Review on 📦 Honeywell VISTA 20P Aluminum Enclosure for Control Panel by Rick Ross

After my second home was broken into and the front door was left open for who knows how long, I decided I needed an alarm. After a lot of research and without wanting to mess with contracts, providers and high monthly fees, I decided on this panel and a fully expandable professional system that sends me text messages when the alarm is disarmed, armed, fire, accident, flood and, of course, if there is a burglary. The basis of the system is a 20P panel, 15P fits best if you have no more than six wired zones, the EVL-4 Eyezon IP Communicator which requires a wired connection to a router. , and is cabinet mounted, a 12V backup battery is required as it powers the siren plus a backup siren if the power fails and looks no less than the 6160RF keypad. RF means the keyboard can receive and send data to wireless devices. Even if you think you don't need wireless, once you've read and seen all the endless possibilities of wireless devices and sensors, you'll be glad you spent a little more to go RF. If you don't have a drill, wire strippers, or maybe even a soldering iron and you're willing to roll up your sleeves and learn a little about all the thoughtful and time-honored nuances and actually read the manual, then this probably isn't the system for you. . It's a little overwhelming just looking at the manual and all the options, but once you get the hang of it, there are only a few real program prompts that you need to change. Each zone needs to be told how to respond to the sensor, but just read and watch some YouTube videos. You don't have to be a programmer or rocket expert - just be willing to put in some time and energy during installation and you won't have to touch it again unless you want to make some upgrades and improvements, which I'm sure will Most techies will be fascinated by the possibilities. I'm working on installing an electric water valve on the main line so the water shuts off when the guard is in away mode - no worries about flooding!
