User Reviews

User reviews overwhelmingly describe Night Owl HD's iOS app as outdated, under-supported, and unreliable. The recurring issues are remote access failures off-network, frequent disconnects, and poor live view/playback and notification reliability. Many reports cite years without app updates and compatibility problems with newer iOS versions, plus unsatisfactory customer support. A minority note the cameras themselves are solid hardware, but the software woes dominate. Most users urge a major app overhaul or switching to a different system.

Pros

Cameras are good
Some reviewers say the app is great when it works

Cons

App is outdated and rarely updated; compatibility problems on newer iOS versions
Remote access is unreliable; can't view or access when not on the same Wi‑Fi; frequent disconnects
Notifications and motion alerts often do not work
Playback and live view are unreliable and the app frequently crashes
Poor customer support and push to upgrade to a newer system

The app is garbage, and the cameras don’t even connect anymore. I have literally had zero changes in the system - no WiFi or wiring changes. This has been literally the most frustrating purchase I have made for my home.

This camera system needs an update ASAP!! It’s been 7 years since the last one and it clearly shows! This company should be held accountable for anything that happens like home invasions that results in theft or even death because their failure to update their app!! In any moment, seconds count, and if this app takes a longer time to open of fails to open at all, it could mean your life!! There’s gotta be a way to bring a lawsuit against this company for neglecting their app and failing their customers.

They quit supporting this app years ago, I still have my older DVR with my analog cameras and the website that kept updating my ever changing IP address is gone and has been for years, but my system works excellent but you can’t access my system online so it’s worthless until I find a workaround on my own.
