Is anyone out there still using Elve?   Using the M1 driver (or any other way), how can I determine what area an elk zone is assigned to in an Elve script?

Interesting idea. I have a Geovision DVR and lots of cameras. I've never used object detection. One challenge I might have, I am in a rural area with lots of wildlife. Don't want trips from deer, bobcats, and the like.

Does anyone know if there is a replacement for the Resolution products RE104 driveway sensor or if someone else makes a wireless sensor that uses Crystal or Honeywell wireless protocols?

Sorry, I just saw your post. They have an online portal called BoldNetNEO which give you access to your account, view the zone configuration, see alarm and contact activity, put your system in test among many other features. You can also set up email notifications for arm/disarms and alarm...

Also use Alarm Relay, for a little over 10 years. Have always found them to be responsive and helpful. Basic Internet monitoring $10.95 per month, Cellular Backup monitoring, additional $12.00 per month, Customer Care package, Online account access and email notifications, additional $4.00 per...

Do you have a remote power supply in the barn? If not, with that length of run, you probably don't have 12 volts at the far end to run the expander card.

I was really hoping to do something dynamically, only silencing the disarm message for the scheduled morning disarm. At other times, I would want to hear the message. I don't think there is a way through the API to turn the volume on the speaker output to zero and then back again?

I have an Elk M1G, configured with two areas, the main house and the shop. The shop building area is armed at the end of the day and overnight and then disarmed in the morning when I'm ready to go to work. I generally disarm between 6:00 and 6:30 AM and would like to suppress the "Area two has...

I did purchase 2 of the Amcrest IP8m-T2499 cameras and have both of them installed in indoor installations. Both are 2.8mm lenses. Overall I am happy with them so far. They do exhibit some edge distortion but not any more that any of my Hikvision 2.8mm cameras. The image center frame is not...

Ano, thanks for your response.   I have two rather large CCTV installations, one with 16 cameras and another with 27. I use Geovision DVR software. Most of my cameras are Hikvision, 2K and 4K and generally I am happy with them, I was just searching for a less expensive 4K camera. The Hikvision...

I've been using Hikvision DS-2CD2385G1-I 2 8mp IP cameras and am pretty satisfied with them but would like to find something a little less expensive. I found this Amcrest camera for about $50 less per camera. The specs seem similar. Additionally the Amcrest has a built-in mic.   Does anyone...

Right. I just chose output 110. And since the Elk email capabilities are limited, I decided to turn on another output (111) if the conditions are true, and my Elve installation will watch for that output turning on and send the appropriate email/text.   Thanks!

I will give those rules a try, it looks like that should work.   To connect to the thermostat zone, I have a 24VAC relay drawing power from the furnace. To sense the fan running, I'm using a current sensing relay.

I have and Elk M1g installation and Elve home automation.   I am having reliability issues with one of my shop furnaces and want to monitor if the furnace starts correctly.   I have an Elk zone connected to the thermostat that calls for heat on the furnace (zone 52) i have an Elk zone connected...

Thanks, this really helps
