Night Owl’s AHD Series Camera Compatibility:
Your Night Owl PTZ camera is only compatible with Night Owl’s Analog HD DVR
Series and is preconfigured by default to be connected to Channel 1. Night Owl’s
Analog HD DVRs are compatible with most analog cameras (480-900TVL) and
Night Owl’s Analog HD (AHD) cameras. Please keep in mind cameras of similar
resolutions should be connected to the same channel block (top to bottom) on the
DVR. For example, a 900TVL camera will not display an image if it is connected
to the same channel block (top to bottom) as an AHD 720p camera Please refer to
the image below for additional reference:
