Utilizing triplex technology, the DVR offers simultaneous recording, playback, and viewing of live feed thereby ensuring no loss of vital information.
Allowing remote access to cameras, the DVR lets you view images captured via Internet. Equipped with a 500GB hard disk drive, the DVR provides real-time video streams, playback of recorded streams, and back-up for the system in case of system failure. You can also view the images of the cameras on select 3G smart phones such as Windows mobile, Symbian, and iPhone.
You can view the images from all cameras simultaneously on 4 different portions of the screen and enlarge them by clicking on any of them. With a 400TVL resolution and 11 infrared LEDs, the 4 cameras offer high-quality images up to a distance of 30' even in low-light conditions. With motion activation feature, you can record only useful data and save space on your hard disk. It prevents false alarms by blocking out areas with constant speed such as roads and trees.
Using user-friendly icon-based interface, you can access all the features of the DVR. The DVR is equipped with 2 video outputs that can be connected to multiple TVs via 6' RCA cable for instant viewing. You can transfer the video to a USB flash drive or an external hard drive via the USB port.

Comments about Night Owl 4-channel H.264 DVR with 4 Night Vision Cameras:
great device for the price, only found two downsides, cameras don't have enough wide lense, you have to set the camera back enough to cover a large area, the other is no dvd recorder. On the plus side it has 2 output jacks you can connect two monitors at the same time, easy to install, and works with the internet.
