Hi y'all, we've got an M1 and need to control a circuit in a detached garage that we can't get wires to.  In the past we have used Linear Xmit/Rcvr to do this.  Does anyone know of other options to accomplish this?  We will have the Elk initiate the transmitter and the receiver will trigger a...

We have been installing primarily, Moose/Caddx/GE/Interlogix for a long time.  Mostly because they are so user freindly and easy to setup/program.  High end is mostly Elk because we stick with our roots.  Recently I found out UTC is done and we need to find a new "go to system" for our installs...

I also have longer delays on my OHGD's. And I have Fobs and an Rf rcvr. But VIC's question got me wondering.  Can you teach your car button to use the elk to open the garage door via a relay?  Then you could use rules to disarm?  It may make your house less secure though.  Say if someone stole...

techteacher, have you also considered, that if your power is out your modem/router/switch must also have a backup source of power or you wont be contacted by your system.  Makes that Tesla batt' look better!

Could you just make your BR windows force armable and interior?  I don't know for sure, haven't tried this application.

In addition to not mixing manufacturers detectors, no one has mentioned that the relay on the 350 only triggers when that head goes into alarm.  If there is a fire is in another area of the house and the devices are all sounding, the relay and hence the security system would not be triggered...

We do this alot with NX panels.  We use one of the programmable outputs on the NX board to trigger an Elk relay which in turn triggers the reversing module.  Program the output to go to neg. when triggered, by a fire zone,  non-latching and silence on code entry.  We use the Elk relay because...

Why not supervise the 120v power at the end of the circuit? Just like you would with a 4-wire smoke circuit. Wouldn't this meet the requirement? You could wire the zone through a 120v relay and get a trouble signal when the power goes out. The problems I see would be nuisance troubles for...

Thanks Del, I will look into an IPDact.

I am trying to monitor an Ademco Vista panel over the i-net. (No land lines.) The Ademco module connects with honeywell's central station. Does anyone know of a way or a device to send this directly to another CS? Thanks,cdc

Hello pros, I have a new customer w/a Notifier NSF 320e Fire panel. I am looking to program new devices/descriptions and dialer programming. Previously someone here provided a link to a site that has programming info and software for downloading. Does anyone know where I can find this...

Thanks to all for your help. I new I would get solutions here. There are a number of Windows work stations, but as far as what keyboards they use? There could be several manuf. I am going to look at the web control (amazon) and the IP Camera with outputs since it will be located in the area of...

Sorry about that. I was asking about the function keys on a keyboard. Thanks also for he link. BTW, there are IP phones in this office. Does anyone know if IP phones have the ability to trigger an output or one of these IP relays? CDC

Hello to all. I am looking for a way to activate a relay from workstations on a LAN. After viewing someone at the entry door on desktop (via IP Cam)I would like to give users the capability to release the door lock. Are "F" keys programmable to do this? Can I use a serial output of a PC and...

The GE GSM Module uses the AT&T Cellular network. We have a client in a location that has no AT&T signal. Does anyone know of an alternate dialer that would communicate signals from the NX panel over Verizon's network? Thanks, CDC
