"P" irises feature additional capabilities for improving footage clarity.)
- Image Sensor Type: CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)

A: Yes I bought a 150ft extensions from home depot for around $60 for 4(comes with adapters too)
Q: Will your system work with Starlink satellie for the internet connection? Thanks, SS
A: Thank you for the question and happy to support. The system will work with a hardwired connection to internet for secure feed and remote access. The key consideration would be your bandwidth limitations with any connection. If you are confident in the ability of your network to stream high quality video then you should be set for our system.

A: Any monitor with HDMI capabilities. I use my TV.
Q: 8 cameras standard resolution how many days can keep in memory?
A: Depends on how high you have the sensors. But I have 4 and have them on human and vehicle and get a week. So you should get about half that with double the cameras. But they offer a online storage also. Not sure how long they stay on the cloud. This answer is just for the 1tb that comes with the unit.
Q: What is the distance the camera records?
A: Thank you for the question and happy to help. With clear line of sight these cameras can record up to 300 ft. Obstructions and lighting do play a factor though if present. Thanks, Night Owl SP Digital Support Team
A: My husband and I can log in to our phones simultaneously. I'm unsure how many more can do the same, as only we need to have access.

Highly Recommend Surveillance System
This security camera system is great! The quality of the picture is great during the day and the night vision. These are wired cameras, so you will have to have someone who can run the wires to install the cameras where you want them if you can’t do it yourself. The set up of the DVR is easy. It’s super easy to install and setup the app on your phone. There isn’t a month fee or anything that cost extra unlike some other products. You can view live streaming video from anywhere your at. You can set up the system to record continuously or only record certain activity. So not only can it record continuously but You have the option to have it record only human activity, vehicles or you can have it record when any movement is detected. The quality of these cameras are great! These have an option you can set up for the spotlight to come on when motion is detected. It also has an option to have audio alerts or sirens to make sounds upon motion being detected. One of the things I also like is that by using the phone app, you can speak to someone through the cameras via two way audio. You can not get a better quality system for the price! I highly recommend this product!

No bells or whistles but does the job.
The quality of the video and night vision is good. Cameras are meant to be hung upside down, they dont have 360 rotation. These don't come with facial recognition. It's constantly notifying me that a human was dectected - sometimes I can't see anything changing in the videos and sometimes its a cat or spider. Don't have the ability to speak through the camera, only with presets. Everything on the back of the DVR is so close together its difficult to get your hands in there to screw and plug in.
