if you're looking for a new home security system chances are you're
looking at the honeywell lyric controller and the Qolsys IQ panel
classic system today we'll be going in-depth comparing and contrasting these
two systems please if you have any questions comments or concerns feel free
to leave them directly below in the comments box where we respond promptly
also keep in mind we can take over your existing alarm systems to save customers
time and money the lyric controller which serves as the main control hub for
the security system still has a seven inch touchscreen display but has
upgraded from the previous l7000 with a new screen resolution of 1024 by 600
end-users if they wish pets that voice commands to verbally
communicate to the lyric controller to start or stop securities or home
automation function no other system has this capability on our list flexible
monitoring features such as Wi-Fi only cellular only or dual path communication
this gives the end-users the choice to whether they want to sacrifice
reliability or lower cost alarm monitoring rates lyric has added a two
megapixel front mounted camera so that when the system is disarmed it can text
or email a notification to end-users with the Wi-Fi communicator activated
and Total Connect 2.0 services with the lyric controller you can view up to
eight cameras with its dual quad screen capabilities which is unmatched the
lyric controller has added a new line of wireless encrypted sensors called six
sensors the two major benefits of 6 technology is the encryption of all of
its devices and lastly the new six smoke offers the
one go algo feature one go although means anytime one six smoke is triggered
all of your other connected six smoke detectors will sound out of all the
wireless systems Geor offers the lyric controller is the only system able to
perform this task installation of the lyric controller scores great remarks
because all the end-user has to do is slide the cellular communicator into
place install the backup battery and decide whether they want to wall mount
or desk mount the control panel Yuli downside to the honeywell lyric
security systems that we can find was the six series sensors are a little bit
bulky and there's no option for an external hard wired siren like there has
been in the past the original Qolsys IQ panel has some major
upside starting with this price it comes in as the second least expensive system
out of all of the contenders 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
thirty to forty 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'll 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 cual society 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 wall 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
