Night Owl is excited to offer our U.S. designed and engineered 1080p HD Bluetooth digital video recorder with customizable storage. With secure app-based Bluetooth setup, there is no need to connect a TV or monitor for setup or viewing. You can easily configure your system right from the app on your smartphone or tablet with the Bluetooth connection. While a TV or monitor is not required, with Google Assistant you can use simple voice commands to stream camera footage directly to your TV or monitor, all while remaining hands free. When used with compatible cameras, smart detection technology including human detection, facial capture, and vehicle alerts reduce the risk of false alarms, keeping you safe and well protected. Facial capture lets you see who is on your property by snapping a photo and sending the image to your smart device. Proudly designed and engineered in the USA, our security DVR uses a wired connection for uninterrupted viewing with no delays. Our app gives you control of your DVR and easy access to your recordings, regardless of where you are. Night Owl never charges fees for storage or access to your videos. All recordings are securely stored on a pre-installed hard drive for convenience (hard drive not included with all models). You can view and download the recordings as you need them. This system provides the latest technology to give you the ultimate security experience. NOTE: This DVR is compatible with our DP2 series wired cameras and WNIP2 series Wi-Fi devices.
