Dear Home Security enthusiasts and experts,
I just moved in to a house that has Vivint alarm, but without the control panel. It has door sensors and motion detector.
I am considering either GE Simon XT or Honeywell Lyric, mainly because of their encryption feature.
1. I don't plan to do home automation. Just home security with fire detection, that has encryption between the base and sensors. I plan to do DIY install. Since I am an electronic technician, a bit complexity to install is ok.
2. I want to have central monitoring (cellular stand-alone monitoring).
3. I don't plan to have interactive feature (no controlling system neither through Alarm.com nor AlarmNet nor mobile app) as I don't like the idea of having ability to disarm my system remotely. However, it would be nice (if possible), to be able to see sensor activity, but without the ability to disarm the system remotely.
4. It would be nice if I can put existing Vivint door sensors and motion detector into use, but this is not a must.
Any idea which path I should take?
Thank you so much
