Question 1

Will this work with my Blue Iris server to view on my Vera3 Home automation site like I can with my 5 Foscam IP cams?

Accepted Answer

No. Night Owl DVRs come with embedded software and the unit becomes its own server. IP cameras won't work as it uses an internal IP address to talk to your local network and an external IP address to allow remote access from anywhere. I own six Night Owl systems and they are fabulous for the price.

Question 2

What does no HDD included mean?

Accepted Answer

It means there is no hard drive included.  It is BYOHD (Bring Your Own Hard Drive).  Purchase the hard drive separately.  It is very easy to install a hard drive in these units.
