  Zachary RodriguezJul 31, 2025
  If your Night Owl Security System is not receiving power, first, check that all cables are connected correctly and securely to the back of the unit. If the cables are correctly connected, ensure 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. You can also try connecting the power cable to another outlet.

  If your Night Owl Security System mouse is not detected, 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, reconnect the mouse cable to the USB Mouse port, and then reconnect the power cable to the DC 19V port on the rear panel to reset the system.
