As a mom in Toronto juggling work and family, I wanted a reliable security system without spending a fortune, and this one from Night Owl fit the bill. It arrived on time, which was a relief. I've been using it for a couple of weeks now, and it's been quite solid. I appreciate that I can watch the live feed locally without internet, but I do miss that feature when I'm out. The video quality is good enough to see what's happening around the house, and I love that I can store everything without worrying about subscriptions. It's not perfect—the audio could be better, and the false alerts are a nuisance—but overall, it does what I need for keeping my home safe. I'd recommend it to others looking for a budget-friendly option, though it might not be for everyone if they need full remote access all the time.
- Pros: I quite liked that I can talk through the cameras to my kids or the delivery person, which is handy for a busy mom like me. The alerts on my phone are immediate when there's movement, so I feel in the loop even when I'm not home. It was easy to set up with the existing wires from my old system, saving me time and hassle. The storage is generous, holding a lot of video without extra fees, which is great for keeping an eye on things over time.
- Cons: The wired setup means I can't check the feeds remotely without internet, which could be a drawback if I'm away and need to see something urgently. Sometimes the alerts go off for small things like pets, which gets a bit annoying. I wish the sound quality was a bit clearer when I'm speaking through it; it can be muffled at times.
