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.

A: There is CMS software available for download on the device's support page which will allow you to view on a Mac or PC.

Q: does this record TV programs to view at a later date?

A: No, this is a security DVR that records security cameras.

Q: Will this system work with my 4 year old cameras?

A: Please go to your cameras support page for a compatibilty chart.

Q: What is the largest Hard Drive size this DVR can take?

A: You can add up to an 8TB compatible hard drive.

Q: Is this device compatible with q.see cameras

A: Unfortunately, Night Owl is not able to guarantee compatibility with any 3rd party brands. Often, cameras of the same technology will function with our systems, but we make no assurances. We can only ensure that our products will function with compatible Night Owl product. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Q: Does this DVR have to be hard wired to the network or can it connect to the network via bluetooth or wireless? I am looking to replace an existing system that connects to my existing cameras but connects to my internet wirelessly. Does this DVR do that?

A: For the Internet connection, the DVR must be hardwired to your router or network access point via Ethernet cable. The Bluetooth is used for initial setup and allows you to add the recorder to the app and get everything configured from the app on your smartphone or tablet. However, to remotely view your system from a mobile device and to get automatic firmware updates, the DVR needs to be hardwired to your network. Thank you for choosing Night Owl!

Q: Will this DVR work with an antenna for local channels or do you have to have tv with your Internet connection to use it? I have a smart tv. Trying to reduce my monthly digital expenses with minimum sacrifice.

A: Hi Karen. This is a security DVR, to be used with compatible Night Owl security cameras. It is not intended to be used with tv recordings. You would need to contact your cable provider for that. Thank you for the question!
