The Honeywell L5210 control panel is the latest panel in the L5200 series. The L7000 is the latest in the Lynx line of wireless control panels. This video will aim to explain the differences as well as the similarities between the two panels.
While most of the wireless features will be redundant in the two models, the Honeywell L5210 & L7000 do have distinct differences. Follow along with the video to learn about these and their features to help you better decide which one is right for you.
The L7000 has a 7-inch touch screen and enhanced features. The screen will show video that can be streamed directly to the panel in a quad camera view. Conversely, the L5210 can only view one camera at a time.
Both systems do support the Z-Wave card that will allow for automation control. They also both make use of the L5100 WiFi module. Both of these modules will result in a truly wireless home and security system.
For devices and communications, both panels fully support the AT&T 3GL cellular device as well as all of the 5800 series wireless sensors.
The first main hardware difference is that the L7000 does not support a tip & ring POTS phone line. You can use a hard wired phone line for communications.
When we get into the software, the L7000 is a little more robust. It features the ability to support up to 80 wireless zones. It will also support more Z-Wave enabled door locks and thermostats than the L5210 as the video will discuss in greater detail.
On the similarities though, both panels have graphic touch screens and both offer built in sirens. They both also support the LT power plug and offer swing down hinged panels for card and hardware access.
The L7000 will support more zones, more key fobs and more users. However, if you are using the panels in a residential environment, you should never reach the maximum for either panel. A business environment with multiple employees may benefit from the L7000 in this regard.
In the end, the ultimate choice is up to you as to which panel will work the best. If cost effectiveness is a priority, the L5210 is the inexpensive option. However the price difference may be negligible for the added features of the L7000 control panel.
Programming and support is identical for both panels and their user-friendly ease makes either one a great choice. This video aims to explain the differences and show how each panel comes out on top depending on your exact needs.
If you would like more information on either panel or the devices it supports, such as Z-Wave sensors, lights, door locks and thermostats, or if you want to learn how to enroll these devices into your system, please have a look at our other videos.
