    Honeywell Vista 20P Shopping List

    I purchased a Vista 20p along with a few wireless contacts, 6160rf, wired contacts and a WAVE2. I hooked the black cable into #4 in Vista20p and into the WAVE2 ground. I hooked the red cable up into #3 in Vista20p and the #2 on the WAVE2. Plugged the power back in and the WAVE2 has a small...

    Honeywell Vista 20P Shopping List

    @smiticans thank you for the continued help about the SMP3, 1361-GT transformer and WBOX 0E-SR100S - B connectors. I'll have to look into these further on where I would use them. To be totally clear about the keypads themselves: Each keypad is a home-run to the panel? Or do I just have one...

    Good catch... my spreadsheet even has wired listed on it. doh! Do you have a suggestion for a wireless small window sensor? 5800MINI? Also instead of 943WG would a 951WG be more current? I keep finding product list guides from Honeywell/Resideo and it seems like even though they talk about...

    Honeywell Vista 20P Shopping List

    Honeywell Vista 20P Shopping List

    Can I have BOTH the Alarm.com ADC-SEM300-VT-VZ-M as well as the EyezOn EVL-4CG? I really want the EVL-4CG for Home Assistant integration and potential future self-monitoring. I would love to have LTE for alarm.com so that I have more choices for central monitoring. Ideal world is that I can...

    Honeywell Vista 20P Shopping List

    I believe alarm dot com isn't an option for the 20P; what company do you recommend for central monitoring? I'm planning on getting the EyezOn EVL-4CG for IP but would also like LTE capability (I see EyezOn has an IP/LTE combo product but I don't see people talking about it. For pre-wire...

    Low Voltage pre-wire tips and secrets help! 1. Keypads - Homerun to the 20P Panel using 22 gauge 4 conductor wire. Do I use a junction box at the keypad location sites or do I just leave the cable dangling? I've also thought maybe block that area and then drill a small hole in the block where...

    Honeywell Vista 20P Shopping List

    @smiticans and @tangent thank you for taking the time to reply. Regarding Qolsys IQ Pro versus Honeywell: What makes me nervous is the "newness" of Qolsys. It seems like a brand new company with a brand new company which has ended very badly many times in the past. Honeywell product is...

    Home Security Systems

    Hybrid of wireless and wired. House is framed but not drywalled yet. Windows are installed. I would prefer not to drill near a window or into a window frame so I believe wireless may be a better option. Presence/motion and glass break alarms I imagine can be either wire or wireless. Two...

    Rough In brackets or wall plate for Dahua or maybe universal

    @TonyR - I am planning on using Dahua bullet cameras that are mounted to a stucco exterior side wall. Does that change your recommendation? I see from the specs and review that the PFA200G is not water proof and also from the specs it looks like it only supports Dome and Eyeball cameras and...

    Rough In brackets or wall plate for Dahua or maybe universal

    Much appreciated for the help and response. I totally didn't look at that image close enough but indeed you can see that the bracket is screwed into the junction box screw holes! Brilliant!

    Rough In brackets or wall plate for Dahua or maybe universal

    So are you saying to install one of these plastic or metal 2x3 junction box at the location where the ethernet cable is hanging out of the exterior side wall as well as the gangbox adapter? Sorry for my ignorance.

    Rough In brackets or wall plate for Dahua or maybe universal

    Does the linked PFA200G gang box adapter get installed outside of the house on the plywood or inside of the house inbetween studs? Right now the house is plywood exterior but will be getting stucco (foam, mesh and then stucco) on top so at what point do I install the PFA200G gang box adapter...

    Rough In brackets or wall plate for Dahua or maybe universal

    Does any Dahua (or even maybe other brands) mount to this gangbox adapter? Maybe the first step would be figuring out which Dahua cameras to use for the exterior. I need Identify atleast 25 feet. This is for a single family residence and will be side wall mounted so I suspect a bullet is...

    Rough In brackets or wall plate for Dahua or maybe universal

    I'm in the middle of construction of a single family residence. There are a handful of exterior and interior cameras that will likely be Dahua that will be a combination of bullet and dome. I see that Dahua has some ceiling and pole mounting brackets but I'm wondering what the solution is for...

    NVR (POE Dahua Cameras) vs Blue Iris use case

    Friends, I have 22 Dahua POE Camera setup that I am planning on installing in a business environment. The business employees are not computer savvy so I would prefer to have equipment that "just works" and doesn't require on premise work to fix. I'm very comfortable with Windows and setting...

    Cat5e or Cat6 for IP Cameras at long distances?

    What is "back side double slashed"? Everything else that you wrote I understand and what a wonderful list! It is easy to think these things out but is best to put pen to paper and be specific so that when the work comes you just follow the plan. There is going to be a run about 100 to 150 ft...

    Cat5e or Cat6 for IP Cameras at long distances?

    What exactly do you mean by dedicated run? After reading through this thread the way I was planning on running this is a SINGLE cat6 cable from the network room firewall to the center of the building where a POE+ switch will be hanging out. From the POE+ switch (lets just say 12 port switch)...

    Cat5e or Cat6 for IP Cameras at long distances?

    I'm looking for some advice about pro's/con's of cat5e versus cat6 for long distance runs to IP cameras. The distance from the network room to the furthest camera is approximately 450 feet (137 meters). There are several IP cameras at this distance. We are organizing to use Dahua 4MP cameras...
