Smartphone Integration
There's an App for that! Unlike most security systems in the marketplace, the L-85-8511 system does not require the user to connect to a PC in order to view videos. The L-85-8511 DVR comes with the free Night Owl Lite App for seamless integration with a Smartphone or Tablet PC, so you can view live videos directly on your phone or tablet. With Night Owl's Smartphone integration you can monitor your security system on the go.

PC and MAC Connectivity with free CMS Software
The L-85-8511 system is still accessible over the internet via PC and MAC computers, for seamless recording and management of video. The included Control Management Software (CMS) for PCs gives you the ability to monitor multiple locations on one computer screen (the CMS software supports up to 100 different L series security kits, installed at one or multiple locations).

PC and MAC Compatible
It allows to view, playback, backup, configure DVR Settings remotely via Safari 5.1 or 6.0, Internet Explorer or included PC Software.

Powerful Control Management Software (CMS)
Using the CMS software you can log onto 100 DVRs at once and view multiple locations on one screen. It is compatible with Windows 2000, XP, Vista, 7 and 8.

Motion Activated Recording with Real Time Email Alerts
Motion activation allows you to record only when necessary and makes it easy to find important footage during video playback. This will save you time and conserve hard drive space. Enhanced motion detection settings ensure that false alarms are not triggered. An easy motion detection mask allows you to block out areas with constant movement, such as roads or trees. 5 times larger than CIF and over 33% larger than D1, 960H is the perfect resolution to fit your widescreen TV or monitor. 960H allows you to record at a resolution of 960 by 480 horizontal TV lines, so images are crisper and clearer than both CIF and D1. This new standard was designed to fit the most recent monitors and TV's. With 960H recording and HDMI output, you will clearly see the difference.
