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.

DO NOT BUY! The cameras are great but the system and the app are the worst. The time and date stamp won't stay accurate no matter what we do. Trying to navigate the ridiculously complicated dash board is frustrating on a good day. The app works only when it wants to and even then it's spotty at best. What's the point in having great cameras if the system software sucks? And No! I don't need to call again. I need a new system by a better company.

We are sorry you are experiencing connectivity issues with the app. In order to avoid a black screen when attempting to view your system, your smart device needs to meet the minimum requirement of 2mbps of upload speed. Otherwise please connect to a reliable Wi-Fi connection to attempt to view the live feed. Thank you for choosing Night Owl.

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!!
