JohnRRogers Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 I’m having an alarm system installed in our new prewired home. Of course I’d like to have it interfaced to our Control4 system. It’s a small home, 4 door switches, a few motion detectors and a couple of keypads. I’m looking at Honeywell Vista 20 or Interlogix NX-8 Alarm systems The price is basically the same for either system. Any suggestions?

Cole Rogers Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 I have the ge nx8-e and it works good but also have integrated the vista 20..I believe both will require a external module to integrate like the 4232 cbm module for the vista and virtual keypad module for the ge...

Bullseye Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 I use a vista 20-P and yes it needs the 4232cbm module, but I am mora than happy with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wattsup Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Check with you installer but the nx8 driver uses the c4 old security protocol? I have have the same panel and would install DSC if I were building now only because it uses the new security protocol. if I’m wrong and there is a new driver for the NX8 please PM as I would update!

cybuch Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 the NX8-E doesn't need an external module and uses the new security proxy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
