QuestionDo you have to have internet to use these cameras?
Asked 7 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer You don't NEED internet to use them, however, you do need it to view them remotely. You can get away with just hooking up a monitor and using them as is, but if you can hook them into a network they are nice to be able to view remotely, pull footage, etc.

QuestionHi, can I connect these cameras to the DVR that my cable company provides me with?
Asked 7 years ago by Luis.
- Answer It depends on the DVR your work provided you. As long as they have the same type of connection, and similar specs it should work. I use older cameras on these DVR's all the time, and the quality of the picture is not as good, but they work fine and still record as they should. So as long as they have the BNC connection it should work....

QuestionWhat is the longest cable run you can make to the camera for acceptable video quality?
Asked 7 years ago by wade.
- Answer The longest cable I have installed is 100 ft. There is no difference in quality between the 60ft and 100ft cables. The quality depends on your cameras. I do recommend the 1080p over the 720 cameras. If there is no cuts in the video cables you should be able to run longer cables with no issues.

Asked 7 years ago by Stephanie.

QuestionI added two cameras that are not night owl. They are HD color cameras, however they only show black and white. How do I fix this? I can’t change the color settings to get color.
Asked 7 years ago by FirewifeC3.
- Answer I have added many different brands of cameras to these DVR's, and the Night Owl ones are the best to use with it. The cameras show up how they show up. My guess is that the lighting is low enough to trigger the Infared lights which make it appear black and white. Try adding light to the area where the camera is at and see if it switches to regular mode with color. There is not a color adjustment setting, and I would recommend just getting a couple of actual Night Owl ones to replace those.

Questionwhat are the internet speed requirement
Asked 7 years ago by mikem2.
- Answer There is no speed requirement, however, the slower the speed the slower and more difficult it will be to view them remotely. I would recommend at least a 25 mbs speed at the very LEAST. Which is stupid slow. I have some that are connected to Verizon Cell tower router and they are so hit or miss on being able to remotely view them. The faster the better!
