The highly skilled staff at Fox Guard Security has been in the professional security business for over 45 years. Home security has certainly evolved, so Fox Guard Security has taken the most trusted quality equipment and combined it with the convenience of an easy 100% online purchase. The purchase, activation, technical assistance, and sales support are all unique to Fox Guard Security and will consistently raise the quality of the DIY Security market, one customer, at a time.

Service

Fox Guard Security has changed the support structure common with local companies by developing a full custom library of service and support documents, manuals, step by step guides, and "How-To" videos. Fox Guard Security customers have more access to experienced, accurate, and detailed service documents and videos that are online and available 24/7, something that most local security companies, and even most online security companies, cannot offer. Service these days has changed and Fox Guard Security has adapted and innovated for the benefit of its customers!
Security

Many times the security products and support that can be found through online companies are inferior to what a local company can offer, or that is available through other means. Fox Guard Security has decided that they will change that perception. They asked, "Who makes the best and most trusted alarm equipment in the industry?" The answer was easy: Honeywell. Honeywell is the number one choice throughout the industry by not only thousands of alarm dealers and installers but by millions of customers throughout the United States. No other equipment is as versatile, convenient, or trusted as the equipment Fox Guard Security has chosen to provide its DIY customers. Because Fox Guard Security uses the BEST equipment, its customers are more secure than any other security company's customer. On top of that, Fox Guard Security uses the leading provider of life safety monitoring services in the United States, providing UL Listed, TMA Five Diamond monitoring services. There is nothing better.

Videos like this are priceless and why YouTube is such a powerful platform. Thank you for all the time you spent sharing your knowledge with us. Very helpful for beginner's like myself!

[steveprescott]

This is the clearest, most well-thought out, exhaustive and informative YouTube guide I've ever seen. It serves as a model for everyone else. Thank you.

[ReaperCartoons]

you caused me to get 2 raises in ONE YEAR! im eager to learn! thanks so much

[BlownMacTruck]

Props to you guys for walking people through all the options! That's super generous.

[stevebolaris]

Excellent step by step that follows the install manual for the 20P. When I replaced my 1985 vintage Ademco panel with the Vista 20 P, 6160 RF and Tuxedo touch, I struggled a bit on the programming. That struggle was eased by going back to this video as I added more RF contacts. Next up is to add the IP cameras, This video reminds me to go back and double check the programming that is in place. Following the video and the suggested setting will make it a lot less of a headache! Thanks Fox Guard!

Imagine if this video had time stamps. This extensive walkthrough is top notch. Good stuff.

[chrissherer]

Field 64 isn't to let you know if the system is on test. It is for setting the test report time: once a day, once a week, or once every 28 days. The panel then sends a test signal to the monitoring company who in turn can report back if they have received it or not in the time it was expected.

Informative vid, programmed on of these last week, with a highly experienced installer, pretty intense for the first time.
This vid helps quite a bit, thanks for the info.

[carwashnoord]

I've decided to buy this system just because of this detailed video.

[franksam]

Great walk through explanation. Clear & easy to understand. Much appreciated!!

[VideoNOLA]

Good presentation, despite glossing over a few odds and ends (i.e. things pressed or stated without any explanation as to what they refer to), but that's to be expected with any long, detailed exposition like this. Learned a lot!

[antronargaiv]

As someone about to modify the programming on the ADT version of this panel which came with the house my daughter just bought, I thank you for helping me turn the abandoned system into something useful to her. Anyone here used the EyezOn Invisalink EVL-4EZR IP interface module? We're looking at it to do self-monitoring on her iPhone.

Excellent video. Trying to find some programming tutorials for our new techs. I program vista's on a daily basis. Vista 20, 32, 128 etc. One thing I like to do is *97 before i ever start programming. I also enter the same digits for both partitions. So entry exit will be 30, 30. Ee2 will usually be 40, 40. Depending on circumstances. Wish you would have hooked up some demonstration devices on the hardwired zones even if merely a 2k resistor at the end of the wires to simulate a smoke, door, motion etc. Amazing video through and through.

[WillCorg]

I wish you hadn’t skipped *24 “RF House ID Code”. The whole reason I installed the Vista-20P is because I have it integrated with an RTI automation system. I have a wireless contact on my Pool gates, and I intend on programming an event on the RTI side where, if someone opens the pool gate before disarming it, all the TVs in the house will come on, then change the inputs to the overhead pool camera NVR in order to see if my autistic son has escaped out there. I need to know all I can about this security system. I’m using the Ademco 4232CBM module to communicate with it. I already know how to integrate with a Security system that has already been programmed, I just don’t know how to program the security system 100% just yet.
Thanks for the existing info though.

[tommccarron]

This is far better than calling customer service in India. I tell them what the screen says and every representative I talked to ask me, does the outlet work? LOL. They are reading from a list and have no idea what you're talkin about.

[TRD_Mike]

Incredibly helpful! Thank you so much for making this video!

[Sector_Nine]

Fantastic tutorial, this made programming my Vista20p so much easier. Thank You!

[pilotguy]

Thank you! This made my life so much easier!

[dg]

I have 6160 keypads with my Vista-20P. Is there any way to make these keypads be constantly illuminated rather than only after a key is pressed? These are very hard to see, particularly at night.

[michaelcrain]

Cannot say thank you enough. Really saved my ass
