The IQ Panel 2 Plus ships with Qolsys’ 2.2 software, which includes a host of new features like the ability to view Alarm.com video cameras on the screen.

SAN JOSE — Qolsys, a provider of security and smart home technology, reveals the new IQ Panel 2 Plus will be available Wednesday, Aug. 29.

The IQ Panel 2 Plus supports Dual SRF featuring PowerG’s range, remote programming and encryption with a radio compatible with Qolsys S-Line encrypted sensors and other legacy sensors that utilize the 319.5 MHz protocol.

“PowerG takes range off the table while bringing a powerful commercial technology to the residential market including two-way communication, remote access, and banking level frequency hopping encryption,” says Mike Hackett, senior vice president of sales and marketing at Qolsys. “Dual SRF allows dealers to deploy PowerG while still providing support for the legacy devices currently installed inside the home, eliminating replacement costs associated with wireless translators and life safety devices. Dual SRF delivers the most comprehensive sensor portfolio bridging the past with the future of security.”

The IQ Panel 2 Plus ships with Qolsys’ 2.2 software, including several new features like Install Wizard, Live View, the ability to view Alarm.com video cameras on the screen and Live Answer, giving end users the ability to answer their SkyBell Video Doorbell from the IQ Panel’s 7” HD interface inside the home.

Live Answer will also work with Live View cameras that have voice capability, such as the Alarm.com 522 indoor camera, according to the company.

“Live View and Live Answer are exciting new features,” says Anne Ferguson, vice president of marketing at Alarm.com. “Alarm.com fully integrates the doorbell camera with the security system and other connected devices to give our service provider partners a unique solution to bring to their customers. Seeing who is at the door from the IQ Panel, in addition to viewing and responding through the Alarm.com app, adds yet another engaging capability to the solution.”

The Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Plus includes all the features of the IQ Panel 2 — 7” HD touchscreen, modern form factor and user experience, 5MP panel camera, Bluetooth touchless disarming, LTE and WiFi dual path communication, built-in glassbreak sensor, security and Z-Wave diagnostic tools.
