    the cameras look great and it is very easy to setup. for some reason, the HDD doesn't work. I have tried all the online tutorials but I can't find out why I still cant record and save in the storage when I have 2TB. I will definitely go with a different company like Dw Security.

    Diy was not bad. I recommend a seasoned diyer or pro install, my roof is cramped but provided cables gave me enough to run all 6 cameras to the dvr in my living room. Ingrated power cables with video made it way easier for one cable to each camera. Good 4k video.

    Over all it is ok, but not a super fan of this model feature. This particular model does not allow you to remotely check on your property from your phone if you are out of the WiFi area. It is not listed as a compatible model for the cloud service that they have to check it remotely.

      Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re glad to hear the system is working overall, but we understand how important remote access is when choosing a security solution.

      To clarify, most of our wired DVR systems—including this 4K model—are designed for remote viewing through the Night Owl Protect app without requiring a cloud subscription. Remote access typically depends on ensuring the DVR is properly connected to the internet and the app is fully set up.

      We’d be happy to help verify your system setup and walk you through the steps to enable remote viewing. Please contact our support team with your model number and we’ll make sure you’re getting the features you expect.
