    A good product. The instructions could be a little clearer. I like the nice compact footprint. Cameras have a great picture for the price.

    Used to have the ring system but this camera setup works way better. So I got rid of my ring. Picture quality is way better on this system.

    This surveillance system is super affordable compared to other models with the same features. With its extremely easy installation. It provides exactly quality video and audio. The only complaints I have are that the "human detection" apparently considers dogs, chickens, and rabbits to be human. But extremely effective none the less

    Great option for security at home or office, software is easy to use, I had the old version of Night Owl and I gotta say they improve the software, they make it a lot easier to use. Also you can send alerts trough your phone and plays on the camera, record audio too

    This is without a doubt the worst system I have ever used. Even after adjusting zones and specifying what you want recorded, it still records literally everything. The app is terrible. The camera quality is decent, but it doesn't justify everything else being terrible. It picks and chooses when it wants to record. I literally watch people walk by the "human detection zones" and it won't record. But the 1 inch sliver of bush that blows in the wind, is apparently a human and gets recorded. I will be taking the time to remove these and returning them ASAP.

    I like this system. The clarity is better then my previous night owl, which I purchased in 2017. It wasn't compatible with my new internet so I had to upgrade. I'm glad I did.

    Very clear image. I like them a lot. Only thing I don’t like is that it doesn’t have the two way talk feature but other than that, they’re good. They are pretty clear during the night too.
