  • The image shows a person holding a cell phone with a message displayed on the screen. The message reads "HUMAN - M VEHICLE 11:49 Thursday, 8 September NIGHT OWL PROTECT 5m ago Someone Has Been Detected (Home) Front Door camera saw someone." This suggests that the cell phone is being used to monitor a security system, possibly for a home or a vehicle. The person holding the phone is likely receiving a notification or alert from the security system.

      We’re sorry to hear the system did not meet your expectations. The cameras in this kit have a fixed lens, which means the field of view is set and they do not pan or tilt. For more flexible viewing options, we also offer cameras with pan and tilt capability. If you’d like, our support team can help recommend the best setup for your needs. Please call us at 1-866-979-0580.

    I like to wait a year or so before I write reviews. Worked 1 day longer than the 1 year warranty period. Was only hooked up for 10 months. Other than that, the image on the image on the screen looks good until you go watch replays. Do not reccomend.

    I would would not recommend this product. Simply because the video quality that you get when there is reflection from the floors (epoxy coated) coming from fluorescent lighting shows multiple lines on the video feed when you look at the playback in the app and as well as the monitor we connected. The 2 other cameras that are facing the outside is working fine. Interchanged one camera to see, and the lines when you view disappeared. So its not the connection but the camera itself. I contacted nightowls support multiple times, each time I send them screenshots of how we see it and after awhile waiting for a resolution, they just disconnect so you have to contact them again... different agents, same outcome... no resolution and they just stop communication and disconnects. I purchased a different brand of camera (Litokam) from amazon just to test to compare and the video playback is perfect in all scenario. I got it during black friday last year and we just got the change to install it this month. So unfortunately I cannot return it or exchange it anymore.
