      If your Night Owl Security Camera system beeps during motion detection, it's likely because the alarm buzzer is activated. To disable it, go to Right-Click Menu > Main Menu > Cameras > Motion, select the Channel, and uncheck the Buzzer checkbox.

      If your Night Owl Security Camera system isn't powering on, check these potential causes: * Ensure all power adapter cables are correctly and securely connected, both to the camera and the power source. * If cables are connected but the system is not receiving power, make sure the system is powered ON (LED indicators should be ON). If connected to a power bar or surge protector, try connecting directly to the wall outlet. Confirm the outlet has power by testing with another device, such as a phone charger, or try another outlet.

      If there is no picture being displayed on selected channels of your Night Owl Security Camera, the camera cables might be loose or disconnected. Check the camera video cable and its connections. Disconnect and then reconnect the cable at both the system and the camera. You might also want to try moving the camera to another channel or using a different cable to see if that resolves the issue.

      If your Night Owl Security Camera system is not detecting the mouse, ensure the mouse cable is firmly connected to the USB Mouse port on the front panel. If that doesn't work, power off the system by disconnecting the power cable, then firmly connect the USB mouse to the USB Mouse port on the front panel. Finally, reconnect the power cable to the DC 19V port on the rear panel.
