Connecting and Adding your Device
NOTE: When adding a new device, it may take 5–10 minutes before you begin receiving notifications.

through a QR Code Setup. With Smart Auto Detection, your DVR will automatically be detected by the Night
Owl Connect software, making connecting easy! To use this preferred method, ensure your Smart Device and
