Ratings and reviews

Night Owl System works fine. App is a big step back. The app does not allow rotation and full screen display of cameras. Every camera is displayed as a !square! box! Not possible to have it displayed in 4:3 or 16:10 format. It is even more annoying on a tablet. Please add rotation and full screen as it was in the old Night owl app! I am considering returning it because of it.

The app got to where I could not view the live feed without it just being a scrambled mess. I did a restart, cleared the cache several times and none of that worked. So I tried updating to the current version.... same exact issues. I hope the developers can help with this as it is unusable at this point. * Update * I have determined that the problem the app has is with my Wi-Fi, which is strange because it was never an issue before.

Update3: NOTHING consistently works Update2: been using the app for 4 years and it's never consistently worked even after multiple interactions with support [Update: not a year old yet and it decided it wasn't going to record anything anymore] Settings I change don't stick. I'll get an alert every single minute that my car, which has been sitting in the same spot for 2 days, has been detected. Even if I create a non detection zone around my car it will still detect it and let me know.
