Night Owl FTD4-82-8L 2-Way Audio 12 Channel DVR Video Home Security Camera System: 2-way audio communication
Meet the Night Owl 2-Way Audio 12 Channel DVR Video Home Security Camera System—your new eyes and ears around the house (or office). It's packing 8 wired 2K HD cameras right out of the box, so you can catch every squirrel, delivery person, or would-be intruder in crystal-clear detail. And if you're the type who believes more is always better, you're in luck: the system's got room to grow, supporting up to 12 channels. That means you can add 4 more wired cameras and even toss in 4 Wi-Fi ones for those hard-to-reach spots.
Ever wanted to tell a porch pirate to take a hike without leaving your couch? With 2-way audio, you can do just that—straight from your phone, thanks to the free app. And with a 2TB hard drive, you'll have plenty of space to store all those 'gotcha' moments. Plus, the secure wired connection means your footage stays between you and your DVR. Oh, and when the sun goes down, no problem: night vision up to 100 feet has got you covered. Tweak the adjustable frame rates to your heart's content, and let the preset audio alerts do the scaring for you.
Setting it up? Easier than assembling flat-pack furniture (and way more satisfying). It's all above board, too, meeting NDAA and FCC safety standards so you can sleep soundly. And the best part? No mandatory fees—just solid, dependable security that won't break the bank. Peace of mind? Priceless.

My first impression was that this system does the job but it isnt perfect I set it up around my home to keep an eye on things and for the most part it works fine The video is clear during the day and at night I can see quite well though not always to the full distance advertised I use the two way audio to chat with delivery folks but it isnt always clear and there is a slight delay which annoys me The app is free which is good but it can be glitchy sometimes making me wonder if I made the right choice I added a couple more cameras and it was okay but the wiring is a bit messy For someone who values reliability and ease this could be better but it is affordable and meets basic needs I might be wrong but I expected more from a brand like this given my experience with other gadgets It does provide some peace of mind but with a few quirks that keep it from being excellent
- Pros: I quite liked that it came with eight cameras already and I could add more later which is handy for covering the whole place The picture is clear enough to see details like faces or animals and the night vision works well in the dark The two way audio lets me talk to people outside from my phone which is useful and the storage holds a lot of video without extra costs Setting it up was easier than I expected and it feels secure with proper safety standards
- Cons: The audio quality when speaking through the system could be better as it sometimes sounds a bit muffled or delayed which is frustrating for a perfectionist like me I wish the app was more intuitive and reliable as it occasionally freezes or disconnects making it hard to rely on Adding the extra cameras might be a hassle with wires and setup and the night vision range is decent but not as far as I hoped in some spots Overall it feels a bit basic and not as polished as I expected for the price
