(03:18:12 AM) Night Owl 39: Yes, but to make changes on the DVR, you will need a monitor connected. When I asked support about changing settings I got this answer: (when trying to remotely configure the DVR a window pops up with some values and an error saying "Query Settings Failed"). Getting annoyed I reached out to Night Owl chat and they sent me their CMS app which at least lets me view the cameras on my PC but doesn't allow me to change settings on anything. Tried in Firefox, Chrome, Edge, and IE with the same results. There was a link to a new plugin package so I installed it and restarted my browser. I tried connecting to the web port from Firefox and got a message that I was either missing a plugin or it was out of date. Went through the setup wizard with a monitor and mouse connected directly to the DVR, everything came up fine and I thought everything was honky dory. I purchased a cheap Night Owl AHD7-841-R and connected channels 1-4 to the existing cameras. So I recently purchased a house that has cameras mounted but no DVR (the old owners took it with them for some reason). Likewise, if you have a question yourself you should start your own topic, not attempt to derail from the OP's question by posting your own questions in the comments. While elaboration and further suggestions are generally okay, the point of comments should be to answer the OP's question not to change the topic to fit your personal preference/beliefs. If the poster is asking about cameras, simply posting that they should get a gun is not acceptable. As in, if a poster asks for suggestions about a hardwired alarm, simply answering to get a camera is not acceptable. Comments should answer the OP's question.Links to sources/information is okay in limited situations where it directly relates to conversation, but posters should not be regularly posting the same external sites/other subreditts over and over again.
