If the hard drive is not being detected by your Night Owl Security System, it may be due to loose or improperly connected hard drive cables.

In that case, open the cover and install a 3.5" SATA hard drive.
Why is my Night Owl THD301 Security System not powering on?
Your Night Owl Security System might not be powering on due to a loose or unplugged power adapter cable. Ensure all cables are correctly connected and the power adapter is securely connected to the back of the unit. It could also be that the system isn't receiving sufficient power. Confirm the system is powered ON and try bypassing any power bars or surge protectors by connecting the power directly to the wall outlet. Check if there is power at the outlet by testing with another device.
