1. Does my DVR have to be connected to the Internet?Your DVR does not require an Internet connection for basic operation, but you will need to connect the DVR to your router to remotely view your system on a PC/Mac® or Smart Device.2. Does my DVR have to be connected to a TV or monitor?For initial setup, you will need to connect your DVR to a TV or monitor. After completing the initial setup, your DVR 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.3. Are my cameras weatherproof?Yes and no. The 4K wired 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. NO, the Wireless INDOOR IP cameras are NOT weatherproof and should NOT be used outdoors.4. Why does my camera stop working at night?Your camera might not be receiving enough power for the LEDs needed for Night Vision. Plug the camera directly into the camera power adapter (bypassing the splitter) to see if the LEDs turn on. If they do, you may need to purchase an additional camera power adapter for that camera.5. Why is the Night Owl X or Night Owl X HD App not accepting my password?The Night Owl Apps require two passwords. One is for logging into the app, and the other is the DVR’s admin password. To add a device to the app, enter the DVR’s admin password. Remember, you MUST confirm your email by clicking the “Confirm Email” link in the verification email sent by Night Owl during setup.6. 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 the mobile app or client software: A) your system may not be connected to a router; B) the latest firmware or client software may not be installed; C) the DVR password was entered incorrectly; D) you may need to restart your DVR; E) the network upload speed may be too slow, contact your ISP.FAQsFrequently Asked Questions17QSG-H2THD.indd 18 2018/6/22 11:01
