Something that is not mentioned in the description, this has to be hooked up with an Ethernet cable to work. I’m talking directly from your modem/router. This does not have the option to connect to the internet via Wi-Fi.
I would recommend this to a friend!

That is mentioned on the product packaging, product page and support material. The DVR must be hardwired to your modem or router for remote connectivity. If you do not wish to view the system remotely, you can locally view if form a TV or monitor via HDMI. Thank you for choosing Night Owl.
Easy to install and used Netgear’s Powerline 1200 for my Ethernet connection. I was able to assign one password for all systems but needed to complete this prior to plugging in my Powerline 1200. Purchase the doorbell as well. Still learning how to retrieve recordings. With strong WiFi it’s pretty much plug & Play. In motion detection prepare for alerts on-time for review.
I would recommend this to a friend!

We are very sorry to hear about your current ordeal and hope you are recovering well. Thank you for the kind words.
I bought this Hybrid DVR as soon at it was launched as an upgrade to my previous Night Owl DVR because I wanted to incorporate my Night Owl doorbell in the same system as the rest of my home cameras. The PC CMS software was not even available yet. I have been using Night Owl products for over 8 years now and I am love their systems, reliable but does not break the bank. The CMS software for the PC is now available but I am disappointed that it does not give the option to view 12 channels at a time and no playback feature either for PC. The viewing options are 1, 4, 6, 8, 9, 16, 25 channels. Do I need to remind Night Owl that this is a 12 Channel Hybrid system? Customers should have the 12 channel viewing option, especially in my case that I am using all 12 channels. I shouldn't have to use the 16 channel viewing option, just to have 4 blank channel spots on my screen. Please fix this.
