Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Best Wired LCD Keypad?
If you are looking for the best wired LCD keypad, then you should look no further than the Honeywell Tuxedo Touch WIFI. The Tuxedo can control your security system, and supports Z-Wave device control. All of these features are available in an exciting, user-friendly color touchscreen.
Is the Alarm.com ADC-V720 Camera POE?
The Alarm.com ADC-V720 Camera offers support for power over ethernet (POE). The outdoor camera can be powered directly from a POE network switch. Another option is to use a POE injector in conjunction with a non-POE network switch. The ADC-V720 is the only Alarm.com camera to support POE technology.
Are Old Honeywell Hardwired Contacts Compatible w/ Modern Systems?
It is possible to use old Honeywell hardwired contacts with a newer security panel, such as a LYNX Touch or a Lyric Controller. This can be done with a wireless converter, such as the Honeywell 5800C2W. The security devices will connect to the 5800C2W, which will use a wireless zone with the system.
Honeywell 5828V vs 5828
The only difference between the Honeywell 5828V Keypad and the Honeywell 5828 Keypad is that the 5828V Keypad has a voice feature. This means it will read out the zone descriptors whenever a zone is faulted. The 5828V can also be used to record an audible voice message that can be played back later.
What is the Best Long-Range, Wireless Indoor Motion Sensor?
For long-range motion detection, the best wireless indoor sensor is arguably the Honeywell 5800PIR-COM. By using its included long-range curtain lens, the device offers an impressive range of 100 by 20 feet. This makes it a great motion sensor for long, narrow areas that require complete protection.
Can I Get Notified by My VISTA When an Alarm is Set Off?
A user can choose to receive text and email alerts from Total Connect that will notify them whenever an alarm event occurs on their VISTA system. To do this, the VISTA system must first be set up with the Total Connect platform. An internet or cellular connection is needed to connect to the service.
Should I Change My Installer Code?
Most users find that there is no need for them to change the Installer Code on their security panel. This is because leaving their Installer Code at the default does not present any sort of security risk. Also, changing the Installer Code can lead to confusion and extra hassle for the user later on.
Where is the Power Button on an a LYNX Touch Security System?
The only true way to power down a LYNX Touch security system is to remove the AC power supply and the backup battery for the panel. This will cause the panel to shut down and remain off. It is also possible to perform a soft reset of the panel to have it power back on immediately after shutting off.
Does the Skybell Work with the L5210 or L7000?
A Skybell Camera does not connect with a one's security panel. Rather, it is integrated into a user's security setup through Total Connect or Alarm.com. The user must have the Skybell feature enabled on their TC or ADC account. The camera can then be linked with the account using the respective app.
What Is the Best Door Sensor for the Honeywell L7000?
There are many great door sensors that work well with the Honeywell L7000. For this type of security system, we usually recommend using wireless sensors since they are easy for end users to program. Both wireless surface-mount and recessed door sensors are available for use with the Honeywell L7000.
