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

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.

Panels work and Im happy. Great deal. I will buy more.

This panel is a great starter panel. Make sure you buy the alpha keypad if you plan on programing it yourself. Do your homework.

Works well. Very difficult to program and seller only was willing to help one time. Follow up call was put on forever hold when they saw caller ID

item as listed, arrived on time

Working fine

This is a great system for the money. There are a few quirks in the programming instructions but I was able to figure things out with YouTube videos. Do your homework before installing and you shouldnt have any problems.

Upgraded a lame Vista 10SE, to add bi-directional communications capacity. Shipped with the latest firmware, and my friend who does alarm installs for a living said that it was identical to the parts on his truck.

This is a great and widely popular panel from Honeywell. I didnt have any issues swapping it out for my old panel, and hooking up my zones and expansion modules was straight-forward. This little panel does everything youd need it to. It does come with the required EOL resistors and zone doubling resistors, as well as the AC transformer. It does NOT come with a battery (which is clearly stated and I didnt mark off for). The one issue I have, and the reason I marked it down one star, is that the communications interface with external communications devices is less than ideal. The panel reports zone faults in real-time, but does not report zones clearing in real-time. This means that if youre using an external communicator, like the Eyez-On Envisalink, youll get notices of faults relatively fast, but it can take up to a minute or two before youll get a notice that everything has cleared up. DSC panels dont have that issue, as they report much more information on their interfaces. It doesnt bother me that much, and its easy enough to work around, but if youre a perfectionist, it might annoy you a bit. If youre using only keypads and professional monitoring, however, youll never notice this slight annoyance at all. The bottom line is this panel was extremely easy to hook up, had no issues with installation or programming, and works perfectly for its intended purpose. I can certainly recommend Honeywell panels to others.

Item was easy to install. But you have to have the correct keypad as others mentioned.
