Questionare wired cameras that use bnc connectors compatible
Asked 5 years ago by slimepig.
- Answer If they are Night Owl wired BNC cameras and do not exceed 1080p resolution, then yes they will be. Unfortunately, Night Owl is not able to guarantee compatibility with any 3rd party brands. Often, cameras of the same technology will function with our systems, but we make no assurances. We can only ensure that our products will function with compatible Night Owl product. We apologize for any inconvenience.

QuestionWhat would it cost for someone to come out and connect my night owl box, all the security cameras already set up
Asked 5 years ago by Lupe.
- Answer Hi Lupe. You would need to contact Best Buy's GeekSquad, but calling the closest location to you. Or you can hire a 3rd party installer. Night Owl does not supply installation. Thank you.

QuestionHow does device fit in with the owl wired cameras throughout my house? I already have a owl system where the camera wires plug in. Do I still need the camera wires with this device to make the connection from the owl camera to the owl wireless device?
Asked 5 years ago by Bob.
- Answer So... with this 20 Channel Hybrid DVR, you have 16 Wired Channels and 4 Wi-Fi Channels. So, you can take your existing compatible Night Owl wired cameras and just connect them to this unit using your existing wired cabling. Then you can add up to 4 x Wi-Fi devices should you desire.
