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

Panel is many years old and not current firmware.

Install in all rentals as feature for tenants. The one piece of advice I’d give is to test it ASAP because I did have one board that had a bad sensor port. I had empty ports so it wasn’t a big deal, so I didn’t bother to exchange. There are great videos on line that show how to program. Setup isn’t as easy as ring or simpli but the end product is much much better and at a much lower cost.

Broken seal, missing parts, box looked used, finger prints on cover and missing transformer.

Exactly what I expected.

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.

I had no idea this panel would bring me here. By here I mean due to my OCD the level of expansion it offers all for 70 bucks. In just over a year Ive nearly maxed it out. All 48 rf zones utilized, 7 hardwired and 10 button remote zones used. With a 20p & a 6160rf you can easily best any ADT or similar system out there. Add a Tuxedo touch and you can get Total Connect 2.0 with Zwave automated thermostats as I do up to 3 along with dimmers and outlets. With a 4204 relay module and some wiring you can open/close your garage doors. Or you could just get the panel, a 6160rf and an 5802wxt panic pendant and keep an aging parent safe with basic phone line monitoring all for less than 250$ I have opted for full Total Connect premium service for 44$ a month that includes texting of sensor events, video events & alarms. It can set my thermostats back, turn all my lights off and lock my door when I press the arm away button on my key fob saving on heating costs. Granted I spent the additional $ for the Zwave enabled devices but still, it is truly awesome what you can do with this 70$ panel. I could go on and on but simply put. This thing is the cats ass

The product is used by most pros. Installing it myslef was fun. Make sure you add a battery and, I suggest, add also EYEZ-ON EVL-3 which give capability to send you alerts (email and sms). Also suggest that you combine it with 6160 alpha keypad because you will need it to do all the needed programming.

I bought this to replace a VISTA-15P that was locked to a security monitor service provider. This VISTA-20P is 100% compatible and the switch over went without a hitch. Now I switch service providers any time.

This was easy to install. I have my system up and running 100% now. This system replaced my broken Namco system.
