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

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.

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

The wholesale cost of the controller and can makes this product a very good choice.

A+

I use this product as a local alarm/self monitored system for my home. The whole thing isnt really meant for those who are not willing to put the time and effort into something like this. While I was upgrading my older system to this, youtube came along and helped me as well. Once you get the wiring done, and you dont understand the programming guide, there are plenty of videos out there on youtube of how to program and understand what it means. Just type in something like Honeywell Vista 20p programming (The vista 15p is the same but with 2 less zones) **I want to give a heads up with programming you MUST have at least an alpha keypad to program. Keypads like the honeywell 6160 will do just fine. This is because the screen can show words and letters so you can understand what your programming. It is harder with the just numeric keypads like the 6150. If you can do all of that, your in luck my friend, youve found yourself a great security system.

If youre planning on a DIY wired (or wireless) alarm system, then this product is impossible to beat, both for function and for price. Plenty of zones, and it will accept multiple types of keypads. The instructions tend to assume that you know how to program one of these things, but there is plenty of information available on the web to help you through it, and once you understand how the programming works, youll see that the instructions are very detailed and complete. One thing this unit doesnt offer is the ability to dial my own cell phone if the alarm goes off. Then again, no other product, at any price, does either. But because this product offers many outputs, I am going to see if I can program a Raspberry Pi to perform that function.

spent 3 weaks trying to program vista20p over 40 man howers an have watched every video and how to do check list. sledge hammer is coming next. burn in hell honeywell

Easy install and user friendly

The metal can is cheap - metal too thin. It deforms and door wont stay closed. Previous purchase from years ago included stronger can

Honeywell alarm panel. Extremely versatile! Can be fitted with 5881enh wireless receiver to make a wireless alarm system as well as wired. Can be used with a variety of control pads. Includes a telephone interface to call for help. 100% professional. Not really intended for a casual do-it-yourselfer. If you understand alarm system technology and can run the wires, or mount the wireless sensors you can use this. With any alarm system youll want to have it monitored. Alarm Relay in El Segundo will monitor the panel and help you program it - but you must know the basics. You will need to have it working before they do the final programming.
