Utilizing our Dual Sensor Technology, this system detects both motion and heat to minimize false alerts and keep you apprised of Real threats in Real time. This truly is innovation right at your fingertips! From the Manufacturer Dual Sensor Technology With standard motion detection, false alarms often occur when bugs fly in front of the camera, cobwebs appear, the wind strongly blows or heavy rain looms.

By efficiently eliminating up to 90% of false alarms, you can now easily locate the recordings that matter most! The HDD can be upgraded to a max 6 TB internal SATA HDD.

Wide Viewing Angle These wide angle cameras provide a 100˚ field of view, which far surpasses the standard 42˚ field of view of many cameras. Hadrwired Security System Our PIR system is a hardwired security system that offers invaluable peace of mind. A hardwired connection provides uninterrupted viewing and recording with no delays! Standard Motion vs. Smart Detection Reduce false alarms by up to 90% with our Smart Detection Security System! Our wired Infrared cameras detect humans, animals and vehicles. About the Startup Describe your product in 3 words. Innovative, Quality, Affordable How did you come up with the idea for this product? Night Owl originated from a desire to provide customers with an easy to use, cost effective and high quality product. We believe that everyone should be able to secure what matters most to them. Whether for your home or business, Night Owl offers state-of-the-art technology that will help give you peace of mind, all the time. What makes your product special? Night Owl’s Smart Detection Security System uses dual sensors to eliminate the number of false alarms you receive by up to 90%. Whereas standard security systems using current motion detection technology send out alerts every time motion is sensed, our heightened detection system is designed to focus in on objects that present more of a threat. Gone are the days of receiving an alarm when a bug flies in front of the camera, a cobweb appears, the wind strongly blows or heavy rain looms. Instead, enjoy the peace of mind that accompanies fewer motion alerts as Night Owl helps you protect what matters most. While our systems are set to motion record by default, we do offer multiple recording options as we understand the needs of our consumers are varied. As such, you may elect to set your cameras to 24/7 record or scheduled record should this be a necessity for your home or business. Keep in mind, setting your system to motion record with our Dual Sensor Technology will drastically increase the life of your hard drive and make locating important recordings much easier! What has been the best part of your startup experience? The most rewarding aspect of our company is being able to provide our customers with the security they deserve. Our Dual Sensor Technology helps ensure that customers are alerted to actual threats or meaningful events. Prior to this advancement, standard security systems would send alerts to your Smart Device anytime a camera detected motion. While this was of huge benefit to our consumers, some articulated that they were receiving too many false alerts. Night Owl listened! Our Dual Sensor Technology truly takes it to the next level! By incorporating infrared sensors into the 1080p cameras, this system utilizes both motion detection and heat detection to minimize false alerts and keep you apprised of Real threats in Real time.

Not worth it.
EDIT JAN. 2019:The mac software could contain extremely unsafe malware. When testing the safety of the application, I found out that the application does not have a valid code signature. This means the executable can be maliciously modified without being detected. The application also tries to connect to at least 50 other IP addresses when the application is CLOSED. This was all observed using LittleSnitch 4 for Mac. (a network analysis and firewall tool) I've attached a screenshot of the LittleSnitch interface showing the ludicrous amount of connections it tries to make when the app is closed. I advise ALL to stay away from this company.The processes that you can see in Activity Monitor have no valid code signature:- NightOwlX_CMS- cmsWebSvrThe software is terrible for the computer and the actual cameras themselves are trash. I go to look at the cameras remotely and I'd say it works maybe 40-60% of the time. It's terrible. The Mac app crashes almost overtime I use it. The mobile app even freezes when trying to look at recorded events. Please stay away from this product. Three of the cameras never leave night vision mode and the quality isn't even good.

Don't be fooled what others say
Its a great system. I don't know why some people say that it only records with motion. If they read or have some type of knowledge,you can change the settings to record all the time..also you can view it on all devices live and recorded... the best easy to use systems...

Amazing camera security system would definitely recommend
This camera security system is amazing and the video is so clear and the clarity is beyond amazing. The HD quality of the pictures that you get from the cameras are unbelievable you can pick up somebody's license plates and their faces. The lens surface may look small but the amount of space in panoramic view you get is large. To hook it up to your smartphone is super easy. The only problem I have encountered is trying to hook it up to my computer. Night Owl has been great with trying to help me work on this. Other than that this camera system is beyond amazing and the clarity of the pictures and quality of the video you will get is astonishing. The audio is amazing on the two audio cameras that you get with the set you can clearly hear if someone makes a comment or say something. If you're looking to update your security camera system I would definitely recommend you buy this camera security system.

Horrible product, waste of money
This is a horrible product.1. Image: very unclear and muggy. The color is not colored, it is almost gray.2. View: very narrow angel, quite useless, for both the regular camera and the domes3. Installation: stupidly designed, complicated, technologically backwards , which seems a product from the 1970’s4. App: not friendly at all. Very badly designed5. Computer software: not friendly at all, badly designed6. Recording: terrible. When set on “continuous”, only record on motion.Completely waste of money. After installation behind the walls , our dry walls were up. Now I cannot take off the system, cannot return. It costed me $800 plus labor to install, totally more than $1300 down to the drain.

Remote viewing app is too unstable
I purchased this to upgrade my existing system. I had a Nightowl brand previously but it became dated. I repurchased Nightowl brand because I had good luck with my prior cameras and had good customer service. BIG MISTAKE!These cameras have amazing clarity and the setup is very easy. The motion/IR sensors are still way too sensitive and even after adjustment, they still send far too many false alarms The phone app was also easy to install. However, like others have mentioned, the remote viewing app is very unstable. When it works, its great. Usually however, something goes wrong with it. Sometimes it wont work, sometimes the entire phone will freeze, and sometimes it just shuts down (don't believe the "not enough gigabite wifi" as I have 180 GPS wifi). Currently, the Nightowl X app has been completely down for 4 days and after waiting 2 hours for customer service, Nightowl says they are having technical problems and don't know when the app will work again. Are you kidding me! I bought this for security and they can't fix their own viewing app? If they don't have it fixed in the next few days, I will be removing this system and sending it back. My friend bought a Lorax and says its great. If not fixed soon, I'll give an updated review and will then be giving a Lorax camera system review.

Shame on Night Owl for creating the most unrefined system ever sold !
First the night vision is over rated. 30 feet at most. Not finished yet with review.pictures on the way. On the PC If you don't have a media player that supports .avi files you can't play back your recordings. VLC media player works . Have to run program as an administrator or it crashes. Picture quality not much better than a night owl 720 system that I also have on my work shop. Power supplies are barely adequate to run the cameras, had the same issue on my Night Owl 720p system on my workshop.Surveillance microphones cannot be heard on my 4k tv that I monitor with, Using HDMI Still working on that one. No power switch also No remote control ! Better buy a mouse extension cord. The Iphone viewing app is better but still erratic. If you need serious monitoring, please don't waste your money on this system.

Skip this one
Save your self and buy anything else. Loved my old nightowl, computer access phone access excellent. It wore out after 9 yrs. This newer unit awful. App doesnt work well and cant get it to work on pc at all. When it does work for 3 mins the pictures are clear but then it stops.
