Hey, DIYers.
Dylan here, with Alarm Grid.
Today we're going to be going over the differences
between the Lyric system, the L7000, and the L5210.
All three of these are Honeywell products.
I'm going to be going over, basically just
each feature of the system, how they differ,
how they're the same.
And then near the end, I'll just mention our recommendation.
And then go from there.
So the system right here is the Lyric control system.
This is Honeywell's newest touchscreen system.
This is coming after the L7000, also touchscreen as well.
And the final one, the 5210--
touchscreen as well.
You can notice that the touchscreen on this one
is much smaller opposed to the first two.
So the compatible sensors for these systems-- for the Lyric,
it can work with the SiX Series sensors,
which are the encrypted sensors specifically made
for the Lyric.
It could also work with the 5800 sensors.
The 5800 sensors are Honeywell sensors.
Just like the 7000 and the 5210, all
compatible with the 5800 sensors.
So the screen sizes for the Lyric and the L7000,
they both have about a 7 inch screen.
For the 5210, the screen is about 4.3 inches.
And they are all 3LCD screens.
As you can notice, I do have the backlight off on the Lyric,
so it might go black.
There are features like that on these other two.
I just have it enabled for this one right now.
You can see, aesthetically, the Lyric
is a lot cleaner opposed to the other two.
The other two are still good systems,
but if you want something a little bit more
modern looking, a little bit easier on the eyes,
the Lyric is one we usually recommend specifically
for that reason.
Interactive services that you can use with all three
of these panels is Total Connect.
Total Connect is the Honeywell remote service.
Essentially, it's the application
where you can control these systems from your smartphone,
iPad, tablet, computer, anything like that.
Basically, arm and disarm remotely,
get live notifications.
But pretty much all Honeywell panels
usually go with Total Connect as the remote application.
So Wi-Fi connectivity-- the Lyric is actually
the only of the three that has Wi-Fi connectivity built in,
meaning right when you open this, right when you set it up,
you can connect it to your network.
You don't need to get anything extra
or install anything extra.
The 7000 and the 5210, you do need
to get the L5100 Wi-Fi module and install it
into the boards for these to connect to Wi-Fi.
You will connect the panels to Wi-Fi
to basically send out signal to an alarm company,
to a central station, or to your Total Connect application.
For cell connectivity, also same idea.
It's used for sending out signal to applications,
central stations, anything like that.
None of these has cell built in.
So you would have to get a cell module for each individual one.
The Lyric is a little bit different
as its cell module pops into the side of the panel,
while the 7000 and the 5210--
they use similar cell connectors,
but you have to open up the board
and actually install it into the board itself,
screw it into place, and then close up the board afterwards.
For Z-Wave-- so the Lyric is the only of the two
that has Z-Wave capability built in.
So this means, just like the Wi-Fi,
basically once you get this set up and powered on,
you can start connecting Z-Wave devices.
For the 7000 and the 5210, you can do the same thing, however,
you need the Z-Wave module chip.
Just like the Wi-Fi chip, basically just open the board,
pop it in, close the board, then you have Z-Wave capability.
So Lyric built in, the LYNX not built in.
You have to get the module.
For encrypted sensors, the Lyric is the only of the three
that have encrypted sensors.
Those were those SiX series sensors I mentioned before.
They are a little bit stronger range
than the 5800's functionality.
They're similar, except the main difference is obviously
they are encrypted opposed to the 5800 series
which are not encrypted.
And as a reminder, you can still use 5800 series sensors
with the Lyric, even though they're not encrypted.
Still works.
So the siren that is built into each of these panels
is the same.
It's about 85 decibels.
Not much to mention there.
So out of all three of the panels,
the Lyric is the only one with a camera.
You can see it right here on top.
It is a whopping two megapixels.
For the Lyric camera, basically it
takes snapshots when you disarm the system.
You can turn this feature off if you don't want it.
There is a downside to the camera though.
It's not really the best camera.
So you will need good lighting.
We've seen plenty of customers contact us thinking their Lyric
camera is bad, however, it's just
the lighting in the background is not
bright enough so the image comes out looking black.
It's just very, very dark.
You just need good lighting, and you've got a good image.
Let's see.
The amount of user codes that these systems can hold--
the Lyric and the 7000 both can hold up to 48 total user codes.
The 5210 can hold up to 32.
So you know, good difference.
Obviously, the newer systems can hold more codes.
We do get commercial customers coming in asking,
how many codes can I have for my employees?
The answer 48 or 32.
So all three of these use a 2.7 amp 9 volt, basically,
transformer for power.
Pretty consistent.
You just want to keep it powered on all the time.
It does have a backup battery in each one.
The default one for all three is about four hours,
so meaning if the AC power is cut, all three of these panels
can basically be powered on for about four hours
afterwards before their batteries die.
There are advanced batteries that can hold a charge up
to 24 hours.
Those aren't the primary ones because it's
kind of rare to have power outages last for more
than four hours to begin with.
But you can always update the battery.
So all three of these are wireless panels.
The amount of wireless zones they can handle--
the Lyric comes in first at 128 wireless zones,
plus you can do 32 key fobs.
The L7000 can hold up to 80 wireless zones,
and you can do 24 key fobs.
And the L5210 can do 64 wireless zones,
and you can do 16 key fobs.
So obviously the Lyric--
if you want to be doing a lot more zones,
the Lyric's the one you want to go with.
And then for the hardwired zones--
all three of these do have a hardwired zone.
The Lyric has two.
These two have one.
That's mainly going to be used for normally
closed contacts, such as doors, windows, anything like that.
Pretty basic.
Not really many people use the hardwired set up,
from what I've seen.
Mainly it's just wireless, but you do have the option
if you want to.

we do have each individual system on our site.
