QuestionCan i view whats going on in or outside my home while i would be away on vacation/ work/ out of town?
Asked 5 years ago by Gizmo9221.
- Answer Yes, you can. With NightOwl App. for this particular system, you will need to use the NIGHT OWL CONNECT app, free from Play Store (for Android). There is an app for Apple too and I'm sure its the same name, but I am not 100% sure regarding apple app.

QuestionCan I replace my cameras with infrared cameras
Asked 5 years ago by 15PILOT.
- Answer Yes. The C20X DVR is compatible with our 1080p Infrared Cameras. However, please note, our 1080p Infrared Cameras do not have Spotlight technology, so it is a trade off. Thank you for choosing Night Owl!

QuestionWhat’s the difference between wired and wireless system ?And which one is the best?
Asked 5 years ago by Lamont.
- Answer Hello, wired: Each individual camera is physically wired (BNC wire/connections) from location you setup DVR player all the way to location you setup each camera around your house, either indoor or outdoor. Wireless: Just as its called, "wireless" there are no wires from DVR to your camera EXCEPT for the power cable that connects to each individual camera. The power cable does not need to be connected at the same location DVR is at, but will need to be connected within (I think) the power cable length is 10feet.

QuestionIs it live footage only or can I record and re watch if needed, also can I connect them to be able to see them in a tv
Asked 5 years ago by Maria.
- Answer That is a good question. All recordings will be stored, for free, on the pre-installed 1TB hard disk drive (HDD). You can easily access them for playback and back them up when necessary. You can locally view your system from a TV with no Internet using an HDMI cable (minimum 1080p resolution). If you have Internet, then you can download our free app and view remotely from your Smart Device. Thank you!
