Honeywell L7000: A Quick & Dirty Introduction to the Unreleased Panel

Now, moving over to the L7000, clearly the biggest difference is this great, beautiful 7-inch touch screen. They're trying to mirror the screen of the Tuxedo Touch in the size, so you get the nice clean screen that you can manipulate. You can see very similar. You have the two icons and two the buttons. They've simplified things down to security and automation, the same way that the L5200 did. This panel will do up to 80 programmable zones with one hardwired zone. So again, they've jumped up the amount of zones you can use. If you've got a bigger house, and you thought you had too many zones to be able to do it all on one wireless system, now you have a nice option. It can do 24 key 5s zones, so even more key 5s. It can do 48 user codes, so more user codes. So a nice upgrade even compared to the 5200.

It also can do 4 garage doors, so you get an extra garage door. And while the L5200 does one AlarmNet camera, the L7000 will do up to four AlarmNet cameras on the screen. You can view one camera at a time, or you can do a split screen where you'd have all four cameras. So again, only with the AlarmNet cameras that work with Total Connect, not only can you view them from the computer, now you can view them from the screen, so another key upgrade. In terms of automation, they've added some, some upgrades there. Instead of three thermostats, now you can do four and instead of three locks, now you can do six, so that's another good upgrade.
