Before I pull the trigger and order a new Elk M1G system board, I thought I'd see if anyone had any other suggestions...   The sequence of events was...   Lightning nearby... magical blue smoke.... $12k insurance claim.     From the time power restored, the ELK reported "Over current" and a long...

Greetings all.  A lightning event last weekend has given me the "opportunity" to replace most of my ELK setup and my surveillance cameras.  Unfortunately, I've been on a several-year-long period of everything working perfectly and thus haven't been following the forums.  My current knowledge...

Greetings, I'm wondering if there is a mechanism by which I can add text / button to a web page reflecting the armed/disarmed status of my ELK-M1G? Security isn't an issue as this would all be running behind SSH. Just a nudge in the right direction (if it exists) would be helpful. TIA, Chuck

Greetings. I'm hoping to be pointed in the right direction. I've been a CQC user for 3 or 4 years and over time I'm using less and less of it's functions. At this point all I use is the ELK M1 Interface to report alarm status and the web widget to display a few cameras. Sonos and Sage have...

Hey all, I'm wondering if anyone has taken a swing at building an in-wall touchscreen with one of the "touchscreen kits" from Earth Computer Technologies. http://store.earthlcd.com/LCD-Products/Touch-Screen-Products This is getting into an area that I know little about, but it looks possible...

Greets, So I've got a set of rules using a counter and output timer so that if KeyFob button 4 is activated 3 or more times within a 15 second window a rule will activate... Is there a way to trigger a panic alarm with a rule? (I'm not seeing any way) Any help would be appreciated.

Greets all, I'm interested in a way to reduce the volume to certain Elk speakers during certain times of the day. Currently I am using an output expansion relay to have the Master Bedroom speaker either binary ON or OFF -- (OFF during the times when the baby is likely to perceive any sound as...

Can someone please steer me towards some sort of power terminal or bar that makes it easy to connect DC voltage from the Elk to the numerous low current devices requiring it? A vendor or url would be most appreciated. Searching the boards reveals mention of "Euro strips" but I haven't really...

Bah! Another question. :P Anyhow, I can connect to my M1G via ethernet perfectly well using ElkRP as well as a web browser. My non-secure port is set to open. ElkRP, however, won't connect. I've tried this from two computers and have installed "dotnet 2.0". I've uninstalled and...

Greets all. Let me preface by declaring my complete newb-ness. Tomorrow I'm planning to "go live" with phase I of my Elk retrofit -- the security. I've been "bench testing" for a couple of weeks and I think I'm ready to move my home's zone sensors from an existing DSC panel into the M1G...

Greets all. I'm contemplating putting in a Russound Compoint intercom system and I noticed that the Compoint ISSP single-gang optional speakers might be a good accessory for Elk voice output. They are 8 ohm, single-gang, relatively unobtrusive, and $25 from basshome.com ISSP Russound...

I'm wondering if somehow I've missed a manual for the Elk RP software. I've watched the training videos and read the M1G manuals multiple times, but I still have some confusion about some of the setup and programming options in the RP software. This is just a "for example".... Is there a...

Total newb here. I've got an existing smoke system that I'd like to retrofit into a new ELK or HAI panel (still deciding) and the answer to this question might help me decide. Here's the wiring diagram for the existing smokes... It's a "BRK Electronics" sys for what it's worth. Maybe 8...

Hello all! Pardon my first post being a question rather than an answer, but I'm but a babe in the woods with regard to security. What I'm looking for is some sort of enclosure that will protect exterior telephone wires and/or a telephone junction box. This, of course, is to diminish the risk...
