QuestionI was wondering if these show black and white color or are they colored cameras
Asked 4 years ago by Rob.
- Answer During the day you will have full-color viewing and recording. At night you will have L2 Color Boost if you have enough ambient light in the area surrounding the camera. If you do not, it will switch to black and white Night Vision. Thank you!

Questioncan it be hooked ut to a tv?
Asked 4 years ago by tino.
- Answer Yes but these cameras have been a problem since day one. Original it would capture licenses plates. Now it does not and I was told I would need to purchase a new 4K system. I haven't add these a year and it's sad I am stuck with this garbage.

Questioncan the length of coax to a camera be increased by 20 feet?
Asked 4 years ago by BigBrother.
- Answer Hi there. Yes, you can push a camera further out from the DVR. You can go up to 160 ft. from the DVR. We do not sell 20 ft. extensions, but do have 100 ft. cables on our sales site. Please view the link below for one option. https://nightowlsp.com/cab-1004kv1.html

QuestionCan I add a dc powered wireless camera to this system? I purchased a 10 camera wired system with 12 available ports. If so, what camera models are compatible?
Asked 4 years ago by Rob.
- Answer No, this wired DVR system is not compatible with our Wi-Fi devices. We do sell Wi-Fi cameras and a smart doorbell that can be used as standalones via a Wi-Fi connection, but they cannot be physically added to this DVR system. You would, however, be able to view them through the same mobile app. Please contact our pre-sales team at 1-866-979-0580 or email [email protected] to learn more. Thank you.
