Night Owl FTD 4-8 NVR
I purchased the FTD 4-8 a few years back from AAFES. This NVR has eight wired ports for cameras, plus 4 wireless ports that can't be accessed. I installed the 8 wired cameras, and I kept one screen up all the time to display the perimeter. Also, the menu option do not give you an option for 8 cameras, but 9. So a black screen was displayed all the time for camera 9. Recently, I decided to cycle the cameras, and sure enough, the unused wireless ports also appear on the monitor with a black screen, and the message "Not Enrolled". It is such a nuisance to have to cycle thru 4 blank screens. I researched high and low to figure out how to disable the 4 wireless ports, to no avail. I eventually reached out to Night Owl, and was told, these wireless ports cannot be disabled. I guess this way a person would have to purchase 4 wireless cameras to clear these black screens. So keep this in mind when researching this Night Owl product.
