A:We recommend all DRAM units be used to connect to a central station. DRAM units allow you to configure longer pre- and post-alarm video clips. You must use either the OzLine-4CS or the OzLine-12CS to connect to a central station.

 A:There are a number of possibilities. The main thing to look for is to verify that the contact is a dry momentary contact. If the contact is latching from the installation side, the central station will continually receive a runaway signal.
