I’m planning my purchase and install so I can smoothly transistion from Vivint.
I was inspecting my current Take over and how it connects to my old DSC box.
I attached a couple picks. Does it look like the Vivint tech skipped the old Zone 2?
It’s still connected to the old panel but the wire is yellow not red like the wires going to the take over, but maybe those are just jumper wires the tech used.
I’m hoping to just reuse this as is and not buy a new take over, but want to make sure Im not missing a zone.
Thanks
It does look like that might be a zone which was not used, but we cannot confirm what those wires actually connect to by photos. It may have been a non-functional zone.
Do you have any sensors which aren’t connected to the current alarm panel?
My front and back door share a zone, so that may be one of them. I guess all I can do is test once I start connecting. My take over has a 2008 date on it, I could buy a new one and rewire it all, but not sure if the technology is any better on the newer ones.
Update: I found an old panel with zones 1-6 written, Zone 2 is Motion which I don’t use do to large dogs.
Thanks for your help.

Thank you for the follow up and confirmation!
The TAKE-345 has not really been updated, there wouldn’t be a reason to switch it out unless yours has a problem.
