Three uniquely powerful security panels for any situation
Since the first IQ Panel in 2010, Qolsys (now part of Johnson Controls) has continually innovated on the security panel to create cutting-edge security and automation experiences for homes and businesses alike. With each iteration, Qolsys has delivered smoother, more reliable security by incorporating feedback from users and dealers.
The IQ Panel 4 Series of panels is the most recent group of IQ Panels from Qolsys. This series consists of three panels: the IQ Panel 4, the IQ4 Hub, and the IQ4 NS. Each panel was designed with accessibility and flexibility in mind to empower users to create the most effective systems for their needs. Each panel contains a powerful 8-core CPU simultaneous Wi-Fi and LTE connections running on the Android operating system to keep security systems online even in the most adverse conditions. The panels also include Z-Wave radios which allow for smart home automation.
There are several key differences between the IQ Panel 4 Series panels to provide the best user experience regardless of budget.
IQ Panel 4
The IQ Panel 4 is the flagship panel in the IQ Panel 4 Series. Boasting a robust feature set along with a beautiful 7-inch touchscreen and 8mp camera, this panel is a great option for customers looking for a stylish panel with top-of-the-line usability, especially in residential homes or small- to medium-size businesses.
The panel’s built-in Dual SRF communication unlocks unmatched flexibility for users looking to build a new system from scratch or those with sensors they’d like to reuse. Through this radio frequency, IQ Panel 4 can connect with security sensors from multiple brands and across varying frequencies. Mix-and-match sensors or buy completely new; it’s up to you.
IQ Panel 4 also comes with Alarm.com integrations to keep users in the know about everything that’s happening around their home. When the system is disarmed, the camera snaps a quick photo then pushes it directly to a smartphone via Alarm.com.
Finally, IQ Panel 4 has four four-watt speakers and Bluetooth music streaming for loud alerts and exciting jam sessions.
IQ4 Hub
IQ4 Hub brings a perfect balance of budget and function to the IQ Panel 4 series. This panel features similar hardware to the IQ Panel 4 while enjoying a much smaller price tag. Its reduced price and focused feature set make IQ4 Hub a perfect choice for residential installations, in-home care, and small businesses.
IQ4 Hub features a striking 7-inch screen for intuitive usability and streamlined device management for its amazing smart home and automation capabilities, and users can stream clear audio alerts and music through the panel’s two one-watt speakers.
Connecting devices to IQ4 Hub is easy with its built-in security frequency. When designing a security system with IQ4 Hub, there are several communication frequencies available to connect devices to the panel; simply choose the most effective frequency for IQ4 Hub to use in your installation.
IQ4 NS
IQ4 NS is our most budget-friendly panel. The panel contains the same hardware as the IQ4 Hub with the screen removed to drive the overall price down.
IQ4 NS shares DNA with IQ Panel 4 and IQ4 Hub to provide users with advanced automation and security features that they control from their phone. Through the Alarm.com app, IQ4 NS users can experience the same impressive user experience as IQ Panel 4 and IQ4 Hub on their smartphone.
With its smaller price tag and powerful features, IQ4 NS is a great option for apartment buildings and residential homes.
