My installation with ELK M1 and DVR setup.

I figured it out by creating only one event for the task to toggle a counter. Then an event when the counter equals 1 and an event when the counter equals 0. I like it :)

I added a keypad in my room and I want to program F1 to turn all lights On and F2 to turn on the siren. When I press F1 again, I want to turn off all the lights. When I press F2 again I want to turn off the siren.   I created a task to associate it to F1. Then I created those two rules for...

The DVR is set a one second. Let say it takes 4-5 seconds to send the e-mail. During that period, my understanding from my first test, is that it overlooks any I/O alarms. My dvr is a gadspot GS2003V.   I choosed to set timer to 15 seconds so that the second e-mail will include a picture with...

I use a x10 module to turn on/off two foscam camera. That works well and it adds protection againts power outage during a thunderstorm, which happens mostly when at home.

My DVR was also failing to send e-mail on port 25. The port can't be change and ssl is not supported. SMTP2GO was not working for port 25.   So I finally got something working by using MailEnable Standard which is free. It is a complete mail server running on top of Windows IIS. I installed it...

My DVR was set to 2 seconds, now it is set at 1 second. I will try your idea tomorrow.   Update:   It works well. First time, I tried 4 seconds for the output to create a pause. That was too fast for the dvr probably because it has to complete the first alert and doesn't queue alerts. I changed...

I have a problem to solve with a rule. This is my situation.   I have photobeams at the entry that when the house is secured, start a rule to turn on a relay that triggers an alert on I/O port, on a DVR. Then the DVR sense this alarm and send camera snapshot to an e-mail.   So my rule sends an...

I have been using Bell Canada smtp.bellnexxia.net for over a year. Once in a while, messages would not be delivered and this week, it stopped working completely.   So I tried SMTP2GO as suggested in this post and it worked just fine. I specified smtpcorp.com for the URL and port 2525. The...

  I needed to use iCMS with Windows, to retrieve video. That is why I thought of using Teamviewer, otherwise I would have to find an iOS app that support my DVR, but couldn't find one that allows replay.

Hi   I would like to share an idea that I got working today.   I have a Gadspot GS2003V DVR that I can't access from work because of firewall restrictions. The application iCMS that allows me to replay video, won't connect.   But with my iPad, I can connect to internet using a phone wifi...

I was going to use a FloodStop valve FS3/4NPT that I never took time to install, which is made of solid brass. The ELK is interesting but more expensive. The pressure varies from 30 to 55 psi. The Floodstop unit control has no input for an alarm system but as I did for the garage door, I am...

It just hit me. :excl: I don't need this sensor to protect the house when away. Since I already have the motorized valve, all I need is to close the valve when the alarm is in away mode.

Thanks for the info. Lowest price I found was $105 us so far. The company has a canadian web site, so I will write to them for resellers.

I am looking for a water flow sensor to fit to a 3/4 inch pipe, that could trigger a relay. I would then connect this relay to my ELK-M1. When triggered and alarm in away mode, the ELK-M1 would then turn off the main valve. Do you have suggestions for such water flow sensor that I could order...

They will send my items plus a shipping label to send back the other items. That's a really good service.

I just figured out what CTVA is all about. It is great to have CocoonTech working on a good business relationship between customers and suppliers. I filled a return request minutes ago choosing the option "shipping error".

Has it happened to anyone, to receive the wrong items? It happened to me yesterday and opened a ticket today and they haven't had time to answer for today, but wonder what are their politics when they make a mistake shipping the wrong items. I don't want to pay for shipping back to them. First...

I tried another power supply 12v 2000ma and my Microseven camera has no problem.

Recap: 2 Gadspot GS273C camera with each a power supply 12 1.5a. 1 Microseven camera with a 12v 800ma camera. I tried the power supply from the second GS273c camera (that had no problem), on the Microseven camera with the worst problem and it solved the problem. My first GS273C camera with a...
