QuestionI have an old system from nightowl, its the HDA 720p. I already have my BNC wires pre installed w/ that last system. Will I need to change them for the 4k? Will picture quality be affected?
Asked 5 years ago by Lacie.
- Answer Unfortunately, you will need to upgrade the cabling. This 4K system has many advanced features and a massive increase in resolution. Due to this, the cabling from your older 720p system will not function with this new 4K kit. Thank you for shopping Night Owl!

QuestionAre you able to turn off the spotlight feature? Also can you set times when you want the spotlight feature to function, like 11pm to 4am?
Asked 5 years ago by Anonymous.
- 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. Currently, we do not have a timer/schedule feature for the Spotlight. Thank you for choosing Night Owl! https://support.nightowlsp.com/hc/en-us

QuestionHow does facial recognition work?
Asked 5 years ago by LongBeach562.
- Answer These wired cameras capture a person’s face from up to 10 ft. away and send Familiar and Unfamiliar alerts to your Smart Device. An internal database lets you put a name to the face. Familiar Face Alerts add names to faces you trust, such as family members, friends, and delivery people. Unfamiliar Face Alerts keep you in the know when a stranger is on your property. Data is stored locally on the DVR's pre-installed hard disk drive (HDD) and never on the Night Owl® cloud. Thank you for choosing Night Owl!
