    DVR Units - Opinions needed

    I just came across a great source to buy this DVR unit for $1199.00, and was curious if anyone had any opinions on it? It's a bit pricey, but it has the following specs and $1599 is the cheapest I've seen it online: 16 channel video / 16 channel audio, pentaplex, 480fps, DVD-RW, 250 SV series...

    Smarthome's ApplianceLinc - Kills X10?

    Okay, I think I've read similar comments here, but I just wanted to confirm that others were still experiencing issues. I purchased the Insteon Appliancelincs from Smarthome, as they no longer sold the X10 only version of the product. The Insteon version is backward compatible with X10, so I...

    Why is the Elk M1 so popular?

    Since JDS Technologies (The maker of the Stargate) is no longer offerring the IVR board because some of the parts are no longer available, I'm beginning to look at other options in the event my board ever fails. The Stargate controller has been solid and extremely dependable as the heart of my...

    W800 Range increase?

    I've finally gotten around to installing more Door/Window sensors and I'd like to know if there are any ideas out there for increasing the RF range or increasing the reciever range. I have some new sensors installed in my basement that don't always get picked up. Also, as a side note, I put...

    Another Cheap Touchscreen Computer...

    Thanks to some folks on the JDS maillist, I've purchased a couple Intermec 5055B units from EBay for around $99. It has an AMD 333mhz processor with 128MB of RAM. These are refurbished POS machines and come with embedded DOS. The B34 unit is capable of Windows 2000, however as I don't yet have...

    Watercop Opinions?

    Hopefully I haven't posted this twice (got interupted and computer went into suspend mode, and I'm retyping it now). I'm curious how many folks out there are using Watercop and what your opinion is on it? I searched the forums, and didn't see any info on it. I looked into buying the starter kit...

    Camera Power Distribution (12v)

    I'm finally finding some time to dedicate to home security & automation again and my first target is an issue I've been experiencing on my cameras. I'm encountering quite a bit of "noise" on many of the feeds, which are horizontal lines and create a wavy look for the picture. It's driving me...

    3Com Audrey's? What's a good replacement?

    I have three 3com Audrey's, of which I'm still using one. I like their functionality with Homeseer, but their instability has been a pain. The main purpose I use them for is for slideshows (homeseer plugin for audrey) and also controlling my whole-house MP3s via a web interface (shows now...

    "Deep Impact" a Success

    Quest for new cameras turns up deal

    I was researching replacement cameras for my B&W target specials that I installed when we built the house 5 years ago and stumbled upon a pretty decent deal... My main camera requirements are low-lux color capable cameras (dual mode is fine, which means it switches to B&W in low light). I...

    IR543AH - Where to buy?

    Does anyone know of a source to purchase the IR543AH? For those who don't know, this is the modified version of the IR543, which allows you to control all 256 codes via IR (ie. with my pronto) without the need to switch the code dial. I found a couple sites with it for over $100, but I can't...

    Need something from Smarthome?

    I hope I'm not stepping on any sponsor's toes, but I saw a previous post from someone on selling Smarthome items, and thought I might offer my access to Smarthome's wholesale prices. If I am stepping on toes, feel free to remove this post as I am not looking to endeavor in a dedicated commercial...

    CQC Software?

    I was reading the AVSforums and came across someone posting about home automation software called CharmedQuark or CQC. Has anyone heard of it? They claim to be similar to Homeseer yet leaning towards the creston custom install side. The software hardly has the support or modules to justify the...
