Forgive my ignorance, but when you say "doubled up" are you saying using 22-4 wire and then when using a window/door sensor, such as the 944T, that you would hook TWO of the wires up to one terminal of the 944T and the other TWO wires up to the other terminal of the 944T and then of course...

No single door/window sensor is over a few hundred feet. I just figured I would buy a 500 foot box or maybe even 1,000 foot. For whatever reason in my notes I wrote down that door/window sensors needed 18/2. If it can be totally good with 22/2 (or 22/4) then that would be great. I agree...

Any suggestions for 18/2 cable for wired door sensors for 500 feet? I went to purchase Genesis WG-11185501 18/2 from AlarmGrid and they said it is out of stock and for whatever reason ADI isn't showing it on their website but they do show Genesis WG-21145501 18/2 but AlarmGrid said that they...

If the cabinet (let's just say the Vista cabinet) has a large hole in the drywall then shouldn't the cabinet have a large hole in it? This I would have to manually create, which isn't a big deal, but certainly don't want to do something that is way out of the ordinary. I figured I would get a...

Since the 20P is wall mounted what is the best method of getting the wires into the cabinet? I see the punch out holes in the top which I can come through but then you'll see wires exposed above the panel. Is id anyway adviseable to have a normal 1 gang outlet type box to run all of the cables...

@Heavyopp - I acquired a PFA 122 mount and a T54IR turret. You are absolutely right, the PFA 122 is the same as the PFA 121 with just a hole pattern difference so you can swap the cover to fit a bullet if desired in the future. Excellent! The PFB203 wall mount bracket unfortunately doesn't...

I'm not sure I follow what you mean that "I'd hate to think of trying to do it without". Do you mean you would hate to think about mounting an external camera without a junction box? @Heavyopp - How do I know what bullet (for pfa121) and turrent (for pfa122) is compatible? Are any of the...

Interesting, so it sounds like if the identify feet ~20' is accomplished via bullet or turrent then it is simply a personal preference but definitely don't use DOMES outside. For the PFB203W wall mount which looks to be the common wall mount for many Dahua turrent's, do I mount that after the...

That is what sparked this thread! The bullet in OP is huge! Certainly noticeable on a house (which is good but also bad). If going turret, do I need to install the wall mount before or after stucco installation? For a bullet I was going to install PFA121 on the plywood before stucco...

What’s the difference between TURRET and DOME?

For a single family residence I have read that you almost always want to go with a bullet design. However, whether right or wrong, it seems in my local area all residential exterior cameras are dome or turret. I only see bullets on commercial buildings in my area. I’m looking to cover a front...

@smiticans - Amazing! thank you for your help, that worked perfectly. The installation instructions that came within the WAVE2 was tiny with very little information. When you say "See page 2-4 in the installation manual" what manual are you referring to? With the Visa 20P it came with a...

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...

@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...
