First, the app would sometimes connect and sometimes would not. Then, I couldn't remotely connect to my system and had to be in wifi range to review the cameras. Now, the system won't connect to the internet at all and keeps telling me to plug an ethernet cable in. The cable is in and has been tested with no problems. Still can't connect. Now, I am trying to factory reset the system. Night Owl cameras are nice but the DVR/NVR is conplete garbage. Save your money and go with a better brand.

Updated: Unplugging and re-plugging it did fix the recording problem, so I gave a star back. But I wish there was a better way to filter notifications. It misses human movement if I turn off "any motion" but then I'm getting a notice for every leaf or bird in my yard. Original: Within the last 2 weeks, my cameras are not recording anything. I thought it was user error as I was trying to reduce the number of notifications I was getting due to random things, but it seems to be app related.

Update 5/4: notifications are back but still don't have a photo preview of the alarm. Loading times have gotten slower. Don't know why it has to go through internet when I'm connected on the same wifi as DVR. App needs more development. I know some people. Barely works to get the job done. Notifications needs more work. Constantly changing the style means sometimes it shows a preview, other times just an alert message, it's confusing and needs to fixed. Slow to load and needs constant restart.

Hi, if you have chance to receive the notification just an alert message, please try to re-enable the switch in the Account - App Notifications - Push Notification, thank you!
