It would also be nice if there was greater integration into the smart home universe. Would be nice to have a chirp option that let's someone know there are cameras but does not constantly shout out Smile you are are being recorded. They constantly go off when motion is around and repeat the same phrase over and over. The sound warnings, while effective are all or nothing.

There is no snooze function for motion, so you have to turn off notifications if you are going to be in an area outside for a while, be prepared to be constantly bombarded with notifications. For example the do not disturb function is hit or miss as I set a time only to fin out that it does not work. It's slow to load, and some of the features for iOS don't work. My biggest gripe with this product is the app. The video is nice and the ability to do human vs vehicle vs face detection is very helpful at cutting down false alerts that you used to get from the 'pixel change' motion alerts of the older systems.

While I would recommend this unit to a friend, I would also tell them about the issues listed above. No software is available to set up remote viewing on a computer. Remote viewing on my computer can only be set up with the Connect app.Ĥ. Still pricing new phone but expect an additional cost of $200-$400.ģ. I'm going to have to purchase a new phone as my existing phone cannot be upgrade to Android 8.0. The Night Owl connect app will not work with an Android Version earlier than 8.0. This required me to purchase a new tv to be able to set up the unit.

The unit is only compatible with a 1080p or 4k tv (or monitor). The pictures are clear but there are several problems that I wish the Night Owl rep would have told me before I purchased it.ġ. I preceded to set up the unit manually with no major problems. The app indicated that it was not available for my phone). Initial thoughts Once the unit arrived, I changed out my existing cameras (unit not compatible with previous Night Owl AHD-10 unit) and tried to download the Night Owl Connect app.
