2017-05-29\u00a0I created a new video to help people to connect to the DVR remotely from outside the house using Night Owl HD CMS apps.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/div><\/p>\n

For those who can’t seem to get this to work with AT&T U-verse modem and wifi combo, you must add the device into the AT&T firewall pinholes option.<\/em><\/p>\n

3 years ago I got a Night Owl Security Camera Box<\/a> for my house and one of the camera port no longer records. Costco has one box on sale for $299 with 4HD cameras and 1080p recording, so I got one to try out. Costco has 2 years warranty on this box.<\/em><\/p>\n

The 1080P camera don’t display as clear as the 480p I had on line, but the recording\u00a0<\/em>videos did come out much clearer due to 720p.\u00a0The 1080P recording only at 15fps while 720p is 30fps, I prefer the 720p @ 30fps.<\/i><\/p>\n

The set up is easy, but the video play back files are not playable with any\u00a0player on Mac OS X, only playable with the Night Owl HD CMS<\/a>. Windows OS has the software called AVI Generator (PC)<\/a> that can convert downloaded video “.rf” to ‘.avi’ . So this could be a break deal for people who only have Mac.<\/em><\/p>\n

The iOS and Android apps work perfectly without any problems. I installed both on my iPhone 6, iPad 4 and Toshiba Android Pad. I prefer to set up with static ip instead of dhcp and make sure to find out what your ip address<\/a> and use the ISP ip address to access remotely (away from home) with all the apps.<\/em><\/p>\n

Importantly, make sure to configure port\u00a0forwarding in the router for both port 9000 and 2049 for remote access. Make sure the ip address is the box\u00a0<\/em>address (static).<\/i><\/p>\n
