Im planning on doing it. Installing a home security system that has door sensors and a motion senor inside my ultilty van that is full of equipment. The system can run on either 120AC or 12VDC (stated as backup battery since installing them in vehicles is never really talked about) anyone have any tips or suggestions? will it run my battery dead? does it pull much power? will it work?

Can I use any control panel for my pre-wired home security system?

My home was originally built with a security system. At some point, the control panel was removed. I contacted the security company and they want $495 for a new panel. Can use any old control panel and make it work? Like a honeywell panel?
