The Honeywell Lyric security system was designed with the end user in mind. While professional installation is always available, sometimes you just need to do things yourself. Installing the Honeywell Lyric control panel is a fairly straight forward and simple process.

The first, and most important step in installing your Lyric Security System is deciding where it should be mounted. There are several factors you should be aware of before you ever place a screw. This video will tell you about all the risks and tips to finding the perfect spot for your control panel.

When designing the layout of your home security system the range of the wireless sensors should be the first thing to consider. The Lyric Security System has an increased range of almost double the previous systems. It will be able to communicate with sensors up to 400 feet away.

Your location should ensure that the furthest sensor will fall well into this range. Because of this, as you learn in the video, the control panel should be as centrally located as possible.

The second most required feature is accessibility. The control panel will have a default 30 second disarm delay. This means that from the time you open your front door you will have 30 seconds to get to the panel and disarm the system.

This might sound easy until the day you come home in a rain storm with arms full of groceries and screaming kids around your feet. You should also consider various entry points. If you come in the front door but your spouse comes in through the garage, the panel should be accessible to both entrances in a timely manner.

Another thing to think about is being able to easily see the screen. With the Lyric security system control panel you will be able to monitor your entire home, but you will also see information such as the time, date and weather.

Having the control panel mounted in a place that is easy to see will add to the functionality of the device.

When mounting you also need to think about what is behind the mounting area. Wall studs can pose problems when running power wires or trying to cut the drywall. Using a stud finder will help ensure your desired spot will work on both sides of the wall.

Where ever you choose to mount, following the tips and guides in the video will ensure that you have a functional and easily accessible control panel where it will best suit your needs.
