EyezOn Envisalink EVL-4EZR IP Security Interface Module for DSC and Honeywell (Ademco) Security Systems, Compatible with Alexa

works great for self monitoring my DSC alarm and integrating it into my homecontrol Vera box. easy to setup and install. the only recommendation is dont think you know it all and not look at the directions. after 2 hours of it not working right i pulled out the directions and read that I needed to setup a user account to get this product to work, as soon as I did that it had worked flawlessly.

Installed easily and working fine. I can access traditional DSC security system by phone app from anywhere, stable and accurate, nice product!

This pay for itself within months by facilitating self monitoring

I have a Honeywell Vista 20p system that I installed myself. I am not a professional installer and had this installed in less than an hour with the detailed instructions. I can now remotely control my alarm system from my phone.

This card works great. I followed the instructions and watched some videos by YouTubers and everything worked perfectly. The Eyez On app also allowed complete control of the system and Alarms to my phone. Overall much easier than I expected. I used a wireless extender to go from the ethernet port to my wireless network. One item user should consider is a UPS battery backup dedicated to the wireless extender and another one for your modem/router. Otherwise a power loss results in no alarm functionality.

Works really well, I would recommend if you are needing to self monitor your existing security system. Fairly simple to install with video help form manufacture. Would give them 5 stars but they need to update installation video to show programming of panel.

After yet another price increase with ADT, and yet another cell communicator being obsoleted (in just a 3 year period), plus not having control over my sensors or being able to add any new sensors myself without having an ADT technician do it for me, I got fed up with ADT and decided to look for alternatives. Having read all the positive reviews about Envisalink and particular with its integration with Home Assistant, I decided to cut ties with ADT, reconfigure my Vista systems by swaping out a 15P with a 20P and added a zone expander so that I can monitor all rooms as separate zones (rather than having all my doors lumped into one zone and three bedrooms lumped into another zone... thanks ADT, thats REAL helpful), and installed the Envisalink 4 as well as the Sidekick LTE backup communicator. Installation went smoothly and there are plenty of reviews here and good instructions from EyezOn that give the lowdown how to do it all. Got connected to EyezOns website with no issues and it even picked up my Sidekick even before I started a subscription for it, so its nice knowing that its getting a strong signal and connecting successfully. The integration with Home Assistant works great too. Although currently the integration is done by old-fashioned yaml configuration only and not UI yet (as of the 2021.6.1 version), its pretty simple to setup and now I get near instantaneous sensor status and arming/disarming locally over my LAN. A couple of caveats I ran into: I had a spare Vista 20P board sitting around. When ADT upgraded me to Pulse a few years ago, rather than swapping my current Vista 15P out for the 20P (and getting me two extra zones), the technician just swapped the chip out into the 15P to give it Pulse support and handed me the 20P and say here, this is yours to do whatever you want. So I saved it as a backup. When it came time to switch to Envisalink, I dusted off the board and put it in my panel. Since it had no chip, I bought one labeled with version 10.23 off of eBay (newer is better, right? WRONG!). Turns out that the latest 10.XX for ADT are meant to support their latest generation of communicators and break compatibility with older and third-party communicators. I kept getting 103 error messages and Incompatible Communicator messages on my 6160 keypad display. After e-mailing EyezOn support, they told me the bad news that the 10.XX versions are not compatible with their communicators. I swapped the chip out of my old Vista 15P board with version 9.12 into the 20P, and it fixed my communication issues! So be sure to use a chip with version 9.XX or below. Second issue was with my VLAN setup. I have a pfSense router and segment my network into multiple VLANS. Security systems and cameras get their own VLAN on my network. Turns out that you cant connect to the Envisalink from another VLAN if the password is set to the default user. So youll need to either start out with your computer/laptop/cell (whatever youre connecting to the local Envasalink webserver with) on the same VLAN first, change the password to something else (6 digits is the limit for the Envisalink 4 I believe), then put it on its separate VLAN. This goes for both accessing the local web server as well as for the Home Assistant integration. To get Home Assistant to access it from another VLAN, I simply add a firewall rule to allow the HASS server IP to access the Envisalink IP on port 4025. Hope that helps for those who run into these same issues. Everything works great for me now. Its nice to have professional UL rated monitoring for a fraction of the cost of ADT plus have better local Home Assistant integration, and have total control over maintaining my own security system myself.

Very, very easy to install in a DSC 1832 system. With an Ethernet connection and creating an EyezOn account we now have home monitoring for selected events (opening and closing) including alarms. Very much appreciate this product and services it provides!

Like the interface. Only downside is this is third unit in seven years. First was Dec 2015, second was Jul 2019 and third was Jan 2023. Overall, I like being able to arm and monitor my alarm remotely. Drop one star because I would like to get more than 3.5 years per unit. Still a good enough value not to look for another solution.
