When life gets hard, make your security easy. Introducing our 4K 2-Way Audio DVR Security System. With secure app-based Bluetooth setup, there is no need to connect a TV or monitor for setup or viewing (optional). Easily set up the system right from the convenience of your mobile device. Your 4K cameras have full color day viewing and full color night vision up to 100 ft., which provides colorful recordings that capture every detail. With a bright built-in spotlight, you can light up the dark and ward off unwanted guests. For situations where seeing is not enough, easily make your voice heard. With 2-way audio you can listen and talk with anyone who approaches, making your presence known. Still not enough? Use our preset voice alerts and booming camera siren to shout a warning when a suspicious stranger nears. You will receive key alerts to your mobile device for important matters, such as people and vehicles as they arrive and depart. All recordings and personal data are privately stored on the recorder’s hard drive for secure access with zero costs. Your privacy matters and your recordings and for your eyes only. Built for outdoor use, your cameras can handle anything mother nature throws their way, from extreme heat and cold, to rain or sleet. Use them indoors or outdoors to cover what you want, when you want. Need more coverage? Easily add our compatible wired, Wi-Fi IP and doorbell cameras to your recorder to boost your viewing area. This system is a one-time purchase and there are no hidden costs. Use our free mobile app for iOS and Android Smart Devices to stay connected and easily access your recordings with no fees.

Q: QuestionHello. What is the field of view of these cameras?(1 answer)
A: AnswerThank you for the question and happy to help. The FoV for these cameras is 80 degrees. Hope this helps. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks, Night Owl SP Digital Support TeamAnswered by Night Owl
Q: QuestionCan I connect locally to this DVR from my PC on my wireless network without Internet?(1 answer)
A: AnswerThank you for the question and happy to help. You can connect directly to the DVR via the included mouse and HDMI out cable if your computer monitor has available input. To use your computer to access and control the system entirely you'll need the DVR wired to the internet to access though. For optimal security the system creates it's own secure connection to our servers and those require internet to access via other device (mobile, tablet, computer). Thanks, Night Owl SP Digital Support TeamAnswered by Night Owl
Q: QuestionCan this system be tied into the internet so I can view cameras on my phone?(1 answer)
A: AnswerThank you for the question and happy to help. Yes, you are able to wire the recorder to internet and then will be able to view from your phone using our app with no fees. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks, Night Owl SP Digital Support TeamAnswered by Night Owl
- A: AnswerThank you for the questions and happy to help as you evaluate systems. You have the option to run continuous recording or just event based recording. You can control this via the system settings. Also, you can save events as long as you'd like to but we advise using a USB flash drive to export important events for safe keeping separately on another drive. The record time is dependent on a number of settings you will have control over. Each can impact the duration of recording. With a 2TB drive you should be able to continuously record multiple days without issue, but specific duration is not easily determined. Thanks, Night Owl SP Digital Support Team

Q: QuestionDoes Best Buy install these systems?(1 answer)
A: AnswerThank you for the question. That would be a question to ask the Best Buy Geek Squad. We would assume so, but will have to defer to that team for a definitive answer. Sorry we couldn't be of more help. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Always happy to help. Thanks, Night Owl SP Digital Support TeamAnswered by Night Owl

False advertisement
I bought this system because it says on the box and in the specifications that it works with google home assistant. It will not connect to google home. I paid almost $500 for this and paid the installers $800 to install all 6 cameras. I don't have money like that. Now I'm stuck with something I don't want because of false advertisement. I also spent another $65 on a nest hud with google assistant. Money wasted. You people should be ashame of yourselves. Now I have to pay another $800 to have it removed andcsend it back. I guess I should stuck ring and alexa.
