Q: What fps does each camera record at? MPEG-4 or H.264 encoding?

A: Good afternoon Christina. Our 720p AHD cameras record at in 720p resolution @ 15fps in H.264 encoding. Thanks for contacting Night Owl.

Q: If I use 8 cameras and record continuously, approximately how many days of recording can fill up an 1 TB hard drive? I like to store 1 month of recordings. Is 1 TB enough or I will need bigger capacity.

A: i have a 2TB night owl Hard drive and have 8 cmaeras as well, i you set the camreas to record 24/7 than its going to chew up the space very fast. The hard drive is a toshiba just like you would find in a very low-end cpu. Unless you are wanting to record the waves in the ocean than your best bet would be to set the camera to record motion only, otherwise you are going to record much of nothing. just think how fast a video you record on your phone takes up space. One video thru one camera 1 min. is about 100mb give or take. So for 8 cameras 24/7 you are looking at a lot of space or you can set the hd to overwrite.. hope this helps

Q: What is the maximum distance the camera can be from the recorder?

A: Good afternoon, Dear customer, the maximum distance that the camers can reach to the DVR unIt is 120 ft, any distance longer than that will require to have a camera power adapter at the camera location to avoid video degradation. Best regards.

Q: What is the distance the camera can be away from the DVR to still work wireless?

A: Good Afternoon, Dear customer, your system is not compatible to accept wireless cameras. Night Owl DVRs will have to be connected physically with the wires enclosed within the package. Best regards.

Q: Can this system be attached to a wireless router versus LAN?

A: No. The unit must be hard wired to the router.

Q: Will this system support multiple PTZ Cameras?

A: Not wireless and i would NOT recommend this brand. Nothing but trouble since install.
