Night Owl is excited to offer our U.S. designed and engineered 1080p HD Bluetooth Digital Video Recorder with Wired 1080p HD Spotlight Cameras and Pre-Installed Hard Drive. With Secure App-Based Bluetooth Setup, there is no need to connect a TV or monitor for setup or viewing (optional). You can easily configure your system right from the app on your smartphone or tablet with the Bluetooth connection. While a TV or monitor is not required, with Google Assistant you can use simple voice commands to stream camera footage directly to your TV or monitor, all while remaining hands free. Each camera has 1-way audio (speaker) which works with our built-in siren and preset voice alerts. From within the app, you can easily activate the built-in siren, startling intruders and sending them packing. Use a preset voice alert to let them know! Smart Detection Technology including Human Detection, Facial Capture and Vehicle Alerts reduce the risk of false alarms, keeping you safe and well protected. Facial Capture lets you see who is on your property by snapping a photo and sending the image to your Smart Device. Motion-activated spotlights flood your yard with bright lights when human motion is detected, instantly warding off trespassers.
Q: Can they be set to record 24/7 or only with motion activation?
A: Yes, you can switch the recording mode from motion to continuous, to record 24/7. Keep in mind, this will eat through your available hard drive space at a much quicker rate. Once the hard drive becomes full, it is set to auto-overwrite old footage. Thank you for choosing Night Owl!
Q: Weather wise how durable are these. Do they hold up in extreme cold temps, rain and snow?
A: The cameras are weather resistant and durable, but should always be placed under an awning or eave. Also, as per the stated specifications: Minimum Operating Temperature is -4 degrees fahrenheit, Maximum Operating Temperature is 140 degrees fahrenheit.
Q: Do these cameras record audio
A: Hi Mizzy. No, these cameras do not record audio. They have 1-way audio (speaker), which can be used with our preset voice messages and siren. But they do not detect or record audio. Thank you!
Q: Want to replace Night Owl 8ch XHD 5.0 DVR 2-TB HDD 12V. Do you have any?
A: Thank you for the question and happy to help. That model of recorder has been discontinued and replaced with newer technology. Key to replacing a recorder is knowing what cameras are attached. If you can determine the model of cameras you are using we can work to see what replacement recorder could work. If you would like help with that, you can reach out to our upgrade team via [email protected] and they will support you. They also will have a loyalty reward towards your next purchase. Thanks, Night Owl SP Digital Support Team
A: Thank you for the question and happy to assist as you evaluate video security solutions. Typical downed wire power outages last 2-3 hours unless major storm damage has occurred in the area. Something that lasts 6-8 hours should cover your needs but ultimately you should go with whatever you feel most confident with. Our localized storage will ensure you have footage available for your property. Thanks, Night Owl SP Support team
