 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 two-way military grade encryption, up to 8-year battery life, and with the IQ Panel 2 Plus, the second best wireless range of 2,400 feet without a repeater and 4,800 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. The alarm.com compatible DSCiOtega. The DSCiOtega is the first and least expensive all-in-one system to work directly with industry best, military grade, two-way encrypted Power G devices. iOtega with Power G offers end users battery life up to eight years, the best wireless range at 2,500 feet without a repeater, and 5,000 feet with a repeater. Click the show more tab to learn more about why the Power G devices are industry best. Look for the onboard keypad that will allow for direct arming or disarming of the security system. Built directly into the iOtega is a 24-hour backup battery that will power the onboard cellular communicator in the event the main power is cut. End users can split their on-site locations into two separate partitions by using a secondary touchscreen or an inexpensive secondary keypad. Once this has been accomplished, end users will also be able to remotely control both partitions using the alarm.com app. In the event a customer needs to insert a new alarm.com cellular module, iOtega will allow for interchangeable cellular communicators. iOtega offers customers the one-go-all-go features for smoke and heat devices since it uses Power G technology. iOtega can also be set up to use Z-Wave Plus devices, 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 or disarm, toggle lights on or off, set thermostat temperature and lock or unlock a door simultaneously. DSC has worked very hard to allow for several key integrations such as Google Nest thermostats, Ratchio sprinkler controllers, select Lutron lights, Liftmaster garage doors, Apple Home Kit, Amazon Alexa, and Google Home Voice controllers. The only downsides we could find about the alarm.com compatible iOtega systems were, this system has to be connected to Wi-Fi during the initial setup, end users can't program the system locally, everything must be programmed remotely by the dealer, no August door lock integration, there's only a Verizon LTE cellular option, no AT&T card at this time, end users can't use existing hardwired sensors as there's no module to do so, no compatible alarm.com image sensor, you can't bypass sensors remotely with the alarm.com app, please comment below if you have any questions we are here to help.
