I've read similar things on the internet. But, are you 10p% sure this is correct. Can you do it? I have zero knowledge of such things, so I cannot discern what's fact and fiction when it comes to this. I would like first hand knowledge from people who've had this happen or those who has the...

If my security camera NVR/DVR is hacked, what can the hacker do with it other than viewing the camera? Can the hacker insert malware into my router or computers attached to it? Thanks!

Ok, I think I got it. Some of the instruction videos I had viewed talked about setting up a static IP address but never mentioned a third party service (And yet I've heard of needing a third party to get static IP). I didn't realize there was the LAN static IP and WAN static IP. I am pretty sure...

I will be using the Elk M1XEP Ethernet port with my Elk Mk1 gold set up. I am a complete novice and as I understand (which in no way is complete yet), the Ethernet port will connect the ISY 994i which in turn will control Insteon lighting. This is done via LAN. For all of this to work well, do I...

Ok got it now. I did see the instruction on enrolling keypad addresses. Just the part about the first keypad being enrolled automatically threw me off. Thanks!

I am using the m1dbh data bus hub. I have three keypads and I want one specific one to be the first keypad automatically enrolled upon power up. How does m1k pick which of the three will be keypad 1. Will it be the one hooked to terminal J1 of the data bus hub? Thanks!

Thanks!

Ok thanks. So if I don't want to use either of those two, could I just leave those wires unused inside the keypad?

The keypad plugin cable has 6 wires. What exactly is the use for the blue and brown wire?   The instruction says the brown wire can be used for the 'Optional Programmable output from keypad'.....I am an extreme novice, exactly what does this mean?   The instruction says the blue wire is for the...

The instructions that came with the p212s only has instructions to connect it to the M1 main board's 4-wire data bus. But, I am using the M1DBH data bus and there are no instruction to connect it to that. Couldn't I do that?   Is it the same as that of keypads? Red to brown, Black to Wht/Brn...

Thanks! Page 10 says to use 16 to 18 gauge minimum wire for the transformer. I should have looked it up. I now see the battery leads attached to the m1 board too. I should have looked at these more carefully before posting this question. Thank you!

I think almost all of the elk components I got came with the wires for installation. The battery and the ac module/transformer didn't come with it. What kind of wire do I need for this? And how do I cover/seal the connection so there is no exposed wire at the joint? Thanks!

Update: I got the m1k gold kit two days ago. It already has the M1XEP Ethernet interface, so I don't need an additional one (line item 2), So I am returning that. Now I have everything I need to install the system. I will start the process at the end of this month. I am relying on this boards...

Thanks!

I am using the extra two CAT 6 wires I won't need for the M1KP2 keypad for the SP12F speaker. I also got the flush mount backbox for the keypad and I see a place to mount the speaker. What size screws do I need to install these. The kit didn't come with it.   Thanks!
