While that is multi-conductor cabling, that is not an ethernet type cable.  It does look twisted either.  Another option would be this: https://www.doorbird.com/downloads/datasheet_a1071_en.pdf   You would need a different enclosure for the camera to house this converter though.  It would allow...

Current browsers haven't supported TLS 1.0 and 1.1 for about 2 years now (early 2020 is when they were deprecated) and only TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 are supported.  So just TLS support being listed doesn't mean much.  The use of Internet Explorer would provide TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 support though.  ...

Not many people are using AOL these days.   You could reach out to Elk and ask them if the update would solve this issue or if they know how to fix it.  Chances are it deals with a certificate issue.  You could try a service that still offers SMTP on a non-encrypted port of 25.   Like this...

Monopoly or not, they still want your money.  In many cars, you can subscribe to satellite radio service.  There is only one company that offers the service.  If you sign up, at the end of the agreement they raise the rates.  Call and say the words, "cancel service" and a customer retention...

Almost every company that provides a service seems to up their price year after year.  If you call to cancel then you get sent to a customer retention group that then will lower your payment to what you were paying.  I just wish companies would offer a price and keep to it.  I guess overall they...

Costs have gone up.  Network hardware, costs have gone up.  Electronics, costs have gone up.  Computer chips, costs have gone up.  Shipping costs have gone up.   https://www.cnbc.com/2021/11/19/surging-shipping-costs-to-drive-consumer-price-inflation-unctad-says.html   Smoke detectors and CO...

  Yes, System Sensor has a module that connects up to 12 of their detectors and they use 2 or 3 zones on the panel.  The module is capable of splitting the CO alert from a smoke alert.   To the OP.  You probably ordered from a seller of System Sensor.  Have you tried a different seller?  A quick...

The BBB is strongly biased to their members.  A company that has an A rating as is a member is not the same as a company with an A rating and is not a member.   If the BBB didn't look out for their members then why would a company willingly pay the BBB money?  If the BB holds member companies...

Some of the cable is also stranded rather than solid.  Then you need the correct plugs to use with stranded Catx cable as well.

There is the NX-595E board.

For RJ45 male plugs, look into Panduit FP6X88MTG connectors.  They also support 22 to 26 AWG wire.  They can also be reused around 10 times.  So they are more expensive than crimp style plugs, but they are more versatile.  I already had a lot of Panduit cabling in my network, so I've used these...

The chip shortage might be playing a factor and this would then necessitate the need to repair rather than replace in some cases.  it is a possibility that they put the board through their "tests" and somehow it passed.  Or they found "an" issue and fixed that but didn't fix "the" issue.

Something like this?   https://shop.homeseer.com/products/ultrajones-ultram1g3-plug-in-for-hs3      

There are many Home Automation (HA) systems available and quite a few have plugins/add-ons that can communicate with certain panels.  So if you want to keep your current panel, then you would look to see what HA systems support your panel.   I have water detection via Z-Wave that is tied to my...
