I was gonna say the rule works because you added and garage overhead is not secure basically by using the status secured or not secured of a contact for the garage door your could know if the door moved to the closed or opened position, any other position would not be relevant.

what are you trying to do for both scenarious you posted

my system is not monitored with a central station, to me its pointless because metro police wont respond to residential alarm or any alarm other than a confirmed signal. so yes i would like to know what happened while i have been away prior to entering my home. also you cant have a siren going...

in reply to the original post. you could take a look at this motion if nothing else works for you http://www.optexamer...t/34/RX40pi.pdf this is the motion i have in my house, uses something called " quad zoning" the link will explain this technology this optex motion has successfully...

hey video321 how are you bro. if you are dealing with break-ins in your area using the back slider you may want to get your perimeter protection revised.... As others pointed out already, perimeter protection is fundamental, but it seems to be overlooked. there are reliable products for outdoor...

you meant to say at the end where most "wireless" ones only trip once then go to sleep for a few minutes ;)

I can tell you this there is a 3 wire serial (DB9) connection to it. So you can connect it to a PC and mirror the keypad with software, basically remote control it as if you were in from of it. I doubt you can do the speaker behind it is a lot smaller than the KP2. they only told me about a 4...

hello. first of all what exactly are trying to accomplish with a motion sensor and a door bell chime?

to the original poster. tell me about your perimeter. how many windows are accesible from outside? do you have pets or animals around your perimeter?

hello broconne as stated by another poster you will not get a camera to see in the dark without any artificial lighting means (IR for example) but what you could to is find an inexpensive PoE camera, Panasonic, Y-Cam, or Vivotek, that has a very low lux setting, and you leave a night light or...

To add to the information already provided by mustangcoupe, this is what I was told at ISC by ELK The new 2-way receiver is designed to work only with the new ELK 2 way devices (not interoperable with other brand of devices). Existing Elk receiver for Honeywell and GE will work in conjunction...

I agree with you Sandpiper. Under certain conditions the code allows you to run LV and HV wires in the same conduit, but it is not common practice out there, at least in my line of work (commercial, industrial). We usually run separate conduits and I would do the same in residential just for...

I have seen both documents from Kidde and specifically this part: "SM120X can be used to activate auxiliary warning devices such as external bells and sirens, hallway or stairway lighting." that implies that this relay is to be used with other fire appliances that require power, and every...

Jlegan if your windows/doors are brand new you need to check with the manufacturer about making holes for those micra devices. most manufacturers specially windows will void your warranty as soon as you make any holes. just a heads up. I almost made that same mistake

Could your post a connection diagram to your ELK. I have read the manual of that relay over and over and the contacts it provides are only to be used with a manual station, when the manual is pulled then those contacts close, then 120 v or 9v is supplied to other devices. Any help will be...
