 The Qolsys IQ Panel 2, Wireless Encrypted Security and Automation System. The IQ Panel 2 still has the smallest 7 inch touchscreen ever created with industry leading screen resolution of 1280 by 800. Inside the main control panel lives a Qualcomm Snapdragon quad core processor with Android 5 Plus software which allows the system to announce custom words and makes DIY programming a breeze. The IQ Panel 2 offers both AT&T and Verizon LTE cellular communicator options. Choose which provider gives you better reception in your area. Amazing new features have been added such as the ability to view compatible Alarm.com cameras on the touchscreen and have two-way audio dialogue with compatible Alarm.com IP cameras. Click the Show More tab for a list of compatible cameras. Qolsys has accomplished the unthinkable again by allowing the IQ Panel 2 to be split up into four partitions. Three additional partitions will require a secondary touchscreen to function. These partitions can also be controlled while using the Alarm.com app. The main control panel has a 5 megapixel front-mounted camera that can text end users who have the Alarm.com interactive services activated anytime the system is disarmed during alarm events or with the new Pekin feature. This panel contains a 24-hour backup battery from Factory which can power the alarm system and internal cellular communicator in the event an intruder cuts power to your location. The original IQ Panel 2 still uses the robust S-line sensors which host 128-bit one-way encryption back to the main control panel, 600-foot nominal wireless range, and battery life between five and eight years. If you have existing hardwired security devices you wish to reutilize with the IQ Panel 2, it is possible when you take advantage of the encrypted hardwired to wireless converter. A built-in Bluetooth LTE 4.0 module has been installed directly to the panel. This allows for end users to pair up to five smart devices so when they come within 30 to 40 feet of the panel, it will automatically disarm the system without touching anything. IQ Panel 2 is the first security system ever to include a built-in glass break detector. This saves both time and a built-in router. If a client has a bunch of other devices such as video games or other streaming devices on the Wi-Fi network, the IQ Panel 2 built-in router will divert some of the bandwidth so you don't see any laps in the connection speeds. IQ Panel 2 can also be set up to use Z-Wave Plus devices so you can create a smart home wireless mesh network. With these Z-Wave Plus or Z-Wave devices, end users can remotely control lights, locks, and thermostats directly from the Alarm.com app from anywhere in the world. Include these devices into scenes so that at the touch of one button in the app or verbal control using Amazon Alexa, end users can automatically run scenes that can arm and disarm, toggle lights on or off, set thermostat temperature, and lock or unlock a door simultaneously. Qolsys in conjunction with Alarm.com services have worked really hard to allow for integrations to common third parties such as Google Nest thermostats, Rachio sprinkler controls, Chamberlain garage doors, select Lutron lights, Amazon Alexa, and Google Home. The only downsides to the Qolsys IQ Panel 2 we could find were, at this time customers can't add the power G card separately. There is no option for an S-Line wireless repeater to extend range. IQ Panel 2 doesn't have an interchangeable cellular radio option. IQ Panel 2 can't integrate with Apple Home Kit due to no MSI chip. The QW9103-840 secondary keypad is a bit pricey. No one go all go feature with the S-Line smoke sensors. No August door lock integration at this time. Please comment below if you have any questions we are here to help. The Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Plus wireless security and automation system. The Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Plus offers all of the same features and monitoring rates as the original IQ Panel 2 system we reviewed earlier, but in addition it contains an onboard power G transceiver. This unlocks all the advantages power G brings to the table such as 2-way military grade encryption, up to 8-year battery life, and with the IQ Panel 2 Plus the second best wireless range of 2400 feet without a repeater and 4800 feet with a repeater. Also the IQ Panel 2 Plus has several different models that will allow end users to use their existing 2GIG, Honeywell, Interlogix, and DSC wireless sensors to save money. Click the show more tab below for more information on specific product numbers. In addition when non power G sensors are utilized they will not enjoy the features of power G. When an end user uses power G smoke detectors they will be able to enjoy the one go all go feature. Lastly since the IQ Panel 2 Plus uses power G technology, end users can add a much less expensive secondary keypad if they choose the WS9 LCD WF9. The only downsides to the Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Plus we could find were the IQ Panel 2 Plus isn't able to use alarm.com image sensors because the power G module is hosted in the same slot. The IQ Panel 2 doesn't offer any interchangeable cellular communicator options. You can't bypass sensors remotely from the alarm.com app. Make sure to subscribe to our YouTube page and click the show more tab underneath the video where you can view valuable links pertaining to this product, similar how-to videos, and our low-cost no-contract alarm monitoring services.
