ELK’s M1ToGo Allows Users to Control Their System from Anywhere in the World

 

M1ToGo provides users computer-based, internet remote access to their M1 from anywhere in the world.  The secured Windows®-based platform allows users full access to their security system along with lighting and energy management, door/gate access and any other systems connected and controlled through the M1.  Unlike cloud based services, M1ToGo provides fast, real time performance through a direct connection to the M1.


The M1 Security and Control panel is extremely flexible and integration friendly and has been at the forefront of automation capability for many years.  “ELK is constantly looking for new ways to enhance the end user experience with the M1,” says Joel Rosson, ELK President.  “We think M1ToGo is a friendly and efficient interface that will provide an enhanced level of convenience to our users.”
