Disappointed is an understatement. Why will the app not work on Google Pixel phones? It's not compatible. Which is very frustrating for me ever since I changed phones I'm unable to view my cameras remotely because the app is not compatible with my phone. I find this odd as I was originally using a phone that was almost 8 years old and had no problem with the app at all. Now my brand new 2023 Pixel can download the app.

App is total trash. App keeps crashing and won't connect to the DVR. This has been going on for months. There hasn't been an update to the app in recent months/years. I went ahead and ordered another DVR from a different manufacturer that is compatible with the cameras. What good is having a security system if you can't monitor from anywhere?

Will not work. There are no new updates. Not connecting to phone. Says this app works for older versions of Android. Might not work properly. This is crazy. What's the deal with the developers. Where are the new updates. Has not been updated since Nov 2, 2018. I have a Samsung S22 Ultra, and for this app to not work or updated is not good. See cameras on tv screen but cannot access from phone. Ughhhhhhh!!!!!!

What's new

Our first update of the Fall has arrived! The Night Owl engineers have been living on coffee and fast food so they can eliminate a bug affecting push notifications. Just like you, we do not like bugs! Where ever you may be, please stand and give these guys an ovation. The issue has been fixed. 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.
