Dual-path Monitoring and the VISTA-21iP
In this video, Jarrett from Alarm Grid explains how you can do dual-path monitoring on a Honeywell VISTA-21iP System. Dual-path monitoring refers to setting up the system with both IP and cellular service. To set up dual-path monitoring with a VISTA-21iP, you will need to add dual-path communicator.
The Honeywell VISTA-21iP can be set up for alarm monitoring right out of the box with its built-in IP communicator. This IP communicator allows you to run a hardwired ethernet connection to the system for internet connectivity. But if you want to use dual-path connectivity, then a dual-path communicator must be added. It isn't enough to just add a cellular communicator. This is because adding an external cellular communicator will require you to disable the built-in IP communicator for the system. While that would give you the excellent reliability of cellular, your system would no longer be sending out signals across an IP network.
There are some key advantages to using a dual-path setup with your VISTA-21iP Security System. Your system will have the reliability of cellular connectivity, plus the speed of IP service when it is available. While IP is typically the primary path, it is fairly unreliable by itself because of the possibility of internet outages. But cellular service almost never goes down or becomes unavailable when an adequate connection is obtained. Together, IP and cellular service make for the perfect team.
Resideo also released a new version of the VISTA-21iP, which is called the Honeywell Home VISTA-21iPLTE. The VISTA-21iPLTE has a built-in IP communicator just like the VISTA-21iP. But the difference between these systems is that only the VISTA-21iPLTE can support one of the new plug-in LTE modules, which do not require you to disable the panel's internal IP communicator. This means that you can add LTE cellular service to the system, while still continuing to use IP connectivity. For reference, the two plug-in LTE communicators for the VISTA-21iPLTE are the LTE-21V (Verizon LTE) and the LTE-21A (AT&T LTE). Remember that you will need an appropriate monitoring plan to activate any communicator for any alarm system.
