Night Owl is excited to offer our U.S. designed and engineered 4K HD Bluetooth network video recorder with wired IP 4K 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). Our patent pending recorder has built-in Bluetooth technology, making it easy for you to configure your system right from the app on your smartphone or tablet. 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 2-way audio (talk & listen) as well as a 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. Have a guest but can’t get to them? 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 dual spotlights flood your yard with bright lights when human motion is detected, instantly warding off trespassers.

Q: Questionare these continuous recording or only motion detection(3 answers)
A: AnswerAs soon as motion is detected it begins to record to same disc space, but you can set it to record 24/7Answered by Theman
Q: QuestionWhat all comes in the box?(2 answers)
A: Answer6 4K cameras with mounting hardware, 6 black 60' CAT5e patch cables and a mouse + HDMI cable (Both mouse and HDMI are useless and too short by the way, I used my own) Note that typically wireless mice will not work with these systems so be aware. And the NVR with integrated POE switch and a 2TB drive. Also, some crappy short patch cables but again I used my own. It has to be CAT5e or CAT6 so be aware. The NVR software is VERY, almost too, SIMPLE. Not many options.Answered by WildBill
- A: AnswerGreat question. You can view the system from the app and from a TV or monitor. You can do both at the same time or choose your preferred method. To setup and view the system from the app on your Smart Device you will need to connect the DVR to your router or working network access point via Ethernet cable. To view on a TV or monitor (1080p minimum) you would simply connect the DVR using the provided HDMI cable. Thank you for choosing Night Owl!

Answered by Night Owl
- A: AnswerIt does loop back and record over older videos but this is pretty standard with recording devices of most kinds. It does have options or settings for what it should do once storage is full.

Better than nothing
Bought it on sale. Good for the price and better than nothing. If you have the money, I would suggest a different set up. Camera's constantly detecting motion that is not there. Night vision is good but no matter if it is day or night if someone is moving even very slowly, there is soo much motion blur you cannot tell who it is, they have to completely stop to get a good view of them to be able to make out who it is.

Buy a different brand
Worked great for a little over a year then became a door stop. Unit restarted on it's own and then froze on the startup screen. Incompetent customer service tried to help me for over an hour before telling me they would replace it. A follow up email let me know that it was out of warranty, so there was nothing that they could do. Don't waste your money on any night owl product unless you pay for the extended warranty.

Its alright...
Very nice picture quality. Lots of false alerts. Sometimes doesnt alert you. Can only do a playback from the DVR unless it was an "Event". So that kinda sucks. Apps easy to use. It has 2 way microphones which are fun to use to fuss as the dogs.
