8 Channel Smart HD Video Security System with 2 TB HDD and 8 x
720p HD Cameras
Modern High Definition technology is amazing for movies and sports, and now, it’s
even better for video security! The latest in cutting edge HD technology has greatly
impacted the video surveillance market. Customers continue to demand more
enhanced image quality for use in applications where showcasing movement and
identifying objects are vital. Nothing is more precious than your family, your home,
your business and your peace of mind. Clearer HD images and video greatly enhance
the recognition of intricate details such as license plate numbers and distinct facial
features. With the introduction of HD resolution in security cameras, clearer and
sharper images have become the new standard!
Secure Homes/Businesses in HD
Searching for a High Definition video security system that’s both cost effective
AND simple to set up? Look no further than Night Owl’s brand new AHD Series.
These products deliver image quality that is FAR SUPERIOR to traditional analog
systems.
Seamlessly Upgrade Outdated Security Systems
Looking to upgrade from an older analog system? No need to rewire your home!
With Night Owl’s AHD Series, each system can be integrated with your
existing coaxial cabling! It’s that simple. Once you’re up and running, install
our free mobile app and begin viewing your home and/or business right from
your phone.
New Technology
Analog HD (AHD) technology reduces cost by using the existing coaxial cable
infrastructure. AHD puts an end to network issues and IP conflicts, and
eliminates the need for an IT department to manage IP cameras. If you
purchased a video security system in the past 10 years and want to seamlessly
upgrade to HD, Night Owl’s AHD Series is your simple and cost-effective
solution. (Note: Night Owl recommends using a minimum cable gauge of 24AWG
cable for installation. Please test your existing cabling one at a time to ensure
compatibility)
Smart Device Integration
Night Owl fits right in with your mobile lifestyle. Remotely monitor your home
or business with our exclusive and free Night Owl HD app for IOS and Android
devices.

zone.
•Multiple Viewing Options with Digital Zoom
Night Owl HD allows the user to create “favorite” screens and view
multiple cameras from unlimited locations. Then, digitally zoom into
any image during video playback directly from a Smart Device. For
example, a business owner can view cash register activity in all four of
their sites on one screen. Night Owl enables you to monitor your home
and business simultaneously, without switching apps or devices. Talk
about being connected!

Night Owl HD allows you to easily play back video from multiple

Backwards-Compatible with Analog Cameras
Night Owl’s unique AHD DVR technology is also backwards-compatible with
existing analog cameras. Keep your original industry standard BNC connected
analog cameras as is, and add on Night Owl’s AHD 720p cameras to your
existing surveillance system by easily replacing the DVR. (Please note that
cameras must be installed in pairs. For example, channels 1 and 2 would operate with
analog cameras, and channels 3 and 4 would operate with AHD 720p cameras.)
Night Owl Setup Wizard
Configuring your DVR for the first time is simple. Since every user requires a
unique configuration for their security system, Night Owl provides a Setup
Wizard. The Setup Wizard will automatically launch upon the initial startup of
your DVR and will walk you through the process of setting up the DVR properly.
HDMI Connection to TV or Monitor
The DVR easily connects to multiple TV’s or monitors with the convenience of
two video outputs for instant viewing. The DVR is equipped with 1 VGA and 1
HDMI video output, creating broader coverage per square foot for homes and
small businesses. The product includes a 6 foot HDMI cable.

2 TB Pre-installed Security HDD
This system records up to 2 years of video with its pre-installed 2TB security
hard drive. If your needs change, you can always expand the system up to a
4TB internal SATA HDD. The hard drive was specifically designed for DVRs. It
provides faster read/write times and reliable recording of your video security
footage.
Indoor/Outdoor Night Vision HD Cameras
The AHD 720p cameras are equipped for night vision up to 100 feet, and auto IR
cut filter sensors that produce a clear and crisp image day or night. All
cameras are designed for use both indoor and outdoor, rain or shine, for an
extra layer of safety and deterrence. If there’s something out of place at your
home or business, it won’t escape the watchful eyes of this Night Owl Security

distant areas with ease and precision.
