"The ELK M1G is sure a great security
device as a house-control. But it can not only control a townhouse, but also a
farm. And everything else too.
Have a look to the page "an ELK on the meadow" on my website:
http://www.viehweger.org/english/texas/elk.htm
which was originally written for www.cocoon.com
where you find more stuff regarding home-security & -automation.
The ELK-system solved a lot of my problems in a very easy way, - and has a great
support."

"...My
search brought me to the ELK M1 and M1 Gold Platform. The M1 has been around for
several years’ and the company that designed and manufactured the M1 has many
years of experience in the security industry.
ELK calls the M1 a “Platform” because it has endless options and
interfaces that can be built upon."

"My company started installing ELK systems
about a year ago and as a technician they are my favorite system to install
because of their simplicity of installation and programming and their
reliability. I just installed an M1G with the new TS-07 and the screens were
very cool!!!"

"The M1-GOLD is a very solid controller for
dedicated security and home automation. The ability to do an update without a
chip change is a win-win solution. It's ability to interface with other products
that have RS-232 control is outstanding. Also the ability to activate and
deactivate the voice annunciation is a plus also. We are so impressed with the
present controller and announced upgrades. We are now promoting the system to
builders for their model homes and subdivisions as well as homeowners."

"I
must say that your M1G product is the most innovative and ‘friendly’
security/automation I have ever worked with. It has EVERY feature I have
dreamed about for years….and even more. I never expected to integrate
automation with security to the degree that you have. And voice is just
icing on the cake! Even the small
touches like a heavy-gauge steel cabinet and built-in power switch, or the
‘battery reversed’ LED all help to make this system wonderful.
I am a newbie at your system and approach it from the computer side.
Once I got the ElkRP running I felt very comfortable with the system. The
M1G bridges the gap between old-school security systems and modern computer GUI
control.
The vision of your development team is top notch! I hope to further
my expansion into this new field you have created."

"We had been a Silent Knight Dealer since the 1960's, standardizing on their panels and
platforms in a job with 3 zones or 244 zones. After searching through
different platforms to be what we run our company with everyday , the Elk M1 is
a very nice fit. This company has a panel that you can retrofit into older
systems that will tolerate "old" protect loops without ringing off.
The panel sits like a rock. Keypads, zone expanders and relay outputs make this
a fit for running your business with ONE control panel, much like all regency
dealers from Silent Knight experienced. The M1 is only #2 at ELK Products when
compared to their tech line to overcome questions or problems. This is a company
that walks the walk. If you have any doubts, and you are a licensed alarm
company thinking about standardizing on this product, feel free to visit our
company and we will show you this product
in the field."

of the hardworking, independent dealer's needs, we fully, 100%, endorse ELK and
their efforts TO BE what others are NOT. Now all that being said.. THIS PRODUCT

"I LOVE this ELK M1 Gold! You guys
have done an OUTSTANDING JOB! Seems very high quality, both from a
hardware and software perspective and just a perfect feature set! I'd
have to say that this was the most easy to install and use system that I've ever
come across. Specifically, the wiring diagram and text on the cover for
the motherboard is terrific! And the plug-in terminals, which allow wiring
outside of the box, makes it easier in tight spaces. The ElkRP program is
particularly WONDERFUL: One can connect by several means, my favorite way
being by the Ethernet expansion board. The compare feature - between what
is programmed in the system and that in the RP's database is invaluable."
"Elk Products and the M1 Gold ROCK!"

"As a School District we do it a little
different. We do all Security, Fire, Access Control, Telco, Closed Circuit
TV, and Paging in house. The M1G is a control like no other. We found that
it can talk to and interface with many of our systems. Ease of programming
complex actions is a welcome change. Not a believer, have ELK send you
one. The people are just great to deal with."

***"I am very impressed with the new M-1 Control
and keypads. I found the system to be extremely easy to work with
especially for prior Moose control users with Z-1250 & Z-2000 experience.
I am very, very, very impressed with the features of the M-1 package. IT
IS TRULY WORTHY OF IT'S Z-1100 MOOSE HERITAGE. The keypads look simple but
very expensive looking and the temperature indication on the keypad was a
nice touch. This system was a perfect fit in the 1.7M$ residence that I
installed it in. Programming appears to be simple and intuitive and I am
excited about the voice response feature. I will give you more info and
impressions when I complete the project."
