Q: What is the maximum distance for the night vision?

A: This system includes eight cameras.
Q: What is the storage type for the recordings?
A: The recordings are stored on the recorder’s hard drive.
Q: Does the system support recording audio?
A: This security system records audio.
Q: Are there any subscription fees for using the mobile app?
A: This system is a one-time purchase and there are no hidden costs.
Q: Can the system be set up without connecting a TV or monitor?
A: This system offers secure app-based Bluetooth setup, so there is no need to connect a TV or monitor for setup or viewing.
A: Thank you for the question and happy to help. This system includes a 2TB HD for local recording. There is not an easy way to estimate max recording as you have the ability to record 24/7 or via event based recording. As a guideline though, if all were recording at all times you could assume at least 5 days of full recording before prior footage would be over-written. Once a clip has been identified you also can remove via USB drive to store safely for future use. We also offer 4TB solutions should longer duration be of value to you. Thanks, Night Owl SP Digital Support Team
Q: Can I use my existing older night owl camera cables with this newer system or are they different?
A: Yes—as long as they are Ethernet (Cat5e or Cat6) cables. PoE NVR systems use Ethernet cables only to carry both power and video. Older BNC/coax cables will not work with a PoE NVR.

Easy set up. Picture is good although I still cannot read license plates going by. I had a hard time setting the sensitivity using the slider button. It kept reverting back to High Sensitivity even though I saved it. I selected the appropriate areas not to record then used the Vehicle, Person, Motion and Face for my settings depending on camera location and that seemed to set my sensitivity. The previous Night Owl system I had lasted 10 years. Hope I can get at least 5 years out of this one before I have to replace it. I do recommend.

Needed to upgrade our old camera system after 8 years. These night owl cameras are everything we were looking for and more! The spotlights are a very nice feature that our previous system did not have. We also really like that they say Smile, you're being recorded, great way to keep unwanted visitors away from your home. Would recommend this system to anyone looking to add some extra security and peace of mind.
