About this item

System Overview

System Overview

Introducing Night Owl’s 5MP (Megapixel) Wired Security System with Human Detection Technology and Motion-Activated Spotlights. At 5MP, you capture recordings with clarity and precision. There are absolutely no fees for storing your recordings. Simply keep everything on the pre-installed 2TB hard drive. Human Detection Technology uses advanced algorithms to detect human motion, thereby reducing false alerts to your Smart Device and saving hard drive space. A built-in motion-activated spotlight activates anytime one of the 5MP HD Wired home cameras senses human motion, adding an extra layer of security to your world. Facial Capture and Recognition Technology captures a person’s face from upto 10 ft. away from the camera, scans the system’s database for a match, and sends a Familiar or Unfamiliar Face alert to your Smart Device. The weather-resistant indoor/outdoor home security cameras generate 2.5 times more pixels than standard 1080p video resolution. Additionally, continue recording in full-color video even in low-light settings with L2 Color Boost® Technology. As light fades, these cameras provide crisp and clear video in full-color only switching to Night Vision when necessary. Night Vision up to 100 ft. and wide-angle viewing provide extreme coverage for your home or business.

The Night Owl® HD Wired Security System works alongside a free remote viewing App for iOS® and Android™ Smart Devices. You can view on a PC or Mac with our free computer software. Plus, you have access to free 24/7 technical support in English, Spanish and French, to provide all the support you need. Experience the quality, reliability, and excellent customer service of Night Owl® with our new 5MP system.

5MP HD Wired Spotlight Cameras

See intricate details with clarity and precision with these 5MP (Megapixel) (2560 pixels x 1944 pixels) home security cameras. Human motion triggers a bright built-in motion-activated LED spotlight on these wired cameras which wards off trespassers. Human Detection Technology reduces false alerts to your Smart Device, which keeps you apprised of meaningful threats and saves hard drive space. You will experience uninterrupted viewing and recording with no interference from Wi-Fi devices. Internet is only required for remote viewing and receiving alerts to a Smart Device. Lastly, these cameras have Night Vision with up to 100 ft. of visibility to provide the coverage you need.

Facial Capture and Recognition Technology

These home security cameras capture a person’s face from up to 10 ft. away and send Familiar and Unfamiliar alerts to your Smart Device. An internal database lets you put a name to the face. Familiar Face Alerts add names to faces you trust, such as family members, friends, and delivery people. Unfamiliar Face Alerts keep you in the know when a stranger is on your property. Data is stored locally on the DVR's pre-installed hard disk drive (HDD) and never on the Night Owl® cloud.

Human Detection Technology Reduces False Alerts to your Smart Device

The 5MP HD Wired Spotlight cameras use artificial intelligence and advanced algorithms to detect human motion from up to 40 ft. away and send meaningful alerts. Real-time alerts are sent directly to your Smart Device, keeping you connected to your world. Advanced algorithms focus on human movement to reduce false alerts and save valuable hard drive space for recordings that matter. Real-time alerts notify you of human activity as soon as it happens.

Built-in Motion-Activated Spotlights

Stop trespassers in their tracks! Human motion activates the bright spotlight on these Wired home security cameras, adding an extra layer of security and protection. The bright built-in motion-activated spotlight wards off potential intruders, which further enhances your security coverage. You can control the lights from anywhere with our free remote viewing App.

L2 Color Boost® Technology with Night Vision

Hold off the darkness! With Night Owl’s L2 Color Boost® Technology your Wired Spotlight cameras continue recording in full-color as light fades to darkness. These home security cameras capture full-color video in low-light settings, only switching to Night Vision if necessary. The low-light (L2) sensors produce detailed full-color video even as light fades away. When the light fades to darkness, the Wired Spotlight cameras continue recording using black and white Night Vision with up to 100 ft. of visibility.

Remote Viewing with No Monthly Fees

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Face recognition clarify product look for... The night owl system is awesome Make sure you are paying attention to what you're buying a friend of mine bought a camera system and asked me to install it I was really intrigued what the face recognition so I went online to buy the night owl system and wasn't paying attention and it said human detection it didn't specify face recognition make sure when you buy the product it says C5 XF that will clarify that you are purchasing the face recognition and not the human recognition one thing that I wish I did have on my system is the wireless option with the face recognition which is not optional but the but the mobile app is easy and friendly to use I recommend this to anybody just make sure you pay attention to your product

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Overall good system I’ve used night owl for 6 years now and this recent purchase was an upgrade. Overall great product and very reliable. Not a huge fan of the mobile playback options for night owl connect. Can only be reviewed in hour increments which is great but unfortunately on the phone there is no option to fast forward so if the inside the happened at 2:57 I have to watch starting at 2:00 and wait 57 minutes to get the actual footage. Other then that it is an awesome camera and the DVR playback and record is amazing as well as the facial recognition features. Will always stick with night owl and highly recommend

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Can use existing wires, great deal 10 new cameras This is my third Night Owl system. It replaces the 16 camera system I bought four years ago. So far I am pleased and hope to get the same performance from this as the ones in the past. I like that I can still use the existing wires and old cameras. The new cameras have better resolution and night vision. Good deal getting 10 cameras with this system.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great System Night owl products are the best I have had. However the App for Apple needs to be updated to todays standards. It use to be good but now it freezes when trying to view on any phone or tablet. Can't actually view real time movements or playback anything. My internet is the fastest on the market and when using LTE I have full bars, so it's not connectivity issues. Please update your app ASAP.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Value, Easy Install and Dependable I went to purchase a new camera system for my house and looked at many brands and price point. I was replacing a Night Owl System that I owned for ten years. The old Night Owl System served me well so I thought why not buy Night Owl again and get and upgraded unit, it did prove to be very dependable over the years. I purchased the C5XFR2l-161-B and wow, just wow. The cameras technology had advanced very well over the years. The cameras see well into the darkness and at High Definition. New feature like Facial Recognition and LED Spot Lights are just to name a few. I am loving the 2tb Hard Drive DVR with plenty of storage capabilities. Mobil app for remote online viewing and very easy to use installation instructions. Anyone who owns Night Owls will tell you they love them. I Highly Recommend this system.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best system I’ve ever boughr!! I bought this system for my home after a friend recommended that they have this in theirs and love it. I’m so happy I listened. This is without question the best system I’ve ever bought. I’ve been using surveillance systems in my hime and businesses for years. They’re all so complicated to use and the cameras are never why I expected. These cameras are INSANE!! The system itself is so easy to set up and more importantly so easy to use after. I’m so happy with this purchase. I’ll be switching out the systems for my businesses shortly. Thanks Night Owl!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Product/Company Night Owl is definitely one of the best out there. The system is top notch and is my 3rd one I will be buying, as I just wanted better resolution. My old systems are still going strong after 4 years and have never had a problem with them. The only thing I do not like about this system, is that on my previous one, you could search all the cameras at once for motion events. It made playback very easy as this system really only has 2 options. Would be nice to see an update for that, but still a great system.
