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 1 out of 5 by from I bought my unit just over a year ago and it failed miserably.

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.

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
