A DIY'er with an Elk M1?
Nice
I don't know about Elk, but many other manufacturers will not give out
software to "unqualified" individuals. BUT there are some here who will
do anything for a buck.
Many Central Stations will not risk the liability of monitoring an
account that was not installed by a qualified or licensed individual,
and refuse to do it. AGAIN there are some here that will do that for a
Buck and a half.
Sorry Olson- not all C.S.'s ask for "installer codes" or for that matter
program their own info.
