Can this sytem be used for self-monitoring like Lowe's IRIS?

I'll tell you my experience. I should have asked this question prior to purchasing the 2gig. If you want to buy a cell radio module, add the 2gig IMEI to your cell phone plan and monitor it, you can't. Bottom line is you have to have Alarm.com monitoring. To be fair IRIS isn't totally free in that regard either. However, there are some lesser known, and very budget friendly monitoring services that won't cost you 60 bucks a month. For instance Suretycam (suretydiy.com) will give you ZWave control, 2 way voice and basic alarm features for 19 bucks a month and you can control everything through your smart phone. If you want central station monitoring it's a little more. The other thing you should realize here is that the 2Gig GoControl is a Zwave hub and if you try to add it to an existing Zwave system as a secondary controller (say Veralite for instance) it just won't work very well. That being said, I love the 2Gig. It runs everything I need....lights, door locks, garage door, alarm sensors, electrical outlets, you name it, and I can control it all through alarm.com with a very easy to use and feature rich app for my phone. The only other thing I would say is if you go this route make sure you buy a cell radio that is not registered to another Alarm.com provider....Vivint especially. Some will not release their IMEI and you'll be out 80 bucks. You can check the IMEI here: http://suretycam.com/cellular-module-check

Not very well. You'd be better off with one of the 1-3$ iOS apps for sleep/activity monitoring as they give more detailed and useful information. As noted the sensor cable is short and the widget ends up under your elbow and the sensor creases are scratchy.

I would not recommend it for that. There is more specialized equipment for that. This is primarily for the detection of luminaires. I use it in construction because when doing night work you have to meet a certain criteria.

I have tried to pair this glass break detector (as well as non-Iris motion detectors) with Iris and was not successful. I'm not aware of a solution, but am interested in a glass break detector for Iris as well.

havent tried that. don't see why it wouldn't as long as youfollow there directions.. remember you need to follow the ratio of reflector to dead time. y

YES! Exactly what I do. I also connect to a system running Blue Iris so I can view all through the BI interface OR just http to each individual camera

Yes it has manual iris and focus and it does display time and date down to seconds in certain modes.

Yes. Using it with ipcamviewer and tinycam monitor. But to view motion events you have to use hikvisions android app which works surprisingly well.

Yes Works flawlesslyI use this with iris. Also if you go into MAGIC set up you will see the icon for the kwikset locks allowing proper configuration.

Not unless you're adept at writing some software to do so. This device is used mainly for infrared remote control devices.

I have not tried. I think you would need to try it and see if it would work for what you want to do. This is a great meter for our application - we measure foot-candles of light in workplace areas.

Yes! I have mine set up at an entry door to my house. I get an alert within seconds of motion. Then I can use the app to view the video. At any time you can use the app and see what the camera sees. It's a great investment for peace of mind.

I am not sure that would work. I think this device uses temperature changes to detect movement. For example, I have this right next to my front door. If I open the door (and it opens into the sensor) nothing happens, as soon as my body is clear from the door then the device detects something. Perhaps something using the contact closure module will be more effective.

It should, you can set the sensitivity level and the length of time the light stays on.

Not directly, this is an Insteon sensor (no logic or processor), so you would need at least an Insteon setup and something that could be programmed to response (in your case send an email) to the events this sensor would send. I run an application called Indigo on a Mac, which is configured to respond to events mostly logging them, and depending on time and where an event happens turn lights on and after a period of inactivity turn them off.

Yes, to monitor and record unattended you need blue iris. If you only need to record when you are viewing the camera IPcam viewer for IOS can record clips.

I hope so, my doctor's office uses them. One of the reasons I bought this for home use. It gives consistent readings. It also gives accurate readings (sigh).
