My mother-in-law is moving into a new (for her) house, and the existing security system is a Moose Z700 (circa 1996).    I have only been in the house twice, but as far as I can tell, all 6 wired zones still work (the red light illuminates on both keypads when the relevant zone is not secure)...

I have an unused coax cable (probably RG-59) that I would like to use for a POE IP camera in a location where it would be difficult to pull a cat5 cable.     I picked up a couple of these DECA connectors (Directv Ethernet Coaxial Adapter--DTV's much cheaper version of MOCA to put ethernet on...

I want to replace the Saft lithium thionyl chloride batteries in my wireless door and window sensors (LS14250C and LS14500C), and would like to find a reputable place to buy a reputable brand (preferably Saft since they have worked well for me) that is not selling cheap counterfeits or...

I've been using IP cameras (Vivotek) with POE, and I do not have any experience with analog camera setups.   But there are a couple of locations where I want cameras (e.g. door jams), and it seems that analog cameras may be my best (and maybe only) bet for these locations.  I'm using both Blue...

I have a Vivotek FD8134 PoE IP camera with “+” and “-“ digital inputs for external sensors and alarms.  The digital input can be configured with an active state of either low (which I think is the default) or high.  While I could not find any voltage limitation on the FD8134, I know the FD8136...

Did the Premise Wiki get moved or is it just unavailable during the transition?  The link in the sticky simply returns to the forum home page....

I am familiar with the process for using the W800RF32 and Elk M1 to monitor the "security code" from an X10 DS10A, but I'm unclear as to how regular X10 signals are monitored. Does the Elk also look for an ASCII text string off the W800RF32 (via the M1XSP) in response to an X10 transmitter or...

I have been using an SA UPB powerline interface module to bench test the Elk M1 and a couple of UPB lights. I've been switching it back and forth between the M1 (for testing) and my computer (for reconfiguration of the devices in Upstart). Upstart now finds the PIM on the proper port but...

I wonder if someone can help me with port forwarding for the M1XEP. My router/firewall, CheckPoint's UTM-1 Edge W, offers me "allow and forwarding" or simply "allow" from a connection source to a destination source. I can designate the specific TCP port(s), but I can't figure out whether I...

I'm ready to take the plunge into an ELK system, and I've spent hours (actually days) reviewing the threads and related materials here and on the ELK, CQC, and other websites. My thanks to all of you who have provided so much information, and although my head is spinning, things are becoming...
