QuestionCan the 1TB be expanded or replaced with something bigger, like 5TB? How many days of recording can a 1TB hold, typically? Can I view video on my phone?
Asked 3 years ago by MzEngineer.
- Answer Yes, the pre-installed 1TB HDD can be upgraded. The DVR can accommodate up to a 12TB internal SATA HDD 2.5" or 3.5" with a min. 7200RPM. How many days vary widely, based on where the cameras are installed, how many motion events they detect and many of the system's settings, such as resolution and number of connected cameras (this DVR can hold up to 12). Yes, you can view your cameras from a smartphone or tablet using the free Night Owl Protect App. Please view your product support page for more setup related information.

QuestionCan you turn the spotlight off? We spend a lot of time outside by the fire where one camera would go. It would be annoying if the spotlight is motion detectable without an option to turn it off. Thank you
Asked 3 years ago by loni.
- Answer Yes, the spotlight can be disabled for one or more cameras if desired. This can be done at the DVR/NVR level or remotely via the App. This may come in handy for cameras that are installed inside the home, or during special events where you anticipate a lot of camera activity. For more information on disabling the spotlight, please refer to your product's support material on our support site, linked below.

QuestionDoes this system require a monitor for setup? Would I be able to use my smartphone or tablet instead?
Asked 3 years ago by Gozer.
- Answer This particular system does require a monitor for initial setup, as you must proceed through the Startup Wizard. However, we do have Bluetooth enabled systems that do not require a monitor. See the following link for one option.

Questiondo you sell power/comm cables longer than 60 ft? i would need to run a distance of 100'.
Asked 3 years ago by longercablelength.
- Answer With our wired DVRs, we do not recommend exceeding 160 ft. utilizing BNC cabling. The cameras with this kit include 60 ft. cables and we sell the 100 ft. extensions on our sales site. If you need to go further than that, we would recommend purchasing our video balun and using a single Ethernet cable run (up to 300 ft.). Please view the links below for more information. Thank you! 100 ft. Extension Cable (https://nightowlsp.com/cab-2pk1004kv1.html) / Video Balun (https://nightowlsp.com/a-vb-poe-bnc.html).
