Worst app ever

This is by far the worst app and security system I have ever used! Very rarely am I able to pull up the camera footage at my home and 3 businesses. More times than not it states connecting issues that are not related to my internet connection! If you are in the market for security systems, my advice to you is to steer clear of Night Owl! Complete waste of money!
