Dave Batzdorf Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 I just purchased this.http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=6391796&Sku=N247-1042Not sure how good the cams are, but I am more interested in the dvd unit. I will mount the cams around the house, but in some locales I will get some better quality ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to me the individual night owl cameras were not easy to find.Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been looking at the same system.Before I would spend a cent I read ALL the customer reviews of the product, if they are somewhat even on good/bad, then I may consider it, if more good, definitely consider it, but if the bad reviews outweigh the good ones, I wouldn't touch it UNLESS it was given to me!From what I see of the 9 reviews on the site thus far, it appears to be an okay system, but many state the cameras ARE NOT VERY GOOD and have used different cameras other than the ones it comes with. So that sort of puts it in my "I doubt I'd buy it if I have to replace the cameras for better ones."But that's my opinion on that score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad02 Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 We've run cameras and motion floods for years, even before light shows. The cameras are nice but a waste of money, the motion lights however, send them running every time.Unless you know the vandals personally the officer will most likely not be able to identify the individuals in the video or do anything more. Found that out first hand, they are interested in looking at your cameras though.We use a portable motion flood setup, weather proof box with an extension cord, and mount it to the backside of our display during the holidays. It plugs right into the power for the controllers and will trigger if anyone walks behind the display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dad02 Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Took an outdoor extension cord, chopped off the female end and inserted it through a seal-tite connector into a weather proof box. Attached files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nova5 Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Alarm sound... Red Alert Klaxon from star trek, or perhaps the landing alert sound from Starwars as vader enters the Death Star. Outdoor speakers... Cranked LOUD. wake the dead loud... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austen Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 I just make sure my controllers are behind the fence, or in the garage. (my last house they were behind the fence, connected on my barn. But I moved this year, and I had to put them in the garage)I was never really concerned in my last neighborhood with thieves, but I am a little worried in this new neighborhood since I don't know anyone. And there's a few people that look kinda shady..I might get some flood lights.. This seems easy, cheap, and effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
