Offering equipment online, we receive many questions on the differences between devices. The HS2TCHPN keypad for the DSC NEO system prompts a lot of questions from potential buyers. This video showcases the main differences between the touchscreen and regular LCD keypads. Most of the changes encompass normal use scenarios, offering a much more user-friendly experience as well as a more appealing keypad. The HS2TCHPN also allows screensavers in the form of photos uploaded to the touchscreen using the SD card slot on the bottom of the device. Programming-wise the touchscreen does not offer much benefit as you essentially bring up a regular number keypad interface to do system programming. The touchscreen can however label different aspects of the alarm system using an actual keyboard interface, which is much nicer than its LCD counterparts.
Under no circumstances would the HS2TCHPN be considered a cheap keypad, but the additional functionality and usability do make it worth it if those features matter to you.
