Q: What is the storage capacity of the DVR?

A: The DVR storage capacity is 1000 gigabytes.

A: This security system does have night vision.

A: This system is a one-time purchase and there are no hidden costs.

Q: How many cameras are included in the system?

A: The security system includes twelve cameras.

Q: Is 60’ the longest cable option? What cable options are there for 100’ runs?

A: Great question! The standard Night Owl wired camera systems typically come with 60 ft. BNC cables, but we do offer longer cable options for extended runs. You can find our official 100 ft. cable here: https://nightowlsp.com/products/100-ft-video-power-cable-for-all-wired-bnc-cameras If you need help choosing the right option for your setup, our support team is happy to assist! — Night Owl SP Digital Support Team

Q: How long does the DVR save recordings? I currently have a Swan system and thinking of changing. Our DVR saves all recordings for 60 days.

A: Hi there, thanks for your question! The length of time recordings are saved on the DVR depends on several factors, including the size of the hard drive, the number of cameras recording, resolution settings, and whether motion-only or continuous recording is used. With standard settings, a 1TB DVR typically stores several days to a few weeks of footage. For extended storage, you can either adjust recording settings to conserve space or upgrade to a larger hard drive, depending on your needs. If you'd like help tailoring a setup that meets your recording timeline, feel free to reach out at support.nightowlsp.com. Best regards, Night Owl SP Digital Support Team

  • Rated 3 out of 5 stars

    Returned immediately upon unboxing.

    Admittedly, we didn’t even hook them up and experience camera quality and interface. Cameras were light/flimsy plastic and only adjustable up down no adjustment left right. These shortcomings made it obsolete for our installation requirements.
