Reolink to Hikvision NVR power issues?
Ladies and Gents I could really use some guidance here. I am trying to help my FIL install some perimeter cameras to his existing system. He currently has a HIKvision NVR 16 channel with about 12 cameras on it. I was trying to find the best compatible …
Homekit integration between Lutron and Alarm.com
Have our lighting and alarm integrated in Homekit which is working well. I am trying to setup an automation to turn on all the lights when an alarm is triggered, but it’s not working. Has anyone else set this up? I configured the automation to turn on lights when the security panel is “triggered”.
Any ideas on how to accomplish this?

Looking for an in-car camera that doesn’t need wifi or cell service to record for when parked at work.
Mainly to be used due to vandalism among other security concerns during an 8 hour shift. Viewing the sides of the car would be preferable. Wasn’t sure if something like a gopro 360 plugged into a power bank would be a good option, something like a reolink/trailcam, or a more dedicated dashcam style system would work better.

Looking for an ultra-slim concealed magnetic contact for aluminum window (2–3 mm magnet side)
Hi everyone, I’m working on a home alarm project and I’m looking for a concealed magnetic contact for an aluminum window. The main challenge is that I need the magnet part (the side without wires) to be extremely thin – around 2–3 mm. Most of the reces…
Professional Opinions Needed On Wireless Reliability
DMP dealer here. We focus on commercial with the ocassional residential job mixed in. Looking for opinions on wireless transmitter performance. DMP panels, apps and software offer a lot of advantages but we have what I think is a high out of box sensor failure rate at 10%. We have noticed that Honeywell is far more reliable out of the box. I would do more residential if we didn’t have so many returns. I am looking for opinions from others. Thanks.

Low battery – which cabinet?
I have a DSC 1864 in one cabinet, and 5204 Aux board in the second. 4Ah and 7Ah batteries in each respectively. Just got the low battery message on the touch screen (PTK5507) – no wireless sensors – all wired. Is there anyway to tell which battery is …
GE Concord 4. “5 beeps” very randomly. Months!
See title. Once every 2-3 months the keypad will issue 5 quick beeps. Display shows “no trouble”. There is no warning that I need to clear. Manual says 5 beeps every minute is a trouble condition, but this doesn’t seem like that given there is no trou…
AlarmNet Failure, security events missing
I have an AlarmNet system, Vista 20p with a LTEM-PV. I had recently noticed I was no longer getting sensor/security events. The TC app didn’t give me any clue that something was wrong. I did get a very random loud beep off of my 6160 key pad. When I checked the logs I noticed a large gap in Security Events.
I have my services setup through AlarmGrid. I would think I should get some type of notice that something was wrong?
A hard power reset of the LTEM-PV and all is back to normal. Lights on the unit looked normal. Obviously the LTEM-PV was in some type of failure state. I’m not sure how it would have passed a daily check.
I asked AlarmGrid for an explanation but they are completely silent.
