I've had my night owl for several years, but for a few months now, I can't bring up on the app and have scanned info from the system to the phone & it still won't connect! Everything is correct. What's the problem? Night owl you need to fix! What's the point of having, if we can't bring up live on phone/app @ home or away! Not a happy camper. If I'm not home to look at the monitor, can't access my cameras for security

Most of the time my mobile app does not work. When I'm away from home I can't see my cameras it just brings up the black camera screen like it's buffering. Once in a blue moon they will work but not often. Don't know how to fix it. Would love some help if possible. Even when I have great signal strength (phone and wi-fi) it still doesn't work!!!

Hello Steve, we are very sorry for the issue you are currently experiencing. Please know we recommend having a reliable Wi-Fi connection when attempting to remotely connect to your Night Owl DVR. Also, we suggest having an internet connection that has a minimum upload speed of 2 Mbps. Please do not hesitate to contact our technical support team.

This app is working horribly. It works for a period of time and then you cannot connect to your cameras. Had to uninstall the app and then reinstall for it to work properly for a short period of time. Now that doesn't even work. I can no longer see my cameras via mobile app. I get a constant "Connect Fail" message when logging on and trying to save in the Device Manager. What good is this system if you cannot view your cameras from your phone!!

Remember to have your camera working as Halloween is right around the corner. Who will be watching your home when you are out hoarding candy? Secure. Protect. Connect.
