Been busy with other project and alarm system went on the back-burner. I have a vista 20p panel, envisalink4, and a Honeywell 6162rf keypad sitting in boxes. I will order Honeywell Genesis 11041101 22/4 Stranded Unshielded Cable, White 1000' for the KEYPAD and SENSORS. I'll put in a 2 wire...

Does it make a difference if it is solid/stranded COPPER vs CCA Copper Clad Aluminum wire? I figured if I have to run wire, I might as well have a the heavy gauge wire. I read 22 gauge can get too thin and fragile. I guess I'll order some 20gauge as a happy medium to satisfy minimum...

Is this wire good t wire everything with or do you know of a better source? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Security-Cable-Burglar-Alarm-18-2-500FT-Stranded-White-Speaker-Wire-/300909048113

I don't plan on using more than 2 zone expanders. (Honeywell 4219) I'll grab a 6162RF Keypad (about $100) off ebay (might eventually get a second keypad later on.) I don't like wireless because of batteries, cost, and RF JAMMING. Is using a Keyfob and 6162RF keypad putting the system at risk...

I plan to self-monitor with Envisalink 4. I think I can get away with running wires for the sensors (but it's good to know I can add wireless in the future if it comes down to it.) I don't think I would benefit much from a more expensive "Tuxedo" keypad because I don't plan on using any z-wave...

First and foremost, I have about the same question as the OP so I just wanted to learn more about what was suggested for him without HJ his thread. Specifically, this would be used to protect a house and garages. All doors would be protected with some sort of wired sensor. With 3 sliding...

Is the Foscam working now or still trying to send alerts?

Happy birthday

Aren't there different firmware versions (9.18 vs 10.23) of the Vista 20p that make a difference? What about the Vista 21ip? or the Vista 128btp? Is the older Vista 20p better than the newer versions for doing free self monitor with the option to add paid cellular monitoring service when...

One in the corner should be good enough, what size is the room?
