if you're in the market for a home or a business security system chances are
you're looking at the Qolsys IQ panel 2 and the original Qolsys IQ panel
classic systems today we'll be going in-depth comparing and contrasting these
two systems if you have any questions comments or concerns feel free to leave
them directly below in the comments box as we do respond promptly and if you
already have an existing security system geo arm can take over those systems to
save you time and money the IQ panel 2 boasts the smallest 7 inch touchscreen
display ever created and the leading screen resolution of 1280 by 800 IQ panel
2 has upgraded to an industry best 5 megapixel front mounted camera directly
on the touchscreen this front camera will send clients who have alarm.com
interactive monitoring services activated a text and/or email
notification when the panel is disarmed a Qualcomm Snapdragon quad-core
processor and Android 5 Plus software has been added which helps announce
custom words makes using the menu driven navigation system more user-friendly and
allows for more customization this panel offers a 24-hour backup battery from
factory some of the other panels on our list to allow for 24-hour backup battery
but will set you back about 30 to 40 dollars a whole new line of security
sensors were added called s-line sensors these sensors offer end users encryption
the best wireless signal range nominally at 600 feet and an average battery life
between five to eight years these next features are really what sets
apart the IQ panel - from the others and the one word that comes to mind is
innovation IQ panel 2 is the first security system ever to include a
built-in glass break detector and a motion sensor this saves both time and
money to the end user 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 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 two built-in router will diverge
some of the bandwidth so you don't see any lapse in the connection speeds the
IQ panel - is one of the first panels ever to offer z-wave Plus technology
z-wave Plus improves speed security and range compared to standard z-wave
devices the IQ panel 2 has all of its communicators modules and backup battery
built directly in all of end user needs to do to begin installing and
programming the IQ panel 2 is to plug in the power supply and decide whether they
want a wall or desk mount the actual panel the only downsides to the qolsys iq panel 2 that we can find were one you cannot view IP cameras directly
on the touchscreen 2 qolsys has decreased the decibel level of their
siren from there previous IQ panel the original IQ panel
has some major upside starting with this price it comes in as the second least
expensive system out of all of the competitors this panel was the first
ever to offer from factory a 24-hour backup battery some of the other systems
on our list do have the availability for a 24-hour backup battery but they will
set you back about 30 to 40 dollars the IQ panel was the first panel ever to
have a 3 megapixel front mounted camera put directly on the touchscreen the
front mounted camera works when the system is disarmed it will text and/or
email a notification to a client that has the alarm calm interactive service
activated it was also the first alarm control panel to be able to announce
custom words other security systems will allow you to enter in a custom word but
will not announce them in detail the qolsys iq panel is not only
designed for professional installation but mainly for the DIY home security
market because it has all of the communicators modules and backup battery
built directly in the only downside to the original qual society panel is the
fact that its sensors are not encrypted encryption has become the most
cutting-edge feature when it comes to wireless home security systems make sure
