Hey folks! First post here....It seems (with my limited experience) that Night Owl is proprietary to their own cameras. I have a new Amcrest IP4M-1083EW-AI sitting in a box in my shop I would love to use...it there a way to get it to work with my DVR? There does not seem to be a lot of setup options on my Night Owl DVR-FTD4-8, I hope I am just overlooking something.. Thanks in advance!
 
Nope. Plus the night owl is analog and and the Amcrest is IP, which are two different types of technology.
