Remember the Essentials
A recording drive is required but not included with this item. Please be sure to purchase a recording drive that best suits your needs.
The Night Owl Poseidon 8-Channel H.264 DVR with D1 Recording (No HDD) allows you to instantly view videos from miles away using an internet-enabled PC, turning your computer into a surveillance hub. You can also view captured footage while on-the-go using select 3G/4G iPhone, Android, and Blackberry models. The triplex function allows you to view and playback videos even as the DVR continues to record, keeping the surveillance area fully secure. All videos are recorded in H.264 format at D1 resolution and come with a time and date stamp for official use.
In case of any movement in the vicinity under surveillance, the motion detection sensor triggers an alarm and instantly sends out an email notification to your inbox. You can also keep a track of high-risk areas during peak hours by switching to the DVR's time-scheduled recording mode. This will allow you to record for a specific period instead of continuously recording unwanted footage, thus saving space on your hard drive.
Critical surveillance footage can be transferred on a flash drive or USB hard disk for later use. For enhanced security, the DVR has a password protection feature that prevents unauthorized users from operating the system or viewing crucial data.

Comments about Night Owl Poseidon 8-Channel H.264 DVR with D1 Recording (No HDD):
This product has exceeded my expectations. It was easy to setup and has worked flawlesly in since put into service. It was a challenge to get setup so that I could see it via internet and iPhone but I kept at it and eventually got it going. I do have networking experience. I have been able to view my place while I have been traveling which has been very nice. I added a SATA hard drive that I had and am able to review the recorded video later. I hooked it up to my home cable system with a modulator and can see the dogs when they go out in the yard. Everything works very, very, well.
