Honeywell/Ademco “Hybrid” Security Systems are fast becoming the number one security systems of choice for both professional installers and do it yourself homeowners. A hybrid system combines the security of a hardwired system with the convenience of wireless. By installing your hardwired control panel in a location remote from your keypad, an intruder cannot disable the system by knocking the keypad off the wall. For convenience, you can install all 5800 series wireless sensors in rooms where wire cannot be fished.
If you already have an Ademco hardwired system, you can turn make it hybrid by adding a 5881 wireless receiver or a hardwired “rf” keypad into your system.
