      Comments about Night Owl 8-channel H.264 Video Security Kit w/ 8 Night Vision Cameras (500GB HDD):

      I still didn't install this system, just tested it quickly. First impressions are that cameras should have a bigger viewing angle since this is narrow to cover one room with one camera. Maybe it needs adjustments, but IR was on if light is just a bit lower then direct sun light and it gives unnatural colors...

      Comments about Night Owl 8-channel H.264 Video Security Kit w/ 8 Night Vision Cameras (500GB HDD):

      Using in a restaurant. Owner is able to watch restaurant at home. Video is good quality. Running the cables is a hassle, but easy setup other wise.
      Getting it to run over internet is really technical and tech support has to make an appointment with you days later to get it to work. Tech guy was kind of rude. Happy with the product over all. Still having problems with dvr staying connected with internet.
