Honeywell Vista 20P and 6160RF Keypad Kit Package

Works just as expected.

My old Brinks alarm gave out during the last power outage from storm. It was not being monitored so although it would work to alert it was also annoying as every few days it would give audible alarms due to not being monitored. I read up and found this Honeywell Vista 20P would run fine without paying to be monitored. So I pulled out the Brinks system but reused sensors (wall, door and motion). The 20P worked perfectly. The only sensor I swapped was the smoke sensor as the old one did not work with this model. Now we don't get the annoying alert every few days of system not monitored, especially early am as it would tend to happen when we were all asleep. This system has already paid for itself since i did not have to pay for installation or monitoring charges.

I recently helped a family member replace a 17 year old Vista 20se alarm panel and keypads with this Vista 20p as its core. Everything was new and well packaged with a box within a larger padded box. The only issue I had was that I was told by the seller that the panel would be a version 10.26 but received a 10.25 version instead.Honeywell/Resideo doesn't publish release notes to determine the differences between versions, but I was hoping to get the latest and greatest to avoid any future issues.In any case, everything worked out fine and I was able to add a second 6160 keypad, a number of wired and wireless sensors and an ADC SEM.

I have used a Vista 20p for many years and am very familiar with it's capabilities and programming, so this does exactly what I want and expect; however, I did have an issue with the 6160RF keypad. It worked correctly since installation 5 months ago, but stopped making any sound whatsoever. Seller Fire and Safety Plus replaced it quickly under warranty and all is well again. Very pleased with this seller.

Sir:- This item is just what I want. I am a freelance tech for USPY CANADA LTD. and I purchased a unit to trouble shoot security systems. I put trackers on cheating husbands or wives cars then we give the access codes to the husband or the wife that hires us. We also do house sweeps looking for hidden microphones and hidden cameras that are placed in the Plantiffs home so the EX is able to watched her and be able to stock her. We are now going to service Home Security Systems and troubleshoot them while at the same time we sweep the plaintiffs home for cameras and listening devices. This alarm system will give me an Idea how the alarm can be troubleshooted and be able to fix any problems the alarm system has or was tampered with by the plantiffs EX.

The system arrived on time, well packaged and worked right out of the box. Very impressed with the functionality and build quality of the Honeywell Vista 20P Alarm system, and the price was just right. This unit has some unique features that I did not know about before I purchased it : zone configuration, partitions, event logging, and zone doubling. I will be using all of these in my home application and there are lots of youtube videos to help guide me along.I opted for the 6160RF keypad because I wanted to add a few wireless sensors later on in areas where running wires may not be the best option. Plus, I like the idea of using the wireless keyfob for arming and disarming, instead of time delay entry/exit. Very nice, large, backlit, easy to read, two line LCD display and keypad feels good to the touch.I am very happy with my purchase and will be acquiring various Honeywell sensors and accessories as the need arises.

I replaced a 6150 rf and a vista 15 panel with these to get more zones. They are mounted in the identical spots as the ones removed, but now, the panel cannot detect the contacts 10 to 15 ft away. I have to remove it from the window and place it closer to the panel and it detects it. Try as i might the panel would not dial out. The feature worked flawlessly on the 15p. I. Grossly dissatisfied. I feel like I have been robbed. I am in no better position with this dead product.

I occasionally buy alarm parts online due to good pricing rather than from my local suppliers and have ended up with used parts that have to be defaulted or returned. If you're not an experienced installer who is going to use them immediately beware buying from an unauthorized dealer
