System Overview

1080p HD Wired + Wireless Security System

 

 

 

System Overview

Worlds are colliding! Night Owl’s Wired + Wireless worlds join forces for the first time. The Night Owl® 1080p HD Wired + Wireless Security System provides true security and flexibility. At 1080p you capture recordings with clarity and precision. There are absolutely no fees for storing your recordings. Simply keep everything on the pre-installed 1TB hard drive. Human Detection Technology, found in the Wired Spotlight cameras, uses advanced algorithms to detect human motion. The Wireless cameras use Smart Dual Sensor Technology to determine motion by requiring heat and motion be detected simultaneously. Both technologies significantly reduce false alerts to your Smart Device and save hard drive space. A built-in motion-activated spotlight activates anytime one of the Wired cameras senses human motion, adding an extra layer of security to your world. As if this wasn’t enough, the Hybrid DVR is compatible with our add-on 1080p HD Wireless cameras and Smart Doorbell.


The Night Owl® HD Wired + Wireless Security System works alongside a free remote viewing App for iOS® and Android™ Smart Devices. You can view on a PC or Mac with our free computer software. Plus, you have access to free 24/7 technical support in English, Spanish and French, to provide all the support you need. Experience the quality, reliability, and excellent customer service of Night Owl® with a new Hybrid system.

 

 

 

 

 

Night Owl's Wired World

Night Owl’s Wired technology uses a secure hardwired connection for true CCTV (Closed Circuit Television) and provides uninterrupted viewing and recording with no delays.

 

1080p HD Wired Spotlight Cameras

See intricate details with clarity and precision with 1080p (2MP) (1920 pixels x 1080 pixels) High Definition Cameras. Human motion triggers a bright built-in motion-activated LED spotlight on these Wired cameras which wards off trespassers. Human Detection Technology reduces false alerts to your Smart Device, which keeps you apprised of meaningful threats and saves hard drive space. You will experience uninterrupted viewing and recording with no interference from Wi-Fi devices. Internet is only required for remote viewing and receiving alerts to a Smart Device. Lastly, these Wired cameras have Night Vision with up to 100 ft. of visibility to provide the coverage you need.

 

Built-in Motion-Activated Spotlights

Stop trespassers in their tracks! Human motion activates the bright spotlight on these Wired cameras, adding an extra layer of security and protection. The bright built-in motion-activated spotlight wards off potential intruders, which further enhances your security coverage. You can control the lights from anywhere with our free remote viewing App.

 

Human Detection Technology Reduces False Alerts to your Smart Device

These 1080p HD Wired hybrid security cameras use artificial intelligence and advanced algorithms to detect human motion from up to 40 ft. away and send meaningful alerts. Real-time alerts are sent directly to your Smart Device, keeping you connected to your world. Advanced algorithms focus on human movement to reduce false alerts and save valuable hard drive space for recordings that matter. Real-time alerts notify you of human activity as soon as it happens.

 

L2 Color Boost® Technology with Night Vision

Hold off the darkness! With Night Owl’s L2 Color Boost® Technology your Wired Spotlight cameras continue recording in full-color as light fades to darkness. These cameras capture full-color video in low-light settings, only switching to Night Vision if necessary. The low-light (L2) sensors produce detailed full-color video even as light fades away. When the light fades to darkness, the Wired Spotlight cameras continue recording using black and white Night Vision with up to 100 ft. of visibility.

When an event is detected, you receive a real-time alert on your Smart Device. Patent Pending Dual Sensor Technology eliminates the number of false alerts you receive by up to 90%. This system records only when necessary to save hard drive space. You will receive a real-time motion alert to your Smart Device when heat and motion are detected in the selected zone.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent product. Ordered the HDVRC20X81, with 2 wireless cameras, the doorbell, and 4 wired cameras. Initially upon receiving everything I was unable to get a good signal, after some troubleshooting we were able to determine the issue was in the DVR wireless ports. A quick internet chat, and 3 short days later the new DVR arrived, and everything runs seemlessly, crystal clear, and exactly as I had hoped upon purchasing. The customer service was absolutely excellent they made what could’ve been a stressful situation very easy for me. I could not be happier with my new security system and would recommend to anyone considering a security system!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from It, ok This is my third unit as an upgrade, I am happy with the DVR, but not pleased with customer service. At the time I purchased this unit I also purchased a two pack of wireless camera's, that your website recommend, however not being able to get through to support, I did my own research, only to discover the camera pack I bought, did not work with this DVR. so I try calling to find out how to return them, and I cant understand the rep I was speaking to, due to she could barely speak English. After my own research I find the right cameras for my DVR.(since I cant get through to support) witch I would like to purchase as well, but not until someone can explain to me how to return the wrong ones.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Good buuuut... Something that is not mentioned in the description, this has to be hooked up with an Ethernet cable to work. I’m talking directly from your modem/router. This does not have the option to connect to the internet via Wi-Fi.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Video quality could be better We have CM-AHD10W-BU-H cameras. Very crisp even in low light. Some of them had gotten so old they needed replacing. Unfortunately those cameras aren't being manufactured any longer so we bought 2 of these instead. The quality isn't as good as the CM-AHD10W-BUH cameras. Not terrible, just slightly.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Needs 12 Channel Viewing Option I bought this Hybrid DVR as soon at it was launched as an upgrade to my previous Night Owl DVR because I wanted to incorporate my Night Owl doorbell in the same system as the rest of my home cameras. The PC CMS software was not even available yet. I have been using Night Owl products for over 8 years now and I am love their systems, reliable but does not break the bank. The CMS software for the PC is now available but I am disappointed that it does not give the option to view 12 channels at a time and no playback feature either for PC. The viewing options are 1, 4, 6, 8, 9, 16, 25 channels. Do I need to remind Night Owl that this is a 12 Channel Hybrid system? Customers should have the 12 channel viewing option, especially in my case that I am using all 12 channels. I shouldn't have to use the 16 channel viewing option, just to have 4 blank channel spots on my screen. Please fix this.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Strongly Recommend I bought this unit and added 6 wired cameras, 2 1080p wireless cameras and bought a new doorbell and added it. It let me arrange the system for my needs which made the wife and i very happy. If i want to add more cameras later on i can. I have already recommendded this product to my friends.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Easy install Purchased and installed. Wireless cameras are awesome with sound recording also. Wired cameras have a spot light to deter thieves but 2 of the lights come on and 2 do not and I have the settings on all cameras with light turned off. One of the cameras is constantly in black and white and can’t get color but love them other than the one camera in black and white and can’t turn the spotlights off.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good price for all the channels offered. We have had a night owl unit for five years and it did great until recently with hard drive failure and other issues. So I priced this unit and a very good price for 16 channels offered. Bought and put into service..only been over a week now but seems fine. Only reason for four stars is because unlike our other unit on play back and recording on a memory stick, I could record and view all cameas in one backup onto the stick. This unit only allows you to record only one channel at a time...time consuming...and you can only view two cameras at a time when playing play back?...why not all like the other?......maybe you guys and tweek your software out to accomplish this like your other units? For the price and all the channels offered I would recondmend at this time.......only time will tell if it holds up?

Good afternoon, I have the Night Owl HC20X-81-4L. How do you rewind to check previous footage and also how to delete footage? Thank you.

Asked by: Jackie1111
In order to delete footage, you would need to reformat the hard drive. Before doing so, ensure that you have backed-up all recordings that you want saved. You can rewind during playback using the toolbar. If you are searching for older recordings, you would simply need to use the filters to find the recordings you are looking for. Please view your manual for more detailed information and images. Thank you! https://support.nightowlsp.com/hc/en-us/articles/360015384014-HC20X-Series
