Can I upgrade the 2TB hard drive to a WD Purple 8TB hard drive?
Answered by Night OwlHi Tilley. Yes, this DVR supports up to an 8TB internal hard drive. A 3.5-inch SATA surveillance-grade hard drive, such as a WD Purple, is recommended for continuous security recording.
I have lorex bnc wired cameras, dvr lost 4 channels and I want to see if I can use my lorex bnc 4k cameras from lorex model D861, on a night owl dvr?
Answered by Night OwlThank you for reaching out! While Lorex BNC cameras may physically connect to a Night Owl DVR, we cannot guarantee compatibility with third-party cameras. Night Owl DVRs are designed and tested to work with compatible Night Owl cameras, and features or video may not function properly with cameras from other brands. If you're looking to reuse your existing cameras, we'd be happy to help you find a compatible Night Owl solution. Otherwise, we recommend using Night Owl cameras with the Night Owl DVR to ensure full functionality and the best performance.
Can I use with my Wisnet cameras
Answered by Night OwlUnfortunately, no — the Night Owl 20-Channel Wired 4K 2TB DVR Security System is not compatible with Wisnet cameras. This DVR is designed to work only with compatible Night Owl wired cameras that use the same proprietary signaling and firmware. Third-party brands like Wisnet will not pair or record properly, even if the cables look similar.
Can this system be programmed to automatically move files to an external hard drive? Or do I need to periodically do it myself?
Answered by Night OwlThis system does not support automatic or scheduled file transfers to an external hard drive. You would need to manually back up footage by connecting a compatible external USB hard drive to the DVR and exporting the recordings as needed through the on-screen menu. The internal 2TB hard drive records continuously on its own, so most customers only back up clips they want to save long-term or share. If you’re looking for help with the export steps or compatible drive recommendations, we’re happy to help.
Does the system provide and record audio from the cameras? Does the system support PTZ?
Answered by Night OwlGot it — here’s the corrected response with PTZ support included: Yes, this system supports audio when using compatible Night Owl 2-Way Audio cameras, and the DVR will record that audio as well as allow you to hear and speak through the app. This model also supports PTZ control for a wired PTZ camera connected to one of the DVR’s wired channels. — Night Owl SP Digital Support Team
