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

Great seller!! and product!!! Thank you

Ordered as replacement for 16 y.o. ADT Safewatch Pro 2000 (rebrand of Ademco Vista 20SE). Straightforward replacement, with existing hardware leads easily matching up to same terminals. Honeywell programming and user interface are something only a mother could love. Given this is 21st century, would be nice if board had USB or wifi interface and programmability via browser, but most of these boards are sold to pros whose main value proposition is tied up in hiding the ball. Hey, Im happy to pay for quality work but original ADT install was slopped together so badly that it led to years of headaches. Enough! I am now definitively cleaning up the mess myself. Thank you Honeywell for giving DIY option so I can avoid pro turn & burn slop-meisters. But I digress. Board is very well supported, which, along with its good price, is its main selling point. As mentioned by others, head to YouTube for excellent tutorials. Looking forward to adding RF keypad and keychain FOB, and 3rd party IP board.

This product has a HUGE learning curve which is probably on purpose. The manual is completely useless. I just Googled for how-to installations and eventually found someone who wrote a guide that made pretty good sense. I used an AD2PI from AlarmDecoder and that seems to work great! Next Ill be installing OpenHAB.

Great product! If purchased from NuWave AV they are version 9.17 which are compatible with the new 62 series keypads. Programmed my system in about 15 minutes. The 6162 keypad box says you can program in 10 minutes, maybe with a little more experience you could. Had bought and returned 2 other 20P panels from another prime seller that were damaged, and version 9.12. When I ordered the third replacement, I chose NuWave AV and I am sure glad I did! Received a perfect panel with the new firmware and programming addendum manual for the new series of keypads. I own 2 other Vista 20P panels at other propertys, and they are excellent, if not the best depending on how you plan/configure your system. MAKE SURE YOU BUY from NuWave AV for version 9.17. As of 12/5/13, they are the only sellers with this new firmware version. So much easier to program/setup if you use one of the new 6162/6162v compared to the 6160/6160v keypads..

no comment all ok

I purchased a house with an old security system (2007 era, big name company, you can probably guess which one) installed. I wanted a self monitoring option, and didnt want to purchase new sensors. With almost no security system experience I was able to use the manual that comes with this to replace the existing control panel. Saved me hundreds in installation costs for a new system and it works perfectly with my existing sensors. I bought the Honeywell 6160 keypad to program it and an Ademco Wave2 siren for noise. Excellent value and user friendly if you have the patience to read the manual carefully.

Excellent product. Easy too install, but hard to program. very recomendable to buy. The sensitive es very well. The case its bigger

Latest model, very good service

I purchased the Vista-20P (and new keypads) as a replacement for my 25+ year old hard wired Vista panel. It took some preparation to map out which wires went to which terminal on the new panel and to familiarize myself with panel programming. But theres great material on the internet including YouTube videos. I then ripped out the old panel, installed and wired up the new one, and completed the basic programming in 4 hours. Worked the first time!

Its a great panel with a lot of potential if youre looking for a great system that can also be tied in to your automation system and is extremely user friendly however you will not get any support directly from honeywell unless you work for a company but there are plenty of companies out there that have very experienced technicians and would be more than willing to help you over all its a great system with a lot of potential would recommend it a thousand times over
