- Camera Iris: Manual (The iris is the opening on a camera that controls how much light reaches its image sensor, which in turn affects image/video clarity. Fixed and manual irises are generally suited for locations with consistent levels of light. Automatic and "P" (precise) irises automatically adjust in response to changing levels of light and are suited for a wider variety of environments. "P" irises feature additional capabilities for improving footage clarity.)
- Image Sensor Type: CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)

Whats Included
- 12 Channel 8 Camera Wired 2K 1TB DVR Security System with 2-way Audio
Q: Can I watch live on the app away from the camera location?
A: Thank you for the question and happy to help. You have a number of options to select from with this system. If you wish to view live feed you can. You may also enable mobile alerts to notify you when motion is detected which you can review and even communicate via the cameras 2 way-audio. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Night Owl SP Digital Support
A: Any monitor with HDMI capabilities. I use my TV.
Q: Can you add to the 60 foot cables to go further out?
A: Yes I bought a 150ft extensions from home depot for around $60 for 4(comes with adapters too)
Q: Will your system work with Starlink satellie for the internet connection? Thanks, SS
A: Thank you for the question and happy to support. The system will work with a hardwired connection to internet for secure feed and remote access. The key consideration would be your bandwidth limitations with any connection. If you are confident in the ability of your network to stream high quality video then you should be set for our system. Multiple settings will give you options for constant recording or event based recording that can help reduce the strain on your bandwidth also. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks, Night Owl SP Digital Support Team
Q: Does this system integrate to Google Home so I can see via the app of the next hubs?
A: Thank you for the question and happy to help. Yes, this system is compatible with Google Assistant and related apps. Night Owl SP Digital Support Team
Q: How Much can it record before recording over itself?
A: You have a number of options to select from that will impact how long you can record. Motion activated record vs continuous record is the most impactful. Clips can be exported for safe keeping and to ensure any new recordings don't cause you to lose key footage. We advise exporting key moments via USB drive that can be attached to the recorder for safe keeping. On continuous record you should expect 7+ days while with motion only record you will get much more time before the storage begins over old footage. Thanks, Night Owl SP Support Team
Q: 8 cameras standard resolution how many days can keep in memory?
A: Depends on how high you have the sensors. But I have 4 and have them on human and vehicle and get a week. So you should get about half that with double the cameras. But they offer a online storage also. Not sure how long they stay on the cloud. This answer is just for the 1tb that comes with the unit.
Q: Does the dvr have wireless network connectivity
A: No — this DVR does not have wireless (Wi-Fi) network connectivity. It uses wired BNC connections for the cameras and must be connected to your router with an Ethernet cable for remote viewing and mobile alerts. Initial setup is handled through Bluetooth in the Night Owl app, but the system operates on a wired network connection. — Night Owl SP Digital Support Team
