Honeywell Ademco V20P60PK Vista-20P Intrusion Kit

This is a top of the line product. The siren that comes with the kit is blaring and it hurts to stand next to it. That siren is rated at something like 106db's I am adding a bull horn siren also for the outside at 127db's. This makes the little table top cone shape alarms look like toys. These are more involved to install but there is plenty of videos online to get you through it. I am wishing now I would have purchased the RF model which is not that much more money. This would have given me access to all of the wireless products. My place is so small I did not think I would need it.

When you open the box you will find: Vista 20P panel, lock and key, battery, transformer/power supply, motion detector, siren, RJ-31X jack and cable, keypad with alpha-numeric display (needed for system programming), and the manuals.What else you will need for your system: device wiring cable, door/window contacts, other sensors (motions, smoke detectors, etc.) that you want, and any modules that you want to add functionality to your system.This is a nice kit, from Honeywell (an industry leader, not some Chinese company you never heard of), and appears to be competitively priced.

While the system is the best and most complex there is out there for home security, it is incomplete.My card carrying certified installer told me that in order to trigger the delay for normal entry, you need to have a door entry sensor which this kit does not. The motion sensors are not delay sensors, but trigger the alarm immediately.Also, the keypad was a bit limited in configuring the system. There are a number of options for configuration and I now have to add wireless door sensors.

Great price and easy to grogram

A bit hard to program. 1 & 3 need to be pressed at the same time to get the keypad changed from 31 to 16 before the keypad is recognized. Maybe it’s in the manual but I didn’t see it. Thank you YouTube.Picture in ad is deceiving. The Vista20P is what is described in the description, and the 60PK at the end doesn’t include anything more of the 8 or so additional items in the photo.When testing, I suggest you don’t let the siren go off without warning your wife. Sounds like our 18 year old daughter fell into the Indiana Jones snake car.

**WARNING**This is a total ripoff. You don't even get what's shown in the picture. You would save more money buying the system and add on parts separately.

Good hardware. The Owners manual is hard to understand however once you get into their Engineers head it then makes since. Not for the everyday non-tech type person. Sort of old school interface technology.

Good stuff thanks
