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...

Below is my shopping list. If there is anything missing or if you believe there is a smaller or better option please let me know. Thank you so much! Panel: Vista 20P Panel Zone Extender: 4219 SEM1: ADC-SEM300-VT-VZ-M for alarm.com Verizon LTE SEM2: EyezOn EVL4 Keypads: 6160RF for wireless...

We do have a dog although I imagine being on "stay" the motion detectors won't do anything so I'll seriously consider the Bosch motion detectors otherwise the DT-8035V seems great. Any particular Bosch motion detectors to recommend? @smiticans what wired smoke detector would you recommend...

Can I have BOTH the Alarm.com ADC-SEM300-VT-VZ-M as well as the EyezOn EVL-4CG? I really want the EVL-4CG for Home Assistant integration and potential future self-monitoring. I would love to have LTE for alarm.com so that I have more choices for central monitoring. Ideal world is that I can...
