Honeywell VISTA-20P Ademco Control Panel, PCB in Aluminum Enclosure

As a retired professional alarm installer you get what you need at ,great price

Replaced my old panel myself. Works perfectly.

Love it

The product was damaged before being packaged. Who ever packaged the product had to of seen the damage. The door frame was noticeably damaged. Do better with quality control. Still a good product.

I replaced my Vista10Se that was doing weird things. This model is very close in layout but the wiring was slightly different. If you are switching from a different model the resisters they ship with the panel are likely different from your old one and you will need to swap all of those out. What you could put on each port was more flexible than my 10SE, but there was a restriction on what you could put on one of the ports on the 20SE. I switched to two 6160 key pads with my upgrade so I have full text on both keypads. One of those keypads is a 6160RF so I can use things like key fobs. Make sure you copy all of the setting out of your old panel if you have access to the programming... otherwise just fill out options sheet as to what you may want to change from the default. You can likely just call your security company to get setting like the dial in number and responses if you need. Each company will vary. All of my wiring went back in without a problem. I like that I can put real words on my zones now so you dont need a chart to see what is open. The relays are a little louder. I can hear them clicking as I lock and unlock the system. The messaging off this unit is much better than my old one. I also saw some after market devices to have the messaging go direct a phone w/o the need of the monitoring company to forward it. Those devices and the app can let you remotely arm and disarm as well. Keep in mind that some monitoring companies just bundle all that in to their offering now so you may be able to get it that way. I was able to keep my old cellular backup and the IP adapter that allows my monitoring to work over the internet as well. If you have not programmed these before they can be a little frustrating... and understanding resistive loops might have you scratching your head. There are a lot of online videos for these panels. I have to say the programming my first RF device was a task even with the videos... I probably should not have started with trying to customize it to my desires and gone with the defaults as a starting point for the RF (as that would have worked). In the end all is good and as I want it.

Returned it would not program. Went through tech support at Honeywell but could not get my Ademco Honeywell 6160 or 6160RF keypad to be recognized on the panel, bad unit.

Used this for setting up my home alarm system with Honeywell and it has worked without any issues now for over a year

I had an old FBII XL31 system, it was installed when the house was built. I was no longer able to upgrade or have the FBII system monitored. I looked at many options, including Ring and Konnected. Ring was an appealing way to convert the system and use the existing hardwired sensors, but to me it seemed a bit complex and would be more than 2x the cost of this. Konnected was interesting for the online monitoring aspect, but I wanted traditional keypads. I went with the Vista 20p because of how reliable it has been, cost, available accessories, and the amount of help and support for it online. The Honeywell Vista 20p is geared for alarm professionals, but install isnt terrible to install if you have basic electronics experience. There are many tutorials on youtube, which are very helpful, especially for programming. One thing to watch though, is the End Of Line Resistors. If your system has them at the end of the line (where they are supposed to be), it may be a pain to upgrade them. I had to switch mine out to 2K resistors, as FBII used 2.2K. I also added the Envisalink 4 to communicate via IP, which is very useful for both self monitoring and central station monitoring. I highly recommend that module, and it was a big reason I went with the Vista 20p.

Brand new panel with latest firmware.

Works great! A bit of a learning curve if youve never installed an alarm before, but wasnt too difficult using youtube videos along with the instructions that came with it. This kit includes the board, the metal enclosure, lock/key and set of resistors. Mine came with firmware 10.23 installed.
