I've had this system for a couple of years, just never had a real reason to set it up, however our mailbox has been getting broken into lately, it one of those gang boxes and it's in front of our house (they have a key for it) so it time to set up the camera's. You've been a big help, thanks
I been having trouble my phone is no longer picking up my cameras it now says no account but I've tried to put my password and there's no account it rolls me no device is connected I've tried everything
I got the same system but 3 out of 6 cameras lag alot. The other 3 cameras are cameras from a different system and work flawless. The 3 old cameras are 12v and the cameras in this system are 15v. Not sure what's wrong. Power supply outputs 15v for all cameras.
@@kiodiekin thanks for getting back to me!! Hopefully we'll be able to see who's been hitting all of these mailboxes, they've hit ours four times in the last two months. Like I said thanks
"Time, dont worry about that" hopefully you set the time. Very important. If someone breaks in to your house at 10pm and you go back to find the footage and the time is off you now have to scroll through footage or calculate the time to try and find the footage you need. I learned that the hard way with my dash cam. Go back the next day to find it and you look at 10 and its off by however many hours might show up the next day even. Pain in the butt.
i used my old ones. obviously, id recommends using new stuff but the old ones worked fine. the new ones probably support hd better but im only guessing on that and enver fully specd the cables
Do you have a patron? I want to contribute, wow what a huge savings I just saved your videos are so appreciated. Thank you so much for sharing your time and resources and expertise.
Thank you partner. I needed your inputs to give me a bit of confidence installing the system I purchased recently, 1080p, wired 6 camera system( don't know the model number yet as it is not advertised on the box). I believe from watching your vid, my system is somewhat similar in capability as your 12 camera setup, just smaller. I have just enough experience with this kind of stuff to get myself in huge trouble. The software and output side of the house is going to be my downfall probably. A table top initial setup will defiantly be my first step. Thank you again.
@@kiodiekin I believe you are correct. Did you like the difference. I have 3.0 1080p cameras now I was hoping for an even better look My residence is well lit to
I noticed when you're on the camera tab, each camera ask for an interface and has a drop down box. Those cameras are what I consider analog cameras due to having a BNC connector. Can you add IP or network cameras to this DVR? Obviously not physically at the DVR but can you connect the DVR to a switch with IP cameras on the same network, will the DVR see those network cameras and record them too?
Hi, how can I set up the area to be record? Do I cover that area with the 🟥 or should I leave it out? I just don’t want the motion detector to go off unnecessary. Thank you for this video.
Thru the app am i able to talk in for the other person to hear? Also how the app view? Clear quality? Thanks trying to decide between swann enforcer 4k vs night owl
I believe it does maybe if u get certain cameras there’s a feature for it but I’m still Learning the system. I set it up for someone and the app has the features for it
you have to buy audio enabled cameras and they are not 4k... you might be able to just buy some microphones and plug them into it so that you can get audio.
@@gamergeek8933 very true I know the wires doesn’t support it. Strange it doesn’t mention it on the box even though the app supports it. Could be confusing to some
@@kiodiekin yeah I looked on their website to see if they had audio cameras and they did but they looked like older models or something. One wired and one Wireless but both only 1080p.
I've bought a cheaper brand before and it was far superior than this. This has been a piece of garbage that I would warn everyone DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY
I have ran up and down ladder to install 8 cameras on new set my wife has been on phone for hours. The old night owl was easy to figure out not this one . Cli.bing ladder to take em down and box em back out .
I need one of these

Glad it was helpful!

So you can view you cameras remotely on your phone? I'm never home and would like to be able to check up
Yes it’s called night owl protect
How do you install the cables. I bought it because I thought it was wireless 😂
Run them around the house and drill holes
Does this have sound? I have the 8 camera dvr unit
No it doesn’t have sound there’s an additional accessories you need to add a microphone
When making your account DO NOT put a period or any special letters in your username
👍
Great video Thank you for sharing and doing a tutorial for installing it.
No problem 👍
Great video, I'm looking for info on this system and your video is very helpful
No problem

I’ll double check the settings to to se did it backs it up to the online service tomorrow if it’s stored on the drive entirely
How long are the wires...? I don't understand how the wires is going to.reach 50 ft plus into all corners ( outside ) of my house..?
there was existing cables at the location but it comes with 50 ft. u can order 100 foot long cables online
@@kiodiekin so you can use the existing cables
@@keithberwanger3599 yes, they r bnc video cables
Awesome video. Thank You
No prob
Can u turn the light off on the camera?
Of course it’s all controlled through the dvr
Hi my camera stopped recording after power outage what do I do to fix that?
call manufacturer
Thanks
You must be left handed if you are good at everything
Just the things I love doing 😎
Did your old cables work or did you need to use the new ones
i used my old ones. obviously, id recommends using new stuff but the old ones worked fine. the new ones probably support hd better but im only guessing on that and enver fully specd the cables
Do you have a patron? I want to contribute, wow what a huge savings I just saved your videos are so appreciated. Thank you so much for sharing your time and resources and expertise.
I do!
Amazing video
Thanks for the support appreciate it 👍😎
I just got the same system but when I try to connect the box to my account, it keeps saying “Add failure”. How do I fix that?
R U ON THE NET
@@kiodiekin i am, i have the ethernet plugged in and everything
You did not show us how to install it properly
Private property
Laziness dude install it yourself
Does it need Wi-Fi?
No
Can you hear what’s going on through the camera
no u need a specific audio camera with a mic. the system can handle it but the cameras they come with needs audio cameras

NO prob
How do you make the spotlight come on when motion is detected?
U turn it on in dvr settings.
Do these work without WiFi?
Ya
So i have this type of cameras however the cameras are not picking up the audio
U need special cameras for that with audio
Do all of the night owl wired DVRs use that BNC cables?
I have a 3.0 night and want to upgrade to the 4k dvr.
I don't want to run cables.
As far as I know most security systems use the same bnc connectors
@@kiodiekin
I believe you are correct.
Did you like the difference.
I have 3.0 1080p cameras now
I was hoping for an even better look
My residence is well lit to
@@kiodiekin awesome video BTW I subscribed
@@AOG_ETH thanks appreciate it. wish I had more time to cover security systems
@@AOG_ETH i would always use new cables when doing an install un less its too much of a hassle.
If each camera plugs into a an outlet then what plugs the cameras into the DVR ?
Yes one for power and one for video source
Anyone ever purchased the wireless 4k night owl system? Is the wireless as good as the wired?
Never tried or looked into that 1. I’m sure it is with todays tech
Can you do a review video after install? Curious to see pic quality (Day/Night), Frame rate, and app features
if i have time
Can I dim the spotlight on the night owl?
I’m
Not sure, it’s really not that bright it’s perfect as it is
Can you adjust the contrast or colors on the cameras or do you adjust by frame rates
U adjust everything on the dvr settings per camera.
I noticed when you're on the camera tab, each camera ask for an interface and has a drop down box. Those cameras are what I consider analog cameras due to having a BNC connector. Can you add IP or network cameras to this DVR? Obviously not physically at the DVR but can you connect the DVR to a switch with IP cameras on the same network, will the DVR see those network cameras and record them too?
I don’t believe u can
@@kiodiekin dang, thank you
Will it record in 4k even tho its set up to an hd monitor?i have a similar 4k system hooked up to an hd monitor,it has a 1080p/4k option.
Yes it’s capable of that
Hi, how can I set up the area to be record? Do I cover that area with the 🟥 or should I leave it out? I just don’t want the motion detector to go off unnecessary. Thank you for this video.
You can thats exactly what you do.
Hi!
Would like to know, if they can record also audio in every cameras? My NO Cctv model is c20x, I can only use the two way live talking ,
No but I covered it in the video
But theres a sound if you play back the video?.
Or theres a sound on a recorded video?
Hey great video, What is a good security solution if you will be monitoring from a different country. So once setup it will be totally remote.
Any of these that can be accessed via cell phone will work. U have remote login over pc
Great video...Were you able to use your existing older cables with the new 4Kcameras?
Used my existing cables
Will these do wireless cameras.
Model
CL-BT8D-8-26LSA 8
im not sure havent used them before
Does a Ethernet cable need to be connected from the DVr to the router ?
Or can it connected without it ?
i think its ethernet only
Cool. Thanks for the reply.
@@peterortega716 that mean yes??
is your monitor 4k as well?
1080
No more beeping in this version when having motion?
Huh?
@@kiodiekin previous versions had a loud sound on the nvr when detecting a movement. Apparently this new version don’t have it…
@@christyholguin8595 it prob does it maybe in the setting, I believe I saw it when setting it up for this customer
Which software are you using
That’s the software that comes with the unit
Hi, the infrared light of one of my night owl camera isn’t on. Can you please advise me how to fix. Thank you.
Check your settings first
How do I get the spot lights to work on auto at night with out manually clicking through app?
It’s in the settings u set up the proximity
Video feed looks to laggy
On your unit?
Where are u located I need u to set mine y my
U need installation? What area
Why does it have a spot for a SD card if it has a hard drive?
for backup purposes to move it to another device and capture clips
Does this unit have 2 way audio talk feature?
The system does the camera units don’t
Thru the app am i able to talk in for the other person to hear? Also how the app view? Clear quality? Thanks trying to decide between swann enforcer 4k vs night owl
i cant test it or verify since i dont have audio camera setup but the software supports it
So I got a question so I got the same system and on motion it only records for 11 seconds how can I make it record for more longer ?
There’s a duration setting in the system u can change u can record the length after motion
One more question I been getting notification that my camera was move can you remove that setting ?
@@kelw1296 ya I think it’s a net setting u have to do it from the app or network settings
@@kiodiekin thank you so much ! Appreciated.
No prob
I just got my 4k nightowl cams and my older nightowl cam quality looks better wth...i think my old ones are 3mp or 4mp
Sweet
@@kiodiekin not sweet lol
Did u change the cables
@@kiodiekin ok so side by side i can see difference in quality now lol. Not by much but still a bit better
@@MexhomieXlll did u change anything
do you pay a monthly fee to be able to use the camaras and see the fotage
No
Yes I have wifi
They were working now my phone won't pick it up says I have no account and no device conected
Are those cameras always recording or they only record when there’s movement?
All the time
One more question does the cameras have 2 way audio? does it pick up audio while recording?
@@jesse5861 no there is no audio recorded
Dose it really have audio?
I believe it does maybe if u get certain cameras there’s a feature for it but I’m still
