Your Bluetooth® wired recorder can hold up to 4 compatible Night Owl Wi-Fi devices. Our compatible Wi-Fi IP cameras can be easily moved as your viewing needs change. They simply need to be plugged into a power source and then paired to your wired recorder, which is easily done. Our 1080p Smart Video Doorbell is also compatible with your wired recorder and can help round out your coverage.
