Simply the best

I started out recording my property after an incident that happened in 1999. We didn’t have anything called NVR or DVR. We had a VCR. I bought a 12 hour VCR tape to record while at work with a color camera I bought at Radio Shack. Those were the days!!! That VCR set up NOT SO MUCH !!! I love that I don’t need a subscription and the video quality is great day and night’s. I get alert accurate alerts when an auto arrives and a human walking in. I couldn’t ask for more. I even bought the metal yard sign and stickers to let everyone know that they need to smile pretty for the camera. Thank You Night Owl.
