In today’s smart home environments, customization is key. The ELK-120 Recordable Driver Module delivers unmatched versatility for personalized notifications, providing a perfect solution for unique doorbell tones, chime messages, and alert signals. Whether you're enhancing convenience, improving safety, or adding a personal touch to your system, the ELK-120 is designed to meet your needs with ease.
Versatile Customization for Doorbell Tones
The ELK-120 allows you to replace standard doorbell chimes with custom-recorded tones or messages, adding a unique and memorable element to your entryway. Imagine greeting visitors with a cheerful, personalized message or a distinctive sound that reflects your style. With 480 seconds of total recording time and up to four distinct playback messages, you can create a welcoming atmosphere that stands out.
Inside the home, the ELK-120 can be programmed with custom doorbell sounds that clearly identify the location of the visitor. For example, you can have different tones or messages for front door, back door, or side entrances, ensuring you always know exactly where someone is waiting. This feature is particularly useful in larger homes where multiple entry points are common.
Enhance Safety with Targeted Notifications
Beyond its creative potential, the ELK-120 is a game-changer for safety and security. Custom chime notifications can provide timely alerts for sensitive areas in your home or business, such as:
- Pool or Spa Areas: Warn family members or guests when access to potentially hazardous areas is detected.
- Gun Safes: Add an audible notification for unauthorized access attempts or to alert family members when the safe is opened.
- Wine Cellars and Alcohol Storage: Ensure secure monitoring by triggering a chime or voice alert when doors to these areas are opened.
These targeted alerts are an invaluable addition to any security system, offering peace of mind and helping prevent accidents or unauthorized access.
Easy Integration and Installation
Designed with simplicity in mind, the ELK-120 can function as a stand-alone solution or integrate seamlessly with existing security and automation systems. The module operates on 12 VDC and supports a wide range of triggering options, including door contacts, push buttons, motion sensors, and voltage inputs. This flexibility ensures it’s easy to activate your custom messages from virtually any device.
Additional features include an adjustable volume control, an onboard microphone for direct recording, and a line-level output, which allows integration with whole-house audio systems. Its compact design and straightforward wiring make installation quick and hassle-free, even for complex setups.
