Positioning Your Wireless NVR and Cameras
NVR
NVR
Your wireless IP cameras will reach up
to 300 ft. Therefore, proper placement
of the wireless NVR in your home will
ensure you achieve maximum coverage.
Placing the wireless NVR centrally in
your home will help make certain that
no matter where you mount your cameras,
they will be able to wirelessly connect
inside the signal range of the WNVR.

Signal
When your wireless signal is transmitted through various materials, such
as walls and windows, the signal strength is affected. Though the NVR
and wireless camera may be very close in proximity, you could still notice
high signal interference if the signal passes through certain obstacles. For
instance, if the signal passes through a concrete wall it will be severely
weakened. Please reference the chart below to see which obstacles highly
affect your signal and which do not.
How Obstacles Affect Your Signal Strength
Your Wireless NVR must be powered on
using the NVR power adapter. Similarly,
each wireless camera must be powered
with a camera power adapter. Though
these cameras wirelessly transmit video
to the NVR, they are not battery powered,
and must therefore be powered via the
included adapters. Each camera within
your system will come equipped with its
own camera power adapter.
Powering the NVR and Wireless Cameras
NOTE: If your setup requires the signal to be transmitted through an obstacle that
severely weakens it, you can use the 9 ft. Wi-Fi Extender Antenna included with
your system. The Extender Antenna can be used to bypass the obstacle weakening
the signal. Simply replace the white Camera Antenna with the Extender Antenna
and then mount the Extender Antenna on the opposing side of the obstacle.

At this stage of the Startup Wizard, you will be instructed on
adjusting the camera sensitivity and setting the Motion Detection
Area. Having your cameras in their final position will be key.
So, if you would like to detect motion for the front door to your
home, place the camera to the side of the entrance.
The infrared sensor
works best for
‘side to side’
movement across
the cameras field
of view as opposed
to movement
directly to or away
from the camera
When you reach the Camera / Channel Settings screen, you will
want to have installed the cameras in their final position. Please
make sure you have mounted cameras at least 7ft. above the
ground and angled them slightly down.

Pairing a Replacement Wireless Camera
1Power on the replacement camera
using the camera power adapter.
NOTE: This should be done locally
at the NVR to avoid interference
2With the NVR connected to
a TV/monitor, right click on
your mouse and navigate to
the Main Menu using the
options bar.
By default, each camera within your Wireless NVR kit comes pre-paired to the
Wireless NVR. Additionally, your wireless NVR has its own built-in Wi-Fi for
secure, uninterrupted video transmission and recording. Pairing allows for the
wireless transmission coming from the camera to be detected by the Wireless
NVR. However, if you have a camera that needs to be replaced while under
warranty, the replacement camera will similarly need to be paired to the NVR.
NOTE: When pairing a Night Owl add-on camera, refer to “Add-on cameras
Quick Setup Guide”.
To pair a replacement camera to your NVR, please use the below steps:
Go to the Camera Menu and
Select the Add Camera tab
on the left side of the menu.
The top portion of the screen
will list cameras that have
been found but not yet paired.
The bottom portion of the
screen will show all cameras
that are currently paired to
the NVR.

4Next, you will need to reset the
replacement camera. To do so, press
and hold the reset button until you
hear a beep, indicating the camera
has begun the reset process.
NOTE: The reset process may take
up to 3 minutes.
6Within the Wireless Add screen,
the “Number of Cameras
Connected” signifies those
cameras that are already paired
to the Wireless NVR and will
not immediately reflect this
new camera.
NOTE: You cannot exceed the
number of Wireless NVR channels
you have. If you have a 4 channel
system, the maximum number of
cameras you can have paired is 4.
5
After 3 minutes have passed
or after hearing the camera
beep, click on Wireless Add
located on the Add Camera
screen. Your NVR will now
search for new cameras.
NOTE: The replacement
camera will not appear in the
bottom screen with all other
paired cameras until the NVR
finishes the process of finding
and pairing the new camera.

Additional Support
1. Does my wireless NVR have to be connected to the Internet to work?
No, your wireless NVR does not have to be connected to the Internet to work. You can
view live feed and recordings by connecting it to a TV/Monitor via HDMI or VGA.
2. Will I be able to view my system while away from home?
In order to view your wireless system remotely, your NVR will need to be manually
connected to a modem/router via the included Ethernet cable. You can view your system
via the FREE Night Owl X or Night Owl X HD App by utilizing the FREE CMS software on a
PC/Mac®.
3. How do the cameras transmit video to the NVR?
Our wireless NVRs have built-in Wi-Fi for communicating with the cameras. Each camera
comes paired to the wireless NVR by default, so your initial setup should be hassle free.
4. Are my cameras weatherproof?
Yes, your cameras are weatherproof and will endure minimal moisture and dirt/debris.
However, Night Owl strongly recommends placing all outdoor cameras under an eave or
awning to help shield them from overexposure to the elements, which could reduce your
camera’s lifespan.
5. Does my NVR have to be connected to a TV or monitor?
For initial setup, you will need to connect your NVR to a TV or monitor. After completing the
initial setup, your NVR does not need to be connected to a TV or monitor to view or capture
recordings. You can view your system using the Night Owl X CMS Software on a PC/Mac® or by
downloading the Night Owl X or Night Owl X HD apps on your Smart Device.
6. Why is the Night Owl X or Night Owl X HD app not accepting my password?
The Night Owl apps will require two passwords to configure: one password will be used to login
to the app itself and the second will be the admin password of your NVR. In order to add a
device to the app, you will need to enter the NVR’s admin password. Please refer to pages 7
and 12 of this QSG. Remember, when setting up your Night Owl X or Night Owl X HD app, you
must confirm your email by clicking the “Confirm Email” link sent by Night Owl upon initial
application configuration.
7. Why can’t I connect using the Night Owl X app, Night Owl X HD app or
Night Owl X CMS Software?
If you are having trouble connecting using our mobile app or client software, A) your Night
Owl system may not be connected to a router, B) the latest firmware or client software
may not be installed on your computer or mobile device or, C) the password may have been
entered incorrectly or, D) You may need to restart your NVR and try again.
