Review on Night Owl Wireless Security WNVR201 44P B by Andrew Agarwal

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Overall very satisfied, slight signal problem on rear camera 1 2nd floor 22ft from NVR

So I tried another wireless surveillance camera before trying the night owl and unfortunately had to go through a lot of trouble. Removing the other kit and the sealant I used to install the new kit the problem I had with the previous kit was getting a decent signal from the backup camera I installed on the 2nd floor and the DVR is located at the front of the house on the 1st floor. . Everything is now set up and working great! I actually had a similar problem with this system as the rear camera on the 2nd floor gets a weaker signal but not as strong, the signal is 3 out of 4 bars which lowers the camera's recording and display quality a bit so I did a uses wired 6ft antenna and plugged into camera outside, placed antenna on dresser on 2nd floor and camera gets much stronger signal, now always shows decent quality with -1 bar - full bar and never misses a second or drop down, so i really like this set, i also want to point out that the rear camera on the 2nd floor has a brick wall between the house and the camera, i also installed a camera in front of the house outside the brick wall, but it gets full signal and is very clean like the one in the house. I still get the occasional -1 bar on the signal, causing a slight drop in the quality of the 2nd floor rear camera, but it never clips or misses a second. The NVR is loaded with many features and the mobile app is convenient and I enjoy monitoring my house remotely while I work. Motion detection has a lot of settings, which is nice as you can choose which areas to detect motion and sensitivity Play around with the channel the wireless system is running on, which might help the signal but haven't had time yet to deal with it. I'm very glad they include 1 wire antenna so I can get a great picture I get on the back camera on the 2nd floor because without them the signal was almost poor quality, you can check the signal before using the cameras seal to see if you may also need to use the wired antenna which is inside but connected to the external camera. I have sold them at Revain in case you need more than the 1 included in this set. The cameras are already synced to the NVR. So there is no need to configure the cameras, you just have to upload them and you're done! Night vision is normal and easy enough to see something's face and figure, but not too far away. In general I am satisfied with the cameras, the photos attached are at night and the photos from the back are very dark, the video by day is very clear! I'm attaching a picture of the motion activated rear camera this morning, it's very clear!
