> 3 dayUpgraded 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.

> 3 dayGood alarm for the money easy to wire easy to install and you can ad just about any think to it. The first one I got it was hard to program but keep with it and now its a snap. For 47.00 how can you go wrong.

> 3 dayThis product was a nightmare to program I had nightmares at night of the keypad eating my hand in my dreams but as you read the installation guide and watch YouTube videos it’s a breeze to program. In the end this is a great product with many programming flexablities and its great lines of 5800 wireless sensors. I have mine hooked up to a ip auto dailer so I don’t need to pay month fees.

Greater than one weekI 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!

> 3 dayIve installed hundreds of these panels and they arent bad but it just seems very outdated for an alarm system that hasnt seen many upgrades in decades. The Amazon listing says first posted on Amazon in 2001. Not a whole lot has changed since then except the firmware/revision version and little features. While other manufacturers were making their most basic systems smarter with built in wireless receivers, compartments to easily attach a cell unit, Zwave, etc... The Vista panels offer none of that straight out of the box. This panel you see in the picture will need a wireless receiver or an RF keypad and all kinds of add-ons to be able to do what other panels can do straight of the box. Its a good replacement panel if you had an older Vista , DSC, FBI, concord etc with hardwired zones but even the all-in-one panels can easily take over the hardwired zones now (except hardwired smoke detectors). When I install a new touchscreen panel in a home, the customer is usually happy and feels like they are getting a real upgrade. When I install a new Vista panel in a home, the customer feels like theyre getting the exact same system that has installed 20+ years ago because they basically are. As an installer, I would never use this system in a home or business unless I have a bunch of hardwired smoke detectors or if I need more than one partition. If you arent a technician, programming can be a nightmare, especially if you only have a 6150 keypad. Definitely do NOT buy a 6150 keypad. Buy a 6160, 6160RF or one of the nicer keypads by Honeywell (touchscreen or tuxedo)

> 3 dayno info on the ad as to what motion sensors will work with this CPU. I had to open the box, and panel to check for compatibility. My mistake to buy this. I will eat the cost, but I will not recommend this to anyone who asks about my home security. Out $80 bucks but its my fault. Honeywell has been a trusted name for me, not any more...is there a less then 1 star rating?
