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.
To pair a replacement camera to your NVR, please use the below steps:

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 App or 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.
