Q: Does this DVR work with older night owl cameras

A: Please check the device's support page for compatibility charts.

Q: CAN NIGHTOWL CAMERA BE USED WITHOUT DVR

A: No, the cameras must be connected to the DVR.

Q: Hi I want to switch my box that I currently have which is a night owl dvr dp2-161-TW1. Want to know if I switch my cameras to this box will it work?

A: Hi Tee. It would depend on what new recorder you are connecting the cameras to. Please call 1-866-979-0580 or email [email protected] to discuss compatible models. One of our agents will gladly assist. Thank you!

Q: Can this be used with spectrum cable tv?

A: Hi Pam. This system can be viewed on a TV monitor using the provided HDMI cable. You would then simply tune to that HDMI input to view the cameras. But it cannot be incorporated into your cable subscription. Thank you!

Q: Are people still experiencing problems with the software? Other than that how are they? how is the clarity at night?

A: Good afternoon and thank you for reaching out. We do not currently have any issues with our app or CMS (control management software). This is a 1080p standalone DVR, so you would need to add compatible Night Owl cameras (up to 1080p) to it. The image quality of our cameras is extremely clear day or night (up to 100 ft. of Night Vision with most cameras). Thank you for shopping Night Owl!
