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

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

Works well, easy set up great upgrades for good price !!

I highly recommend against this product. The customer support at honeywell will not help you at all unless you are one of their dealers. They market these as DIY, but if you have technical problems they want you to hire one of their dealers to troubleshoot the issue. They will not give you any technical information over the phone, even if you can prove that the system is yours.

Good price, works well, reasonably straight forward install (see YouTube videos)

Awesome! It was totally compatible with my wired Vista 10-SE sensors! You will need the compatible keypad(s), wired or wireless, to go with this! The programming side might be a little challenging for the non-technical (I am a professional engineer). The user manual could do with a little more explanation, but Ill let that go! Great quality and value package at a very reasonable price! Recommend the EVL 4 to get the system online and talking to your smartphone! I am a big advocate of self monitoring, been doing it for nearly 20 years now! This package was just perfect for my requirements!

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

will buy again

Excellent product

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.

I installed this system after researching and finding out my old ADT panel locked was a rebranded version of the vista 20p. I just labels my old wires then disconnected and reconnected everything back up and followed the programming instructions. I added more wireless sensors along with the 6150rf keypad to secure all my windows and doors!
