Honeywell Vista 20P vs Vista 15P

Honeywell’s Vista 20P and Vista 15P are hybrid hardwired control panels and are very similar in functionality.

Both the Honeywell Vista 20P and the Vista 15P are compatible with the same keypads, alarm communicators, the igsmv4g, 7847i, gsmv4g, gsmx4g, expansion boards 4219, 4229 and wireless receivers, 5881ENL, 5881ENM, 5881 ENH and the 5883H.

The Vista 20P and Vista 15P can communicate via land line, cell communicator,internet communicator and dual communication.

Both the Vista 20P and Vista 15P require an alpha keypad for programming.

Both, the Vista 20P and Vista 15P panels are compatible with the Tuxedo Touch Wifi controller and VAM which allows a user to add home automation.

Both are compatible with Total Connect 2.0.

Both the Vista 20P and Vista 15P are compatible with Honeywell IP cameras.

The main difference between the two panels are the amount of zones each can handle. When deciding on what alarm system is best, keep in mind the future, will expansion be necessary?
