But honestly, I’ve come to expect ultra-easy DIY installation. Thankfully, Night Owl security cameras were quick and painless to configure and install. These brands offer more style-forward options, but keep in mind that they don’t offer the local video storage setup of Night Owl. If you’re looking for more stylish options, check out my Arlo review or my Reolink review. I happen to like the looks of the cameras, but they may not be for everybody. A black camera will stick out like a sore thumb on white trim, and vice versa. But one quick tip is to match the camera color to the color of your door trim.

Holding the 1080p Indoor/Outdoor cameras in-hand, you’ll notice the devices look and feel like high-quality modern security cameras - almost like what you’d find in a government building. My Experience With Night Owl Security Cameras First Impressions One thing has remained true, though: No matter which Night Owl camera you buy, you won’t have to pay a monthly cloud fee to store videos as they come with a local video recording device.īefore jumping into my experience with the cameras, here are a few key stats to know about Night Owl: Night Owl Camera Features In 2009, they only had a few wired security camera options, but today, they also offer wireless (plugged in to power but uses Wi-Fi) and wire-free (battery-powered Wi-Fi) camera options. I found that Night Owl did, in fact, grow since its cameras first hit the shelves. So I’ll give Night Owl the benefit of the doubt here. But then again, Night Owl doesn’t have the same name recognition as the Ring, for example, or Google Nest’s super-high-tech cams. Unfortunately, there’s not a lot of info on the company to be found. The Night Owl brand has been in business since 2009, 1 and they bill themselves as the fastest- growing manufacturer of security DVRs and cameras.

You may appreciate this, but it’s pretty standard for the industry. Of course, their hardware is manufactured abroad (you know, to cut costs), but their engineers, software designers, and servers are all located stateside. Unlike many security companies that have their roots in China, Night Owl was founded in Naples, Florida.
