Cameras that Work w/ the Lyric and Total Connect

In this video, Jarrett from Alarm Grid discusses which security cameras can be used with the Honeywell Lyric Alarm System and Total Connect 2.0. Only Honeywell IP Cameras can be used in this way. There are two (2) types of Honeywell IP Cameras. There are newer Honeywell HD Cameras that are still being manufactured and sold as of late 2020. There are also legacy Honeywell Cameras that are no longer being manufactured, but old existing models can still be used. Understanding the differences between these two main camera categories is very important for getting the most out of them.

There are three (3) Honeywell HD Camera models. These include the Honeywell IPCAM-WIC1, the Honeywell IPCAM-WIC2, and the Honeywell IPCAM-WOC1. The IPCAM-WIC1 and IPCAM-WIC2 are for indoor use only, while the IPCAM-WOC1 can be used indoors or outdoors. These cameras can all interface with Total Connect 2.0 for streaming through a web browser or the TC2 Mobile App. However, none of these cameras can be streamed locally from the Lyric. These cameras all stream in high-definition, with the IPCAM-WIC1 being 720p, and the IPCAM-WIC2 and IPCAM-WOC1 being 1080p. By accessing these cameras from Total Connect 2.0, you can stream them from pretty much anywhere in the world. The SkyBell HD Video Doorbell camera is also incapable of being viewed on the Lyric Alarm Panel.

The legacy Honeywell IP Cameras are no longer being manufactured, and they can only be used with TC2 if they were online to receive a critical firmware update when it was pushed down. For this reason, be careful when purchasing used cameras. Legacy cameras that were not online to receive this update are bricked, and they cannot be used. Also, these cameras only stream in standard definition (SD). But the good thing about the legacy Honeywell IP Cameras is that if you can manage to get them online with TC2, they can also be live-streamed directly from the Lyric Alarm Panel. This a big advantage of the legacy Honeywell IP Cameras, as they are the only ones that can be streamed locally from the Lyric.
