Just to preempt the answers that I would give:

* Looks like a circuit board
* Could be an alarm

The eagle eyed amongst you may have noticed the sticker reading G2-44, which suggests it's a Galaxy G2-44. Indeed, though it isn't shown, the front cover also shows G2-44. However, looking at the manual, the circuit layout looks nothing like a G2-44 but does bear a striking similarity to a G2-20. So, the question is: which is it?

It is an ADT G2-44 firmware version 1.41. The manual shows the PCB for the G2-44+ which is why it looks different. The G2-12, G2-20 and G2-44 all have the same layout PCB.

The panel is 6 years old. The latest G2 firmware is now 1.55

Still a brilliant panel though!

So there's a difference between the G2-44 and G2-44+? Genius!

Just out of curiosity, how does one tell the difference between a G2-12, 20 & 44 PCB?

 

[socdesign]

The 44+ supports the old ecp bus and the g2 gsm modem which is no longer made.

The only way to tell the difference between the non '+' models is by the label or by powering on and displaying system details.

There's still a lot of life in the g2 series yet. You can add low cost ethernet and control via phone apps. You can add wireless. You can self monitor with IP comms.

Thanks very much.
