The Honeywell Ademco V20P is a tremendous (although complex) system that should rigorously satisfy requirements ranging from basic home security to business burglary protection.
The programming takes a bit to learn, however, once you do, this system can do nearly anything that is needed. The level of customization is almost endless - your system can truly be personalized to tell you EXACTLY what is going on in your home.
From a design point, it appears that the more zones you can add (buy expansion modules) the finer level of detail you can report.
You can design your system to identify all doors separately by easily understood names (Front Door, Back Patio Door, Garage Entry Door, Family Room Door etc.) which means a separate zone for each door.
You can then grouped all the opening windows in a given room into it’s their own zones - again with names that everyone in the house understands.
The system has the ability to detail exactly which room in your home has been compromised.
The keyfob activation/deactivation is a bit tricky at first, however, once you understand the programming basics they work very well - you need the RF receiver expansion module to use the keyfobs.
This panel can also interface with X10 module for lighting and appliance control for some home automation.
For the do-it-yourselfer this system takes some serious study of the manuals to set up
