The cameras work great.. by themselves. However the software does not. The lights will not turn off when you set it to off and the app will not work as shown at all. Once we fought the app and had to reset the DVR multiple times we finally got it to connect. 5 minutes later the app dropped the device as if it was never added. The app never let us see the camera feeds and the customer service doesn't exist... all on all I returned this item.

This multi camera set was a good choice for me because I wanted to capture every moment and angle around the premises of my house.
This set will allow you to do just that!

Its only okay, the cameras feel light and cheap and I don't like the interface compared to the others. I would say save your money and get a lorex system.

I have had several DVD’s over the years and fully expected this system to function at least equally yo others..
My main complaint is If exit front door an walk towards street to mailbox I am 15 feet away before recording starts.
If I back my car out of the garage, recording doesn’t start until 10 seconds or so later. By then you have lost the opportunity to see who was in the car because they are out in the street now.
If I didn’t have this fully installed I would return it.

I already use a Night Owl 16 camera system, so decided to expand with another Night Owl system. Very easy to add to existing system.
Best Buy had the best price for what I needed.

Hi Charger. Are you having an issue with loading from a TV / monitor? Or are you referring to the app from a Smart Device? If from a Smart Device, is there a problem when on the same network as the DVR or only when you are viewing on a separate network. The most likely cause for loading issues with the app is your Internet service speeds, so please ensure you are meeting the products minimum requirements. If you need further help, please visit support.nightowlsp.com. Thank you.

It is doing the job I need but I would have appreciated a manual because the system is very complicated. When I called and explained the situation to Best Buy sales rep, this was the only product recommended. It is not user friendly. I still have to get through the manual I had to print to figure out how to work it. And their tech support is terrible. Horribly long waits and the techs on chat don't understand what is being asked, then they get nasty.

These cameras are slow, I walked right in front of them and sometimes they don't even light up. They are just not reliable for the money and I should've just bought the more expensive ones and saved myself the hours of installation it took me. Plus there is no audio. I'm just disappointed overall; might be a great deal but who cares if they can't even reliably do what you are buying them for.
