough light for you to see the cameras will be able to do so as well.

I opened up the box and checked that everything was there and went to work. Approximately 1 1/2 Hours later I had the first 4 of 6 cameras installed and was very pleased, my wire management has something to be desired but who cares it worked. the system is more than what I expected (quality wise) and that being tied in with an awesome Best buy price you can't go wrong buying this

Not working on arrival. Have to return. I have already received 2 harrassing emails from manufacturer to hurry up and get my receipt and non-functional equipment sent in and it's been less than a week since notifying them that after I installed all of my cameras, that the DVR will not connect to the internet. I install fiber-optic cable TV and internet for a living and the technical support was sub par.

The system is not working or staying on. I’ve had Nightowl system in the past so I’m familiar with the system and hardware. For some reason unknown the system isn’t setting up properly I only get the night owl screen and then it blacks out and doesn’t even show me the setup window just nothing after the night owl screen it goes dark and I get “no signal”. I will be returning it.

Finally, put cameras up and they are more than what I expected as in clarity and quality. The clarity is very clear and the HD is amazing even when you zoom in. The night vision mode still gives a clear picture also. I would rate these cameras more than 5 stars in my book. For the price I paid $249 on Black Friday they are well worth it!!!

I went with this 8 camera set up so i can cover all my bases at my auto shop. It was easy to install. The only hard part is the cable management. The user interface was a bit to learn. Its not as responsive as a computer and also it seems very sluggish at times when viewing playback video.
