After years of using this app and having little issues ( app freezing up, disconnecting, having to reloadgetting, also, having to delete the device and re-uploading it). I got a new phone, and now the app no longer works. I contacted Night Owl and was told they no longer supported the app I was using, and my cameras were out of data. Their response was that I had to buy a new DVR camera set.

Terrible terrible I use this app for a long time it worked great. Don't know if some updates where done. But it crashes a lot, it disconnects it serves me no purpose. Can't check my cameras. I sure hope it's fix soon I've been with my system a few years now. I'm adding this we are in 2025 now. Now this ápp says it won't work with any newer android operating system. One star is to much.

I've had this app for years and it's worked pretty well, but for the last month or so it won't send notifications! I've contacted the support team and currently have an open case. They told me there's a problem with their app and they would let me know when it's resolved! ( that was a couple of weeks ago) every other day I reply to them asking if they have any updates, they don't even have the courtesy to reply to me with an answer of any kind! Sad support!! #uselesssecurity!

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.
