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

no comment all ok

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.

Needed to replace defective panel

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!

This is a great security panel I got it a couple months ago and it was easy to install and program if you understand how it works I was able to install it in a day and its easy to wire up and add new devices.

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.

Good 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.

Just received this panel today (4/15/2014), and ordered from NuWave AV based off of one of the reviews below. I needed Revision 9.16 or higher to work with the keypad that I ordered. I received Revision 9.12 from them. I will be returning this immediately as it does not work with the keypad that I ordered. On top of that, the battery was shipped with it inside the panel box, and was loose during shipping. It moved around inside the box and shockingly didnt bust, but who knows how much damage it did to the panel itself. BEWARE OF ORDERING FROM NuWave AV. I will not order from them again!!!

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.

The product was damaged before being packaged. Who ever packaged the product had to of seen the damage. The door frame was noticeably damaged. Do better with quality control. Still a good product.
