QuestionCan this system function without internet?
Asked 4 years ago by JohnDeere.
- Answer Your Night Owl device only needs to be connected to a modem/router if you wish to view it remotely on a PC/MAC or a Smart Device. To remotely view your system, you must manually connect an Ethernet cable from your modem/router to the DVR/NVR. If you do not want remote viewing, you can connect the system to a TV or monitor to view live video feed and recordings. Thanks for choosing Night Owl!

QuestionDo you have an option that has audio and video
Asked 4 years ago by TxTea.
- Answer yes but only 1 way... they can hear you... the quality of human faces is horrible... lights are NOT bright... it seems cheaply made, selling for higher cause it has a light, siren and app... you cant adjust much of anything except brightness and most of this you have to do through the app, not the dvr which is stupid

Questioncan you add audio to the dvr?
Asked 4 years ago by Boss.
- Answer The cameras have a speaker to play an included message or a siren sound. They have no microphone to record sound and I don't believe there is a provision to record sound.

QuestionCan I use my phone to see the recordings
Asked 4 years ago by TJ.
- Answer Yes. This system works with our Night Owl Protect App for remote viewing from your mobile Smart Device. You can download it in the App Store or Google PlayStore. Please refer to your product manual at the following link for more information. Keep in mind, while an Internet connection is not needed for local viewing from a TV/monitor, you will need to connect the DVR to a working network access point (router/modem) via Ethernet cable to remotely view the cameras from your Smart Device using the app. Thank you! https://support.nightowlsp.com/hc/en-us/articles/1260805493610
