HI GUYS,
If you’re looking for higher video quality and a wider range of products, Lorex might be the better choice.

If you’re interested in a wired system and Google Assistant compatibility, Night Owl could be the way to go.
It’s always a good idea to consider what features are most important to you and choose accordingly.
