Unlock features of your DSC PowerSeries or Honeywell Vista home security system with the EVL-3 Envisalink Internet Alert module. Your home security system is powerful and was meant to be able to communicate and alert you no matter where you are in the world, but it takes this one of a kind module to gain remote access to your home monitoring system. This internet module is only compatible with hardwired DSC PowerSeries & Honeywell Vista alarm systems.

Through a standard web browser, this module uses internet monitoring and internet alarm reporting to give you full remote control of your alarm system even if you're a traveler. Detect intruder activity, respond to alerts immediately and use the web monitoring technology that allows arm, disarm, zone bypass and PGM control directly to your system.

Capabilities expand even further. Now take control of your home or business from PCs, tablets, smartphones or other mobile devices including: iPad, iPhone, Blackberry and Android Smartphones; local and remote access to any web enabled device!

With a web enabled interface, receive instant notifications via email, text message or SMS when your alarm is triggered. It also includes a "time-since-triggered" feature that gives you up to the minute information on what is happening with your system.

This add-on module comes with a built-in web server and html user-interface. From your PC or mobile device (if capable of internet connection), change your alarm settings, view real-time zone status and use event logging to keep a tight grasp on your home and your family's protection.

Say you live in Los Angeles, but you're currently in New York- you can program your module to allow e-mail and text message notifications to an unlimited number of addresses and phone numbers, so if sight-seeing or a business meeting has kept you from getting to an alert immediately, another trusted family member or neighbor will receive the same notification and can investigate a disturbance for you- if you've allowed them to also receive alerts.

Astonishingly, this tiny module that hooks right into your current DSC system travels the lengths of the earth to put you in much more control of your home alarm system.

Features

  • Simple to hook-up
  • Built-in web server and html user-interface
  • 128-bit encryption
  • Real-time zone status with "time-since-tripped" feature
  • Local and Remote Arm/Disarm/Zone Bypass/PGM Control
  • Event Logging
  • Receive Alerts by e-mail or SMS with an unlimited contact list.
  • See at a glance system status on a map in ESP interface
  • View cameras remotely from your PC, tablet or smartphone
    - Compatible with most IP network cameras.

PLEASE NOTE: This module is only compatible with hardwired DSC PowerSeries & Honeywell Vista alarm systems.

I'm an installer and these work great and are easy to setup. This will put monitoring companys out of business. Monitor your property for free. Awesome

It does work to arm/disarm the system, but the interface is pretty poor. You can only see zone numbers on alerts. Requires drilling holes in the honeywell panel for mounting. It would be nice if you could enter text for the zones. The device consumes a keypad instead of operating As a remote monitoring device. The events sent via email are not great: Security Event: Zone 1 Alarm Location: sitename Time: 2013-04-12 12:00:00 Partition: 1 You can directly log into the device on the local network, but the interface is even worse.

Very easy to setup on the DCS panel, but it would be nice if they had a Wi-Fi version. The company told me they were working on that, but I wouldn't expect it any time soon. Almost instant feedback regarding activity. Great/free reporting via email/sms (email specific to carrier). Ability to set types of alerts you want reported. The optional internet based monitoring company (8.99/mo + $39 first year setup) seems fine and as cheap as anything else I've seen. The don't monitor line breaks/internet down, but YOU can monitor via SMS or email. The only slight negative is that Eyez-On seems like a relatively small operation. Eyez-On Tech Support/Sales is by callback or email. They do call back or return emails relatively quickly. Also, their web site could be a little more intuitive/easier to find things regarding setup/options for the user. Overall, a great value!

I had my Vista 20P setup to call my cell phone via the pager function, but that doesn't tell you a whole lot. Came across this and ordered it. The instructions that come with it point you to their webpage for the Vista instructions. Followed those (which are pretty well written) and it worked great. I was able to run wired connection to it. The cell phone website and the full browser sites are both good. They also have a good forum with a product FAQ. I was able to answer the questions I had by looking through it. Would recommend it to anyone.

I was initially skeptical of this unit's compatibility with Honeywell Vista series brain due to it just came out and some research online provided conflicting information. However after installing it successfully with a Vista-20P I have been blown away with the features it provides. Some very minor notes/suggestions => I had to drill 3 mounting holes into the metal control box to mount the device (no problem but the provided instructions I think were for the DSC unit - it would have been nice to have updated instructions). Second while the website (which acts as a keypad) is feature rich, it is a bit dis-organized and could use some love with regard to the term "user friendly". However after some time I was able to navigate around to get done what I needed to. For a one time cost of $99 I got my own personal keypad that I can remote access from my primary house and android phone (alarm was installed in a vacation house). I have been completely satisfied with my $99 purchase... so much so that I have recommended this product for my father's house.

I just bought this for one of my clients and installed it on my DSC system first, I had a NextAlarm VoIP adapter first but after installing the Envisalink I'm highly impressed, it does everything I've wanted and more. I can arm, disarm, check status and activate custom features from my iPhone and iPad. The service is free so you can't beat a deal like this, I'm probably going to cancel my NextAlarm service and stick with the Eyez-On instead.

You need to make sure you hook up to the Control panel Wiring and you are up and running. It is best to use with a Wireless Gaming Adapter or Wireless bridge so you don't have to run Network Cat 5 wire directly to your Router from your control Panel. Setup was SO EASY And just register on the site and you are up and running in no time. Also Mobile Text setup is within their website too!!! GREAT AND you can monitor your Alarm FREE!! Just make sure if you use wireless bridge that you need power back up on on it as well as your Internet Router and Modem!

Bought the unit in June and just recently got a moment to install. I should not have waited. Install went very well, setup and functions are very good and I couldn't be happier. Great product and works very well with my DSC alarm, so well I am ordering another unit for my mountain home.

AWESOME! Installed my 2DS on an old PC1555MX DSC board. It works great! I put a shortcut on my android to the mobile link that they advised. It's simple and intuitive. I'll probably only use my keypads to enroll new devices unless I take the time to learn the full command structure. Doesn't seem worth doing that because both the mobile app and the device web page do everything I need. Be advised... If your router is not near your alarm box or a keypad, you'll have to run some 4 contact phone line or an ethernet cable to make up one or the other connection. You can splice the 4 wire connection (red, black, yellow, green) right into any of the keypad hardwired lines at any location and piggyback right off the line. You don't need a separate line. However, you do need a separate ethernet cable to your router. Be sure you power down your system and do continuity checks before wiring in your 2DS and firing it up. My nearest ethernet connection is on the other side of the house. So, I used an obsolete phone line to route the 2DS. Enjoy!

Exellent product. Easy to set up. I can monitor and control my alarm from the internet. I get texts when my system alarms (or is turned on or off etc..). Bonus! I can get cheap monitoring through this device over the internet! No more phone lines!

If you are on the fence... GET THIS!!! So far so good. I am able to arm/disarm my DSC 1832 via any computer, but more importantly also from my Droid Maxx Smartphone. It looks like there is no Android App, but after you register the product, they give you a link to your particular page for mobile use. Just make a bookmark of that page and then make a shortcut on your home page to that bookmark. Works great.. almost just like an app. You may need to log in each time, but that is good to have should you lose your phone. It was super simple to install. I don't know too much about alarms as I had my system installed for me and I am having it monitored through a local company who has the installer code. Not having the installer code made no difference. There is a YouTube video walking you through the install and how to activate and setup the product through the eyez-on website. Even I could do it. Just search "2DS install" on YouTube and it should pop up. Great price and you will have no monthly fees! I look forward in the future to see how this works with cameras, as it is supposed to support them as well. Quick shipping from Home Security Store, but it was missing the Mounting Stand-Offs (comes with 3). Home Security Store Shipped them out quickly, but when they got here 1 was broken. I just made do, and 2 held it on just fine. If everyone knew how easy this is and with it having such a low price, I think if you own a DSC system you should get this... you will not regret it!

Very pleased with this product! Programming the DSC panel was kind of a pain, but integrating this module was super easy and works great! I got so tired of paying monthly for bad monitoring service. All said and done my system cost me less than $500, and I have no monthly fees. To get this kind of automation with other monitoring services it would have cost me a $900 installation fee plus $40 - $50 per month on a 2 year contract.

An absolute must for any DSC alarm owner. If you want full control of your alarm system via the internet or your phone without the cost of home monitoring, you need this device. I was worried that setting up this device would be difficult, but it was a breeze. Super happy with my purchase.

So this is the product that my alarm company said didn't exist. Hah! I sent them the link to home security store, paid $50 markup (whatever) and now I have it. I guess I could have installed it myself but anyhow I'm completely happy with purchase. At a dinner party last weekend I pulled out my android to show people my system and we watched in real-time my cleaning lady moving around the house. Very cool.
