  • 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.

Questions & Answers

  • I need to run at least 2 to 4 cameras 1300 feet away from the DVR. Will the cameras work properly at that distance and does it need to be one continuous cable or can they have couplers in them? Also, can I run the multiple cameras on one cable?

    We appreciate your question. For the best performance, our wired 1080p cameras should be installed within about 300 feet of the DVR. Running them 1,300 feet away is well beyond the supported distance and will result in video loss, power drop, or no signal at all. A few important notes: • Cable distance: 1,300 ft is far outside the range for analog BNC cameras. To cover that distance, you would need network-based equipment with PoE and signal boosters, which this system is not designed for. • One continuous cable: Even within normal distances, we recommend using one continuous cable. Couplers can introduce interference and reduce signal quality. At 1,300 ft, couplers will not make the distance viable. • One cable per camera: Each wired camera requires its own dedicated cable for both power and video. Multiple cameras cannot be run on a single cable. Thank you for considering Night Owl. Night Owl SP Digital Support Team

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

    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

  • 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.

    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

  • what cabling is required is it only cat 5?

    Thank you for reaching out! The Night Owl 20-Channel, 12-Camera Wired 1080p DVR Security System uses BNC cables for video transmission, along with separate power cables. It does not require Cat 5 (Ethernet) cables to connect the cameras to the DVR. Each camera comes with a 60-foot video/power cable, and the system includes the necessary power adapters and splitters for setup. If you already have BNC cabling in place, you can easily upgrade to this system without needing to replace your wiring. Let us know if you have any other questions—we’re happy to help! - Night Owl SP Digital Support Team
