Honeywell Tuxedo 6280i Talking Touch Screen Keypad
The Honeywell Tuxedo 6280i Talking Touch Screen Keypad is just another great product from Honeywell Security. The future of security begins here inside the TUXEDO!!
The TUXEDO touch screen keypad can not only control your Vista series alarm system, but it can do a number of other cool things. The screen features a 16 million color display and has graphic icons that will let you integrate with Honeywell’s Total Connect monitoring service. You can also leave messages for family and friends via the built-in microphone, load video and pictures for slideshows.
The keypad has a built in Z-Wave controller that you can use to control any of Z-Wave’s full line of home automation products. You can control anything from door locks, lighting, blinds, etc. That way you can, if you have IP cameras and a Z-Wave door lock, look at your TUXEDO and see who’s at the front door and unlock it for them right at your keypad!
As I mentioned in the above paragraph you can also use the Honeywell TUXEDO touch screen keypad to view up to 16 IP cameras that are connected on the same network as the TUXEDO. You can do single view or view four at a time. You don’t have to use just Honeywell IP cameras either. The 6280i will let you view some IP cameras on your network. You can find a list of compatible IP cameras HERE.
The keypad has an ethernet port on the back that you plug a LAN cable into and connect to your router. You can pull the local IP address of the TUXEDO up in any browser on any computer in the local network. Not only can you view the system on your local network, but with knowledge of port-forwarding you can also remotely view your keypad from another location besides your home.
I love this keypad and would recommend it to anyone wanting to take their Honeywell alarm system to the next level.

What kind of information did you need to know about the TUXEDO?
Your article says TUXEDO 6281i will allow any IP camera to be connected, not just Honeywell cameras. I just installed this system with all the bells and whistles, and have tried 4 different IP cameras, none of which will work, EXCEPT for the honeywell IPCAM.
Will/can you tell me either how to make cameras other than honeywell work on this system, or, what brands you know will work (other than honeywell). Thanks
I apologize for this. We were misinformed by our Honeywell rep. SOME non-Honeywell IP cameras will work with the TUXEDO keypad. I am inserting a link in this reply that lists the manufacturers and models.
Here is the link to the compatible cameras:

Do you need an Aux Power Supply for the Honeywell Tuxedo 6280i Talking Touch Screen Keypad?
Depending on the amount of touch screen keypads and the amount of powered wired devices you could possibly need additional power for the 6280i TUXEDO. The TUXEDO at max power consumes around 350 mA of power.
Does anyone have any information on setting up the port forwarding. I want to be able to access the keypad away from home. I can access it on my home network fine and I think I have correctly set up the port forwarding in my router but I have no idea how to access it from the Internet. Any help would be great!!!
You can find a wealth of information on port forwarding at this website:
Port Forwarding
Checking if you were able to find anything out for the ports to be fowarded? I have the same thing going on. Need the ports to be forwarded.
The only help we really offer on port-forwarding is in the earlier comments I made on this post. We don’t sell routers so we can’t be of much help troubleshooting or setting a router up. If you will look in the comments above I provided a link to portforward.com and it helps with many brands of routers.
Are Air Sight Cameras compatible with the Honeywell Tuxedo. If so how do I find the RTTP port on these cameras and what settings should I be using.
You can find a list of Non-Honeywell IP cameras at the link below:

Apologies on the router setup. We don’t sell routers, so we would not be able to provide any information on ports and such.
