DVR went bad in year 2

I don't know why they hide the frame per second

Frame Per Second is the true quality of the video. Until I see how many fps the video has, I won't buy it

System powered up without issue.

Would Recommend

I bought this a month ago and just got around to hooking it up in room. Have not run wires and cameras yet. System powered up without issue and all cameras worked. No issues with app on phone and images looked good. Hope to get the cameras mounted in next few weeks. Overall happy with unit.

good cameras

Would Recommend

I had for about a week. Poe system, hard wires and instructions straight forward. Setting all the functions for the cameras has not been easy. (not a tech guy) All the instructions and videos were for the wiring, which was the easy part. No instructions or videos for all the camera settings. Web support not help again because it was all about initial set up. Did chat support and Ana F was very helpful .Did not provide phone number for tech support with set up guide, had to look it up. Still work...

Good while it lasted

Would Not Recommend

Purchased a DP8 series 12 Channel wired system. Sam's Club. Great clarity fairly easy to install. The android application was useless, after 6 months as it did not connect with my phone. Sadly the hard drive simply stopped operating after 19 months and warranty is only one year.

Great for recording

Would Recommend

I bought this to replace my THD system when it's Hard Drive failed. Night Owl Marketing was great in providing a compatible system that didn't require that I replace all my old cameras. Simply unplugged the old and plugged in the new using the same connections.

The DVR does what it needs to do

Would Recommend

We hooked this DVR up to another set of cameras already hard wired in our home. (That system was through Q-See who apparently went out of business during the pandemic. The DVR we had for the Q-See system had started making noises and we believe the fan was starting to go). This works perfectly EXCEPT our TV is only HD and we didn't realize it needed to be a 4K in order to put the program onto the TV itself. It works fantastically though via our mobile devices and that actually has been workin...

Almost 5 star

Would Recommend

Cameras work amazing and when you replay can zoom into crazy close but for some reason 2 of the 4 go black and white at night. Can't seem to have these 2 cameras color 24/7.

Hard to connect

Would Not Recommend

Very hard to connect to from a remote location. Only 3 or 4 cameras connect. Can not get any play back from any cameras. Does not work as well as the first Night Owl system we had.

The view is great

Would Recommend

This is the best camera set I have bought. I'm using 8 of the 16 cameras at this time I like the spotlights I live out in the country and it helps a lot. If you're looking to buy a set hope you have as much Is success as I did

4K is much Better!

Would Recommend

I upgrade my old 8channel 1080p to the 4K... The quality is just like they stated! Vivid & much better, the field of view is wider also. Only negative is thde DVR doesnt have audio in like my old one; I only had one audio camera anyway. So, it was a good trade.

DP8-12 wired camera system…..

Would Recommend

I bought this item/kit, and the first one was DOA (no output signal yo the TV), the replacement one DID come fairly quickly but I was getting a weak output signal from it too as the TV would flash off and on, Customer Experience This booking page is currently unavailable. If you are the owner of this account, you can log in to find out more. but I used another hdmi cable and it seems OK for now. Overall, I like the pictures and the camera coverage. If it wasn’t for the first dvr being faulty,...
