KIT32-219 - DSC Power 1832 Wireless Ready Security Kit

This Is Where You Start Building

The DSC 1832 Wireless Ready Security Kit is a powerful home security starter kit with room for a great expansion. Everything you need to launch your home security is contained in this affordable and reliable monitoring system.

Everything You Need

First, you'll need a control panel to run the system. That control panel needs power and phone line connection. Then comes the keypad. The keypad arms and disarms your accessories and is your emergency connection to an alarm monitoring company. All of these items are included in this convenient kit along with simple do-it-yourself installation.

Then, there's the accessories. This is where you boost your security system's capabilities. What's great about this system is that it eliminates guesswork when selecting accessories. Included is an interior surface mount siren, loud enough to wake you from a deep sleep, and a digital PIR (Passive Infrared) motion detector with pet-immunity to avoid false alarms. With the included accessories you get 8 hardware input zones- great coverage for a beginner alarm kit.

Ready For Expansion

If you want to expand your system (add motion detectors, door and window sensors, etc.), this alarm kit supports up to 32 hardwired or wireless zones and supports up to 8 key pads. It's ready for expansion when you are.

The Past and The Present

To keep past and present POWERSERIES systems flush, this alarm system is backward compatible with all previous generation modules and key pads, except this one has over 100 new features.

Among the new products comprising the updated POWERSERIES product platform are three new control panels. Each control panel shares a universal hardware/software design that ensures an equal and rich feature set and easy future expandability. With near limitless capabilities, the control panels seamlessly integrate with our award-winning Internet and network alarm communicators (T-Link), industry-leading visual alarm verification module (VVM110), SKYROUTE wireless alarm communicator and other specialty modules, wireless devices and structured cabling solutions. If you're already familiar with POWERSERIES, the new platform will be an easy transition for you. Despite the addition of a number of value-added features, traditional programming remains unchanged, as does the installation process.

Mike on 3/10/2013, said: The PC1832 kit did take some time to read through all documentation, but it has been worth it. Setup and programming is simple, once you "carefully" read through required documents. I replaced an older wired system, and have a combination of wired and wireless sensors. From my research, this was a good value, and great way to start with what you need, and expand as you wish. Was this comment helpful? yes no   (0 people found this comment helpful, 0 did not) 2. Scott on 2/9/2013, said: After a lot of research I decided on the DSC Hybrid for two key reasons. It has excellent wireless range and the interface with the Envisalink EVL-3. I can't say enough about the EVL-3 notification (email/text) and the easy networking setup along with awesome customer service (sorry sounds like a commercial) The range of the wireless is good but added the repeater to make it rock solid for the tri-zone sensors using them as a door mag switch and using the extra input for a PIR. The home security store offered the best overall pricing along with great customer service once you reach them. Be prepared to wait on hold for Tech support although it's worth it compared to waiting for an overseas scripted support center. Knocked off a star do to DSC not offering a wireless horn solution for my out buildings. I'll have to find a separate transmit/receive kit to hook up with the PGM output.

Dave on 9/12/2012, said: I have no prior experience installing alarm systems and I got the basic functionality up and going on my workbench in about an hour. It took a little digging to figure out how to disable the system trying to use the phone line, which I don't have (using a 2DS instead). Also had to figure out which one was the 1k resistor to bypass the siren, but a quick google search gave answers to these questions. It seems a lot of DIYers use this setup, and there is a wealth of knowledge out there on forums. All the parts and pieces and electrical diagrams seem a little daunting at first, but it all goes together easily and works great!

Even though I used to be an alarm service tech (10 years ago) I was confused a few times with the programming. Because of my background, I was able to figure it out. I think a homeowner will struggle. On the other hand, one of my keypads needed to be initialized and I couldn't find the procedure. I finally called tech support and the tech was friendly, cheerful and extremely helpful. Others have mentioned they called tech support to be walked through programming and were very happy with the results, so I guess that's a viable avenue if you get in over your head. The alarm is very stable. I'm using it with 9 hardwire points (8 on the panel and one on a keypad) plus 10 wireless transmitters. I think it is a very-very good deal for the cost. It does everything, and doesn't break the bank. Plus DSC has been making alarms for a long time now. Glad I bought this package and from the Home Security Store.

Shanna on 8/20/2012, said: I am a total novice at programming alarm systems, but with the superb help from the technicians at the Home Security Store, I got the system to work with 3 hardwired contacts and 8 wireless contacts. The technicians were patient, respectful, and stayed with me until the job was done right. I recommend their services 100%.

Awsome!! Was this comment helpful? yes no   (5 people found this comment helpful, 1 did not) 7. Anonymous User on 4/27/2012, said: Well today i was able to get my system installed. From start to finish i spoke with some great and helpful employee's of Home Security Store. These gentalmen, Steve from sales at ext. 202, and Jeff Mays from techical support are in my opinion the best people to assist me with my alarm systems because they were patient with me. If i had to say anything it would not be about the help i received it would be to make sure you go threw every accessories because you dont know what you may need. I needed to purchase a lock for the box and a DSL alarm filter. So far so good Im very happy with this system. Was this comment helpful? yes no   (2 people found this comment helpful, 0 did not) 8. Chuong on 3/21/2012, said: Replaced an existing Brinks/Honeywell system with this. All the zones wired up just fine. System is running great is the attached Envisalink 2ds. Manual is hard to understand so ditch it and use the guide provided in the forums. Was this comment helpful? yes no   (3 people found this comment helpful, 0 did not) 9. Ike on 1/20/2012, said: I recently upgraded to the 1832 panel because I wanted the wireless capability. I have installed a couple of the 1832 v4.2 for others and had no problem using the DLS2002 software. However, the PC1832 system board that came with the setup was v4.5. I have not been able to find the drivers needed for a PC1832 v4.5, the highest available driver pack for PC1832 via www.homesecuritystore.com website is v4.2. I spoke with a customer representative and they said what is there is what you get. Other than not being able to configure the panel via PC, the text keypad is defiantly a plus while configuring w/o a software interface. Was this comment helpful? yes no   (1 people found this comment helpful, 0 did not) 10. Dustin on 11/29/2011, said: This is a very nice basic hardwire alarm system with wireless capability also. Too bad the security store doesn't list it in hardwire alarms or more people would probably buy it. I added some hardwire motion detectors, smoke detectors, glassbreak detectors and door contacts. All were easily wired with no prior knowledge of such things. The videos found in tech support are great. Sensors were wired with 22/4 and 22/2 wire sold here. Then all you need is 18/2 thermostat wire for the transformer and some 16/2 or 14/2 for the siren. My only complaint is the LC-100 motion detector that comes with the package, just plan on replacing that right away. Otherwise 5 star. Was this comment helpful? yes no   (6 people found this comment helpful, 1 did not) 11. Chad on 10/18/2011, said: We had someone break in our house, and decided that we needed a security system. I chose this system because it allows you to have both wired and wireless sensors. The wireless receiver is built into the RFK5500 (hence the RF "radio frequency" I’d guess). It took me a few nights after work to get it all hooked up. I ended up purchasing this kit, 5 BS-2033 wired senors, a roll of 22/4 wire, and a roll of 22/2 wire, 5 WS4945 wireless sensors, a SD30W loud siren, and the CAMLOCK to have a locking key for the cabinet. Also, and notably, I added the EnvisaLink 2DS, from Eyez-On. This device goes right into the panel, and hooks up to your internet connection, and allows the system to be controlled over the internet, and includes the ability to send you a text message, or an email, or both, for different alarm notifications. Since I do not have a home phone, the EnvisaLink 2Ds is a great add on available with the DSC 1832. Installation was straight forward. I spent a lot of time in my attic, stringing wires to a closet. I installed an outlet near the closet, in the attic, and ran the wire (not included, 18 gauge lamp cord) down to the panel, through some PVC conduit, so that it would look nice, and be protected. I put the panel near our most used door, and ran the 22/4 wire back to the panel. I also used the 22/4 wire to reach the motion sensor in the garage. I used 16 gauge speaker wire (also not included) to hook up both the indoor siren, and the larger siren (installed in the attic, facing out of a vent). I just put both of the sirens on the +/- bell outputs, and they both work fine. Programming was not too difficult for me. You must read the manual, and take the time to understand it. If you are having trouble, there are online forums out there that can help you. I did not need to call the homesecuritystore (yet). To be fair, I did not program the phone communications, so that could be harder. Setting up the internet enabled EnvisaLink 2DS was a breeze, just follow the few directions that come with it. When it comes to programming your wireless sensors, start with zone 9, so that if you ever want to add more to your hardwired system, you can. And, remember to add the wireless attribute to the zone, as well as assign it as a delay or instant, or what not. When installing the resistors, be sure to put them at the end of the line. They fit just fine inside the little wired sensors. I used some shrink tubing to cover the splices. The idea is that if you put them at the end of your line, the system will detect if your line has been cut, or spliced together, negating the sensor all together. It is a little more work than just sticking them in the panel, but provides a lot of protection. I am happy so far with this kit. It has brought the peace of mind that I was hoping for. Was this comment helpful? yes no   (12 people found this comment helpful, 0 did not) 12. Robert on 10/9/2011, said: This is a great system that you can easily expand. It actually comes with a RFK5500-ENG instead of a RFK-5500, which is better in my opinion. The ENG model has English words on the right-side function keys instead of symbols, which I think makes it easier to understand. It's very easy to program from this keypad; just make sure you completed the worksheet first. DSC wireless devices are very easy to add to this system.

Anonymous User on 10/7/2011, said: I called ADT and got an estimate and was only offered enough equip. to cover 5 win./door entries and 2 motions detectors.Well my home has 16 win./door entries.So discussing this with the sales rep he wanted to charge me $120 dollars per extra win./door entry wireless sensor.which would have cost me over $1000 dollars.when i started researching these wireless sensors and found out they were really only $29 dollars each.So needless to say i told him to go Fxxx himself and to have a nice day.I discovered this DSC 1832 Hybrid alarm system which was a fraction of the cost that ADT was trying to scam me out of.The install was a breeze as long as you can look at picture diagrams and have some sort of handyman common sense.This system offers lifetime tech support which means maybe you will be on hold for 20 minutes but tech support was exellent.They will walk you through programing and are pretty friendly too.Also after you get your system installed you can get it also monitored by your company of choice for a better rate and contract term than if you went and had the monitoring company install your system and rape you monthly on your bill.Overall this is a great system.I saved about a grand ($1000.00) Was this comment helpful? yes no   (7 people found this comment helpful, 1 did not) 14. Anonymous User on 3/21/2011, said: nice buy. used for almost 8 months now withou any problem. Great customer support and easy to install. I saved a lot by going through this route. Hope it would save money. Was this comment helpful? yes no   (5 people found this comment helpful, 0 did not) 15. Damon on 5/26/2010, said: I bought this to replace my GE NX-8 system that I had been locked out of. This system can be manually reset at the board which I really like. It can also be programmed to call a cell phone and give a tone pattern of zone. The different chimes per zone is also a great feature but unfortunately the log is nearly worthless. It is a little difficult to program and the siren is not loud but otherwise a nice looking system that seems to work well. I just wish there were more custom chimes and better logging. I have not tried the wireless sensors yet. Was this comment helpful? yes no   (15 people found this comment helpful, 1 did not) 16. Franklin on 4/14/2010, said: This kit is great because you get the best of both worlds, wired and wireless. I had an existing Radionics alarm system with existing wired door contacts, window contacts, glass break sensors, motion sensors, horn, and 4-wire keypad wiring. I was able to reuse ALL of my existing hardwired devices. I was able to plug in the panel and keypad as a drop-in replacement. Now that I have the base system installed, I can upgrade new devices and wireless devices. I've already added a wireless key fob, and plan to order some wireless smoke detectors. I highly recommend this kit because it has the RFK5500 keypad, which gives you wireless capabilities. But the real advantage to the 5500 keypad is the Plain English Programming. It is very user friendly to program with this keypad, because the plain English prompts you through the programming process. The receiver portion of the keypad seems to have good range. I have the keypad in an upstairs bedroom, and am able to use the wireless key fob in the 1st floor garage. I walked all over a large two story house, and get good signal all over the house, and immediately outside the house. The included siren is not very loud and for interior use, the siren would be okay for a condo or apartment. For a single family home, you probably would want to order an exterior loud decibel siren to mount outside. The door to the cabinet doesn't stay shut by itself. So you may want to order the Camlock accessory. Otherwise you have to use two small screws in the pre-drilled holes in the door to secure the door so it doesn't flap open. That is what I did, and it works fine. Three recommendations I have if you buy this system. (1) Read the included manual cover-to-cover. (2) Fill out the worksheets. (3) Set the system up on a bench, and bench test and program, before you install it. Doing these three things will give you a very good understanding of the system, and will make the final installation a breeze.
