Whats Included

Night Owl Extreme HD 8-Channel, 8-Camera Wired 1TB DVR Surveillance System

Q: Do these have audio?

A: These Night Owl cameras are not audio ready, however, you may purchase our Night Owl Microphone and connect it to one of your cameras so you may record audio. Thank you for choosing Night Owl.

Q: Is there a monthly fee?

A: With Night Owl, there are no monthly fees for using the Night Owl services. All recordings will be within the internal HDD, you will be able to view the content at any time. Also, you are able to view your system remotely from your smart device by downloading the Night Owl Application. Thank you for choosing Night Owl.

Q: Do these cameras record in color or are they black and white only?

A: Good Afternoon, our Night Owl Cameras, included in this system, will record in color during day time and will automatically switch to black and white during night time. Thank you for choosing Night Owl.

Q: WHAT KIND OF MONITOR CAN I USE ON MY NIGHT OWL EXTREME 8-CHANNEL DVR. MODEL- XHD301-84P

A: The cameras are 1080p, so you should connect them to any TV or monitor that has a minimum 1080p resolution. The exact brand is not relevant. So long as the TV or monitor has an HDMI or VGA port. Thank you for choosing Night Owl!

Q: How many cables come with the 8 cameras and how long are each of the cables?

A: 8 Cables and 60Ft Long

Q: Do these cameras have color pictures?

A: Yes, these cameras records the video in color during the daytime and black and white during night.

Q: What happens when the 1 TB is full ? Is it going to overwrite it ?

A: The drive is meant to store your data for a period of time and then the system will write over the oldest data. It's essentially a loop. So if you're getting five days worth of storage, it starts over at the beginning after the five days. If you want it to store for a longer period of time, you have to get a bigger storage device or you have to change the parameters of the recording. You can make the cameras only record when there is movement and then further change the parameters of the sensitivity to only sense bigger movements before recording. Those changes will extend the amount of recording time on your drive. Good luck!

Q: can the hdmi signal be split and run to 2 different monitors?

A: With the Night Owl DVR, it provides you an HDMI output to connect to one monitor; you may attempt to use an HDMI splitter to connect multiple monitors/TVs to the DVR. Please keep in mind that even by using an HDMI the system will continue to provide the same signal. Also, Night Owl is not able to guarantee compatibility with any third-party accessories. For any additional questions, feel free to contact us by calling 1-866-979-0580. Thank you for choosing Night Owl.

Not bad
For months I've been looking for security cameras for our home but didn't want to spend 500 plus for some that I wasn't sure if they would meet my wants. But then I came across a black Friday deal for 200 bucks and figured eh what the heck I'd give them a try and i think they are really great for the price. The were kinda of a pain to hook up because of the wires but I wanted these because of that, I was of interference w the wireless ones. On top of that I love the idea that u can use ur phone or laptop to check the cameras anytime of the day or night which is great when were away from the house or even in bed not wanting to get up, definitely peace of mind. I would definitely recommend these to a friend wanting peace of mind. Also the night vision isn't bad at all eather I'm adding a picture so u can see that.

Buyer beware
First purchased in April of 2017. Everything was ok until one day in December of same year we came in and there was no picture coming from the camera's. The Night Owl DVR showed power was going to it but no video feed was coming through. We plugged a different computer into our monitor to make sure that was not the issue, it wasn't. We plugged the Night Owl DVR into a different computer (to double check) still nothing. Called Night Owl and they had me try unplugging and re-plugging in of all cords, nothing worked. They said they think it was our network. Now mind you it did work for 9 months on this network without a problem. As this is a business, I could not be without a security system. I ordered another night owl December 26th 2017. About 4 months later it started giving us issues, Called night owl again and they had me do the same thing as the first call. It did start working again after my 2 hr phone call but could not pull up wirelessly on phone. Decided that was not a big deal and let it go. Now we have had the second night owl for 1 yr and 2 months and it has stopped working yet again. Night Owl informed me it was out of warranty and they would be happy to upgrade me to a different system, at MY expense. I don't usually write bad reviews as I think they are mostly written out of anger but this time I wanted to make others aware. Unless you want to be on the phone every 6 months for 1 plus hours of hold time and no help on their device, I would look elsewhere. If they would have, in any of the 3 times I had a problem told me, Let me get you a new DVR to see if that works I wouldn't be so upset. Instead they pretty much told me, sorry your problem. The cameras seemed to work ok when the DVR was working, Night vision worked pretty well also. That was why I purchased the second one in the first place. It doesn't hold much on the 1 TB HDD without us having to buy an additional Hard drive for storage. We always had a problem pulling up camera feed either live or past from away from the office. As a business owner, I can assure you this product is not worth the frustration and hours of phone calls it required to have it operate properly. I should also share that I have a Night Owl X at home for our home security, that one is wireless. I can't have a camera more than 15ft away from receiver or it can not connect. Putting it outside your house is next to impossible. Live feed on my phone doesn't work 1/2 the time with this Night Owl X neither. I am usually a pretty easy going person but at this point I can guarantee I will by a whole new system and re-wire everything before I would spend another dime on a Night Owl.
