The Honeywell VISTA-20PSIA is an alarm control panel that is functionally similar to the VISTA-20P, but has special programming that makes it compliant with the Security Industry Associations (SIA) CP-01 standards. Alarm control panels that are compliant with SIA CP-01 standards are designed to reduce false alarms. A false alarm is any alarm that was triggered by a non-emergency event. Unfortunately, due to many alarm companies not properly educating their customers, nearly all alarms received by central stations are false alarms. Therefore, police departments are constantly sending officers out to these false alarms and countless hours are being wasted. Police departments are starting to view the alarm industry as more of a problem than a solution. Towns, cities and states have even begun to pass new ordinances that impose expensive fines on the alarm user when the police respond to a false alarm at their property. In some jurisdictions, the police wont even show up to investigate an alarm unless the alarm user has a CP-01 compliant security system.
