Fair system

Cameras are good for daylight or good lighting conditions. Poor to no light the IR lights are to bright for close up items but not good enough for distant things in it's view. Set up was good.

Very happy

Installation was easy and the operation of the system is user friendly. For the money it does more than expected.

good home system

the system is easy to set up and get going. It has lots of options on the recorder for playback,display and controls. Te weekest part of the system is the camaras. they have good night vision but color washes out and viewing angle is only 40 degrees so you need lots of camaras to see all that you want. I will need to get a couple wide angle lense camaras to fill in the dead spots

Nice for Price

Easy to install and a great value overall. I would by again if I had to move into another house. It may not be the top of the line $5,000 system but it's nice to know we have eight additional eyes watching over my family day and night. Good job Night Owl.

Great for home

This product works fine for home use, easy to set up and use. One draw back I found is the cameras come with a standard 6mm lens, which does not give a great field of view, especially for indoor use. I believe the lens can be changed to 3.6mm for a better wide angle view and can be purchased on ebay fairly cheap. I have ordered some but have not tried yet. I will write an update when I do.

works well for price

We installed our system about a year ago and it works very well. We especially love the fact we can view cameras from our smartphones. Pretty simple to set up and Night Owl tech support is wonderful.
