The VISTA Automation Module (herein after referred to as “VAM”) provides Z-Wave
automation features to your VISTA® security system, allowing control of various ZWave devices including cameras, lights, door locks, and thermostats. VAM does not
have a physical keypad interface, but instead is controlled by using a web browser on
a Wi-Fi® enabled computer device that is connected to your home Wi-Fi network.

VAM uses your home Wi-Fi network to communicate with
a Wi-Fi enabled device such as a Smartphone, i-PadTM,
AndroidTM Tablet, Blackberry® or laptop PC. Your
installer connected the VAM to your Wi-Fi router during
installation. However, if you later install a new router, you
will need to reconnect the VAM to the new router. Refer to
Wi-Fi Network Setup in the System Setup section for
details on connecting VAM to a different router.
Control lights, thermostats, door locks, and other Z-Wave
devices automatically and easily add or remove Z-Wave
devices to the system.
Define system actions to automatically start when certain
conditions occur. Supports up to 10 scenes.
View up to four cameras at the same time.
Supports up to 32 cameras.
Control your security system via VAM menus.
Control VAM when away from the premises using a
computer device connected to the Internet.
VAM supports remote services so you can control VAM
using Honeywell’s Total ConnectTM.
Receive email notifications when certain events occur.
Notifications can be sent to up to four email addresses.
Switch from normal view to mobile view depending on the
type of device used with the VAM.
If needed, program various system settings, including time
and date, new router, and remote access log in. Refer to
the System Setup section for details.

PLEASE GO TO THE BOTTOM OF
PAGE 35 FOR FCC / IC AGENCY
STATEMENTS.
The VAM supports automatic software upgrades.
However, an SD memory card must be installed and
left in the VAM to upgrade the software. Your
installer may have installed the SD memory card for
you. See Software Upgrades section later in this
manual for more information about automatic
software upgrades.
If not already installed, insert the memory card
(SD/SDHC Card) as shown.
• 4GB SD card supplied
• Supports up to 16GB SD Card
IMPORTANT: Avoid touching the contacts on the
SD card.
Navigating the VAM Menus
VAM is controlled by using a web browser on a Wi-Fi enabled computer device. Your
installer will have shown you the URL to enter into the browser’s address bar that
opens VAM’s Main menu, and perhaps made a bookmark (favorite) for easy access
later. Navigation begins from the Main menu. Navigate through various sub-menus
by clicking graphical buttons (buttons) to perform a selected function.
From the Main menu you can:
• control your security system
• control/view your cameras
• control home automation such as
lighting, thermostat, and door
locks
• switch from PC view to mobile
view by clicking Switch Theme
button.
• go to advanced setup menus.
NOTE: Depending on the type of computer device being used to access the VAM,
options are selected by either clicking a mouse pointer or touching/tapping the
screen. In this manual, the term “click” is used to indicate this function.

when VAM is booting and solid blue when VAM is ready as
AP mode (acting as an Access Point) or connects to the
internet as STA mode (station mode, device is connected to
the Wi-Fi router).
Normally off. It will blink slowly if there is no
communication with the control panel or if the Z-wave
controller is not responding. Fast blinking indicates Z-wave
