MyVirtualMontoring and VM101

I have a Vista 20p with a VM101 BAT and have been using MyVirtualMonitoring for years. It appears that MyVirtualMonitoring has completely disappeared from existence. I need a new monitoring company. Can anyone else interface with the VM101 or do I need a different broadband alarm transmitter to work with different monitoring services?

Unless another company bought MyVirtualMonitoring's assets, and is supporting the hardware, you will need to change over.

I've seen a number of people using a similar product from IPdatatel, that may be a fairly straight swap for what you have:

Home - ipDatatel

Otherwise, there's Envisalink, which is fairly popular.

Thanks for the reply MrRonFL.

I now see that MyVirtualMonitoring simply rebranded the ipDataTel ethernet BAT device and sold it as their VM101. It even says ipDataTel on it.

So where can I find monitoring services that support the ipDataTel device?

We've had lots of people come over to us saying MyVirtualMonitoring emailed awhile back that the support of their device was having issues and they would be in touch with a fix and then all of a sudden, the company disappeared. It certainly seems like they went out of business and as MrRonFL said, no one else supports that adapter.

If you have a 20P, you could use the Honeywell/AlarmNet 7847i communicator if you wanted central station and/or Total Connect 2.0 service. Total Connect 2.0 is Honeywell's website/mobile app that allows you to control your 20P remotely and setup text/email alerts.

Ademco Vista Trouble Indicators

Newbie poster. Have Vista 15 about 10 years old, 3 keypads, two motions, all door and windows hard wired. Rapid beeping of the panels occurs randomly about every three months or so displaying "Check - Zone #" for the zone in trouble (so far four different zones). This happens when the alarm is not armed in the middle of the day. After silencing the beeping with Code-Off, the system works fine for months until the next mystery trouble code. Have had techs out to diagnose but all circuits check out OK. New battery, contacts were changed in affected zones but problem still occurs. I suggested the problem might be with the circuit boards in the control panel but tech did not agree yet he could not solve the problem. Thinking of replacing the entire control panel unless someone has experienced this and knows the answer. I think my system is haunted - any help is greatly appreciated!

DSC PC1555 PGM outputs

Hi everyone. I’m new with alarm systems, I’m working with a PC1555 of DSC and rn I’m focused on working on pgm outputs, so I have this question: How does the 21 y 22 options work? They just say “For future use” so I’m not sure how do they work. I put the pgm outputs as 21 while connected to a 120V lamp, which works perfectly with other pgm options, as 06 (ready to arm), 07 (keypad buzzer follower mode) etc. But with 21 and 22 options nothing happened. Any comments will be well received. Have a great day! :)
