Q: QuestionCan the Cameras be powered through P.O.E?
Asked by Tina.
- A:Answer Thank you for the question and happy to help. Technically P.O.E. only works with NVR systems that employ ethernet (E) cable which we offer and are happy to provide a recommendation if you'd like. This system is DVR based recorder and indeed does provide power via the included cabling back at the recorder location, but is not technically POE. Please let us know if we may provide any additional support. Thanks, Night Owl SP Digital Support Team

Q: QuestionWhy do the cameras are showing night vision mode during the day? I just bought them like a month ago and they are having this issue since the beginning. The only way I can get them to show color mode is by disconnecting them and plugging them back in.

- A:Answer Thank you for the question and happy to help. Trying to answer your question but not certain what exactly you are asking. This system includes the DVR recorder with 1TB HD that will maintain all of your footage. We also offer cameras that can act as stand alone (no recorder needed) but would require either microSD storage or cloud based storage (for a fee) to maintain recordings.

Q: QuestionHow long does it take for the 1tb to fill ip before it stops recording?
Asked by Sheyenne.
This question was asked about the related product: Night Owl - 12 Channel 4 Camera Wired 2K 1TB DVR Security System with 2-way Audio - White
- A:Answer You have a number of options to select from that will impact how long you can record. Motion activated record vs continuous record is the most impactful. Clips can be exported for safe keeping and to ensure any new recordings don't cause you to lose key footage. We advise exporting key moments via USB drive that can be attached to the recorder for safe keeping. On continuous record you should expect 7+ days while with motion only record you will get much more time before the storage begins over old footage. Thanks, Night Owl SP Support Team
