    Motion detection not great

    I recently set this security system up and loved the clear image it has. I also loved that I could stream it to my phone at no extra cost. However, the motion detection does not seem to be very great. It's suppose to be "smart detection" and record only when it detects humans or strange activities. It even detects animals and it will record. But I have about 20 plus different recordings from different cameras of plants moving or bees flying by and it's categorizing it as "human" detected. It's extremely frustrating. I would give this review 5 starts if it wasn't for this issue.

    Got it on sale - EXCELLENT value! Great performance - 1080p is exceptional :-) I was concerned I would regret 1080p and want 4k - well I'm VERY happy with the video quality of this system. Reliable and easy to use.

    Very easy to install. Can definitely do what it said on the box. This is the 5th one I bought over the year. I put this up to my family’s property and it works perfectly. Got the guy who didn’t pick up the dog poop on my front yard.

    Best thing I have bought for my house yet. The night owls are a great buy for the money and installation was easer then I thought it took a little bet to run the wirers but otherwise worth it.

    Works well didn't know a light stayed on all the time, thought it only came on with motion. You should know from the start you need a 1080 tv, according to the salesperson that wasn't necessary but it was. It seems to been a good system for the money.

    I bought these because a friend of mine still has about the same system, except my camera's are more plastic where hers aren't, but this is a truly awesome system. The app is easy to maneuver and it's two women who installed this system, meaning me and my friend and where she had already done hers was an old pro so to speak at getting mine set up. I bought the system where I can have up to 16 camera's on my system which is very handy because I was sure how many I would need for everything I need or want covered. I know now I'm going to be putting up probably 3 or 4 more cameras over the 4 I bought

    Horrible software for wireless use. Takes forever to load up even with high-quality Internet. There’s no way to turn the auto spotlight function off Or on. Speaking of spotlights I’m not sure what the point of these spotlights are other than to draw attention to the cameras. They do not offer a better view at night than you are over the night vision. Good product/horrible programming overall.

      Quincy... the main reason for the spotlights is to scare off potential intruders. To alert them that they have been detected and discourage them from trespassing. The spotlights can absolutely be disabled, if desired, for one or more cameras. Please refer to your product manual, which we make available for free on our support site, support.nightowlsp.com. Regarding loading speeds, that directly correlates to your Internet speed connection, so please test your speeds. Also, keep in mind, that you need to consider how many devices you have networked. While you may have high-quality Internet, if you have multiple devices networked, then your system may not be getting the dedicated speeds it needs to perform well. If you need further assistance, click Contact Us from your product's support page. Thank you!
