I think commas make longer pauses, but that probably doesn't matter since the dialer isn't even attempting to seize the line. Make sure you entered your phone correctly -- no spaces, no area code for local call, reporting format 5 with no more than two dialing attempts. I would also try...

Can you post the rule you are using to test?

Are you typing in the same url from both locations? You know you have an 'in-network' address and an 'out-of network' address, right?

;) The manual pretty clearly spells out the differences. When all else fails, read the instructions. Do you have the manual?

Did you turn the chime off? I don't think it can chime and speak at the same time. Otherwise, your rule should work fine. One of mine looks like.... When doorbell becomes not secure....and it is dark outside....then announce (doorbell)...then turn on lights on the front porch, driveway and...

It's hard to explain, but it isn't long until everyone falls into a routine and it becomes superfluous. Don't get me wrong, we had an audio monitor for a little while with our first and it was sometimes neat to just listen while the baby was waking up and talking and playing alone. Quite...

I agree on both counts, friend. Just trying to help, so cool your jets. Besides, I pointed out in my post that it didn't meet your 'network' requirement. I know very little of cameras, other than there is likely nothing out there that meets all your requirements. Otherwise, you (or someone...

How about this one. Not networked, but its only $100.00! One day only over at Woot Features: * Secure wireless encrypted transmission is completely private * Hand held monitor with 2.36†color display, black and white display while in night vision * Quick and easy set up...

Sure, the garage is fine. Are you worried about it being secure or looking ugly? You could always run the wire in conduit and put the unit in a locked box...

That's normal. It can't talk over the speakers and over the phone line at the same time. To solve this, I made specialized email messages that are sent to my phone in the event of an alarm. That way, you still get the alarms over the speakers and an immediate message on your phone stating...

That is correct. I have the same wiring configuration throughout my 2-story. Wiring to the switches consists of a single 12/2 wire w/ground ("switched hot" wire). Almost all of these either come up from the (unfinished) basement or down from the attic. I have found that it is not too...

Now that's funny! ;)

This guy just creased it!

Yep. Slimmer than a business card. Paint or paper right over it. Never used it myself, but I have seen it. I'd go with the pro installer. They really can get it anywhere!

What he's describing sounds just like an insert to me (or at least a decent wood burner). We heat two floors of our home with a fireplace insert. It has been our experience, as others have posted, that it takes a while (several hours) to even things out. Do run your HVAC fan. If I start a...

I do this. My Elk rule looks like this: WHENEVER ANY ALARM, ANY AREA TURNS ON AND AREA ARMED THEN DIAL DAD'S CELL (123-4567) AND ANNOUNCE KEYPAD PANIC ALARM (Vm209) In the "Telephone" section, I have my cell phone set up as type=0 (always report to this number) and I have...

The three-way I want to mix up the manufacturers on is a real three way, not a virtual one. So, if I'm reading your replies correctly, this CAN be done. Thank you for your help!

I was under the impression that I could not announce over my Elk (system) speakers. I thought I would have to wait until I had the whole-house audio system in place. Am I mistaken?

I've not decided on HS or any other PC based controller, as I don't think I'm fully utilizing the Elk's functions yet. I feel like I need more of an infrastructure in place to take advantage of such a system. I would also want a dedicated PC to run it. In fact, I'm still trying to make it to...

Elk M1 panel, several motions, door sensors, UPB switches. I don't really know what to do next. I want to be set up/prewired for anything and everything before I finish off the basement, however, so I'm looking for some direction in that regard as well That's a good idea and easy enough to...
