Does this camera operate through Wifi? Or can you use an ethernet cable for it?
Also, how many days of recording is the DVR able to hold?
Asked by: Owl4713
Our Night Owl System will require a wired ethernet connection so you may remotely view your system through your smart device. Regarding the recording, depending on the number of cameras you have connected to the DVR and the recording resolution of those cameras, generally:
500 GB = up to 6 months of recording
1 TB = up to 12 months of recording
2 TB = up to 24 months of recording
The more cameras you have connected to the DVR, the shorter this time frame. Additionally, the higher the resolution the shorter the time frame. To maximize the time frame, please switch your recording schedule to motion record, as opposed to 24/7 record.

I already have wired night owl cameras installed. Will these cameras be able to plug into the existing wires or will I have to run new wires?
Asked by: Yensid
Good Afternoon, we would recommend using the cables that come with the Night Owl cameras to prevent any issues. However, you may test the current cables you already have installed with these cameras. The majority of our cables are compatible with different cameras. For any additional questions, feel free to contact us by calling 1-866-979-0580. Thank you for choosing Night Owl.

Can this be viewed live & recorded on PCs connected to the same network as the DVR?
Asked by: ComixZone
You may download the Night Owl CMS to your computer. The Night Owl CMS will allow you to do live view, take screenshots, record and playback previous recordings. It's not necessary for both the PC and the Night Owl DVR to be on the same network, however, we do recommend having a minimum of 2mbps of upload speed for the best connection for live view. Please visit our support website at https://nightowlsp.zendesk.com/hc/en-us so you may download the Night Owl CMS software. Thank you for choosing Night Owl!

Can Cameras be adjusted to wide angle viewing
Asked by: Scottie 2
The cameras that come with this Night Owl DVR have a viewing angle of 70 degrees. Unfortunately, the cameras don't have the ability to make the viewing angle any wider. You may purchase Night Owl Cameras that have a wider angle and add them to the system. For more information, please contact us at 1-866-979-0580. Thank you for choosing Night Owl.
