Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great upgrade. Upgraded from posiden dvr 8 ch. Big difference. New instructions very simple. Everything worked on first try, including old cameras and iphone. Did not have to call tech support. Very happy.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from DVR-X3-8 Quiet DVR-X3-8 is priced right without a disk drive or cameras. I like it. Installing the hard drive was easy. The new software had a short learning curve. No fan makes the dvr quiet. The old cameras work great. I gave 4 stars because of breaking the warranty label to install the drive. .

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great functionality I had reservations before buying, but I'll surprised at the ease of setup, and use. I have a mixture of cameras that the unit detected and supports. My phone or remote viewing is flawless. Great purchase.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from best camera I've had my nightowl camera for some years, at the time I didn't know how to set it up, but I learned quickly after my neighbor kept thinking my property was hers. The camera setup was a lot easier than I thought, plus the features. I can record live and playback without a subscription. I love the night vision I also downloaded the app on my phone so when I'm at work I can see my house. It's hard to believe how much I've saved between setting it up myself and no subscription, Love it

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good value I have had this for about 2 months. It does a good job. The only coming is the playback on the app is hit and miss but it's always on the DVR

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great product but do your research on deals! I like that it was easy to install but the video on my cell phone freezes. Also, I was really hurt by the fact that WalMart had the same model for 20.00 dollars more but i with new cameras. I must say, I was really disappointed not have been able to take advantage of that deal.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Bad app Easy set up. Cameras work great. Picture looks awesome on the monitor that it’s hooked up to. However, the app is awful, play back isn’t great. It saves as files and you have to go through each of them. The picture on the app is awful also. Definitely needs updated

My memory is full and can’t figure out how to delete stuff 

Asked by: Stevie
By default, the HDD is set to auto-overwrite when the HDD (hard drive) becomes full. If you adjusted that setting, then you will need to re-format the HDD each time it becomes full. Please refer to your product manual for more information. https://support.nightowlsp.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000248488
