    Setup is easy I had the holes drilled already from a preexisting system. This DVR supports up to 16 cameras however it only comes with 4 cameras. The night vision video quality is acceptable for this price range system. The setup of the DVR system is easy following the on-screen dialog boxes. The system does not come with a monitor, but any TV/monitor with HDMI will do for the set up. I would suggest getting a monitor for play back, although you can get playback from the application. I also would suggest a spot that gets lots of air as the DVR tends to be warm/hot to the touch. The face detection is not but best, but it works. Keeps thinking the dog is a human. So far the cat has not set it off. Set up of the application was without problems. The video quality is ok for this level system. What’s in the box. DVR Quick Start Guide 4 Cameras 4 rolls of 60 ft Coaxial Cable 2 Power Supply’s for camera and DVR 4 packages of mounting screws for cameras Mouse Night Owl security warning window decals Pros: You can use multiple DVR’s with the application if they are named differently. 1TB hard drive Easy system setup. Easy application setup to android. 1080p screen resolution 16 camera slots. Playback to attached monitor. Night Vision distance up to 100 ft. Color night vision using ambient light. B/W without light. Cons: Face detection needs improvement. Playback to application lags. DVR gets warm/Hot to the touch. Video out is HDMI no VGA for older monitors. Requires entering phone number for verification phase. If you are looking for a do it yourself security system at a reasonable price I recommend you start with this DVR.

      Posted .

      Hi Nicholas. Thank you for the review and for being a Night Owl customer. We appreciate you and your feedback! For the TV/Monitor we do strongly recommend a minimum of 1080p resolution. That way there is no issue getting the system to populate to the TV with an HDMI connection, as it is defaulted to 1080p. There are bound to be some false alerts with Facial Capture/Human Detection but we are happy to hear it is capturing mostly human activity. There are advanced camera settings (such as sensitivity and detection grids) that can help enhance your experience and reduce false alerts. Please visit support.nightowlsp.com and enter your product series for your detailed manual and troubleshooting guides. Again, thank you for the review and for choosing Night Owl!

    The only complaint we have is that it does not decipher between an actual human and an object very well! However the rest we absolutely love and would recommend to anyone!

    I rated this system 3 stars because it was very difficult for my tech to setup. He had to call the Night Owl support center and had to wait over an hour for someone to respond. After getting a tech on the phone the camera system began to work but it still didn't connect to my phone. I was advised that I could only connect my phone to the system by using wifi and that I needed a pretty high speed internet package.
