For you guys who know security I need some assistance.
I'm going to install an Elan Via system soon and the homeowner has a quote for an Ademco system using a Vista 20 Control Panel with the following list of components: 815 siren 6128 pads 945/5150 Ademcon/ Sentrol sensors Ademco 900sensors Ademco 945sensors Ademco 2145 Dual Tek sensors
I need to know if I can just tell the homeowner that they need to just tell the security company to exchange the Vista20 to a Apex Destiny 6100 and the rest of the list is still good(less the pads) or does everything need to be changed? Sold customer on the one pad convience the Via offers not knowing he already had security bid and might change his mind if switching to the 6100 increases his cost significantly above the $2 grand quote he got.
Also is there any thing besides the rs232 interface modual need to hook up this systems?
thanks for any advice you can offer. this is first install tieing in with a security system.
