    Our Brinks system from 1998 lost 10-12 zones over the past 8 years. When we were down to the smoke detectors and just the front door I knew it was time to invest in a new system. At least we could update to 2022-wifi-phone-alert-app-ready-newness. But what do I do with the 142 hardwired sensors ran throughout my house that still work perfectly? And a wife and kids that are used to the 4 keypad panels we have at multiple entrance/exits? Enter the Vista 20P. Everything that I need from 1980 but just slightly newer. Even programming the sensors was something straight out of 1980. But it works. And every sensor works. And every zone works. No lost wifi signals... No dead batteries in sensors... Not a single problem (there was one). I had to add more boards to cover all of our zones wired in parallel and series. There is not enough room in the alarm panel for the extra boards? Weird. There is so much empty space under the main board. Adding extra boards is a complete afterthought and many people wire them outside of the locked alarm box and run wires in...that seems counterproductive to a security system...I removed the extra boards from the plastic cases they came in and CNCd some mounts for inside the box. Also got a DIN-rail and some Wagos. I can also add another board for wifi-internet-app access later but it will have to be mounted on the back of the door. The only thing that did not work, was a LiPo battery to use as a backup. I figured I updated the panel and rewired everything, I may as well add a fancy battery. As soon as I did that, the heatsink on the mainboard got uncomforatbly hot. 142 hardwired sensors, 4 smoke detectors, and 4 keypad panels and that thing was barely warm. Added a LiPo backup battery and that did it. Went back to the old one that I had for now. Panel comes with a new power supply and is straightforward to hookup and program. The average DIY person can tackle this. Do not be afraid.

    In todays world of Alarms its kinda old school but it does exactly what it was intended to do. Not to mention low price and programmable with the 6160 keypad.

    If you are going to do a hardwire alarm set-up this is a good place to start. Mine works well and has no issues.

    If youre installing alarm systems, you already know what this is and dont need a review. If you dont, this package is the controller with locking metal box, lock, programming manuals (essential!) and power supply. It does not come with a backup battery. I like the vista 20. Its a bit clumsy to program at first, but it works nicely and is compatible with lots of fun honeywell accessories. The only real negative is that it doesnt have all the internet and video goodies of the newer systems, but on the other hand, its a high quality, reliable Honeywell product that generally wont leave you screaming mad.

The high capacity, feature-rich VISTA-20P lets you deliver more value to your customers on each and every sale with up to 48 zones of protection, Internet uploading/downloading, graphic keypad support and dual partitions. VISTA-20P gives you the ability to send alarm signals and upload/download via an Internet protocol (IP), improving the speed at which information can be delivered to and from the control panel. In addition, the VISTA-20P, used with an alarm net Internet or digital communicator can be installed in Premises without telco lines with no sacrifice in functionality. The panel"s installation advantages, innovative end-user benefits and robust system capacity make the value-priced VISTA-20P an ideal choice for higher end installations. Chip version is 10.24 (Latest update 3/8/2023)
