Hey, DIYers.
This is George at Alarm Grid.
Today, we're going to be going over what
cameras are compatible with the Lyric controller.
Now, if you have an existing, old generation Honeywell
camera--
those would be the Honeywell iPCAM-WL2, the iPCAM-WL,
any of the Honeywell iPCAM pan tilts,
or the Honeywell iPCAM-WO, which is the outdoors--
those cameras should still work with the Lyric controller.
You can get those activated by your existing monitoring
company as long as you're under the correct plan.
However, these will no longer be available in the near future.
Honeywell will be discontinuing these pretty soon, since they
are releasing their brand new--
they have already released their brand new Lyric generation
cameras.
So these are going to be Honeywell's new cameras
that they're trying to focus more on.
One of these we actually have here right now.
It's the Lyric C1.
We also have a Lyric outdoor, which is a bullet-style
camera--
I couldn't bring it in here.
It's already installed-- and the Lyric C2.
Now, these are Honeywell's new generation cameras.
The C1 and the C2 are 720p cameras.
The C1 is a 720p.
The C2 is a 1080p.
And then the OC1--
which is the outdoor one-- is also 1080p.
Now, these cameras cannot be viewed directly through a Lyric
controller.
So what you would need to do is have your monitoring company
set up a Total Connect account for you.
And then using the Total Connect account,
you can actually add these cameras
so you can access them to view them
all in the same application that you're able to control
the Lyric controller with.
Unlike the old generation cameras which
actually stream to the Lyric--
so if you go to a Lyric screen, the way
you used to be able to see the old generation cameras
was by going to the primary screen, go to Video.
You would first be taken to the camera list.
It should have the IP, MAC of the IP camera.
If you just highlight it, it will turn green.
You can hit Display, and it'll display
the image of that camera on the Lyric screen.
To back out, just hit the back arrow key.
And you're at the Lyric's primary screen, which
is where the Video button is.
But that is for the old generation cameras, which
is, again, just the WL2, WL.
We have the pan tilt and the outdoor camera.
These were the ones that you can view directly
on the Lyric screen.
But like I said, they're going to be discontinued
very soon, so you will no longer have the option of doing that.
Now, I'm pretty sure since they're always
releasing new firmware updates, hopefully it is in the works
that Honeywell will be releasing some sort of firmware update
that will eventually allow you to stream the Lyric
new generation cameras to the actual Lyric controllers
so that you not only can view them through Total Connect--
but if you're at home and you want
to pull up your security system and go to the video screen,
you can view them through the actual panel itself.
