Main panel (address 16) is a standard 6160 in the Master Bedroom. Added a 6150RF downstairs a few years ago to support a wireless motion and two door sensors. 6150RF went wonky about a year ago, display essentially non-functional though still seems to be able communicate with the wireless sensors or at least display faults on the main 6160 upstairs.

Purchased a 6160RF to replace the 6150RF with in the same location downstairs, and wondering if its a straight plug and play or what else needs to be done. Going to keep the main 6160 upstairs for programming, but ultimately put it next to the panel in the master closet and add a Tuxedo WiFi in it's place and another Tuxedo at the front door (no current keypad, but a wire run in the wall) and run both of those off a secondary power supply.

Thanks for insights and advice, appreciate the inputs.

I live on property and I need an camera for my front gate. I don’t have power at the except a solar powered batteries for the ghost gate opener.

The two houses are 400-500 ft from the gate and would like not to have to buy a subscription for service. Anything yall recommend?

Hey all, I just replaced four outdated QSEE coax camera DVRs with Annke Vision, two of them have eight cameras, and two of them have four. On the old Qsee desktop app, I could have all 24 video streams open simultaneously with only about 3% CPU utilization on my desktop, with the new Annke Vision app with the same 24 streams open it utilizes 100% CPU, does anyone know what could possibly have changed that I could adjust to lower the resource usage?
