Frequently Asked Questions
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?
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 apps or by utilizing the FREE Night Owl X CMS software on a PC/MAC.
3. How do the cameras transmit video the NVR?
Our wireless NVRs have built-in WiFi for communicating with the cameras. Each camera comes paired to the wireless NVR by default, so your initial setup should be hassle free.
Note: Add-on cameras will come in pairing mode and will need to be paired to the NVR.
4. Are my cameras weatherproof?
CAM-WNVR2P-OU cameras are weatherproof (not waterproof) 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. CAM-WNVR2P-IN cameras are for indoor use ONLY and are NOT to be used outdoors.
