  • QuestionDo these have to be professionally installed? If the cameras are connected to the DVR by wires then how do you run the wires outside?

    Asked by Bunny.

    • Answer Hi there! Night Owl wired security systems are designed for DIY installation, so professional installation isn’t required (though it’s always an option if you prefer). The cameras connect to the DVR using BNC cables (included in the box). These cables provide both video and power, so you only need one line per camera. To run them outdoors, most customers: Route the cables through a small hole in a wall or soffit, Or run them through an attic, crawl space, or conduit for a clean and weather-protected setup. Each camera is rated for indoor/outdoor use, so as long as the connections are protected from direct water exposure, you’ll be good to go. — Night Owl SP Digital Support Team

  • QuestionDoes this system have a zoom feature?

    Asked by Dave.

    • Answer Yes — this Night Owl 12 Channel 8 Camera Wired 4K 2TB DVR Security System does include a digital zoom feature. When viewing live or recorded footage through the Night Owl app or directly on a connected monitor, you can pinch to zoom (on mobile) or use the mouse to zoom in digitally on specific areas of the image. However, the included cameras do not have optical zoom lenses — meaning the zoom is digital only, which enlarges the image but does not physically adjust the lens. — Night Owl SP Digital Support Team

  • QuestionThis says its 12 Channels but the photo of the back of the DVR only shows 8 plugs. Where do extra cameras (if I decide to purchase more) get plugged into?

    Asked by Mike.

    • Answer Thank you for the question any happy to help. This system is a 12 channel (8+4) recorder. 8 wired connections are available with 4 more via Wi-Fi connection. Best Buy doesn't allow for the text we typically include on imagery so we apologize for the confusion as we would normally clarify on the corresponding image.

  • Questionwhat is the best outdoor wired home security system? Is it Nigh Owl or another brand? Eight cameras max, wired, 4K, 2TB

    Asked by security.

    • Answer Thank you for the question and happy to help. While we cannot speak for other brands we are proud of what we offer in video security solutions. We pride ourselves on being an American owned and operated company that doesn't monetize your data. Our systems ensure that you control your recordings and we require ZERO monthly fees for you to fully enjoy your system and all features.
