User Reviews

Night Owl X\'s iOS app is consistently criticized for instability and poor maintenance. Recurrent issues include devices not connecting or disappearing, unreliable playback, missing or delayed notifications, and an outdated, unsupported app ecosystem. Users also report periodic downtime and slow performance, making monitoring and reviewing incidents unreliable.
Pros
Cons
  • Frequent connectivity issues: the app cannot find or connect to devices and cameras often don\'t appear in the app.
  • Playback problems: playback is unreliable, often shows only a few clips at a time or fails entirely, requiring constant refreshing.
  • Notifications failing or delayed: users report no notifications or significant delays in alerts.
  • Outdated/unsupported: the app is described as barebones, outdated, and not supported on newer devices or by current Night Owl hardware; poor or no updates are provided.
  • Downtime and instability: the app is reported to go down periodically, with slow performance and overall unreliability.

Starting on February 25 I was no longer able to view my cameras remotely. I called support and was on with them for 90 minutes before being told my issue was being escalated and that they would get back within a few days. After a week of waiting and no call back, I called again and we basically started the same troubleshooting process all over again - no resolution. Once again I was told that someone would get back with me. I received an email approximately one month later asking if I was still having issues. I informed them yes, that I’m still unable to view my cameras remotely. I never heard back. So I decided to call them today. I was told that my issue is due to my system was an older one and this app no longer supports remote viewing. It would have been nice to have been told in advance that this was coming and also not having to wait 3 months and repeatedly calling before Nightowl Support let me know. Do yourself a favor and buy another camera brand.
