If your security system’s feeling a little outdated—or you’ve been meaning to get one that actually works for you—the Qolsys IQ 4 with PowerG might just be the answer. This isn’t your average alarm panel. It’s a sleek, powerful setup that brings top-notch protection and smart home perks together in one package. Here’s why switching to this system could be the best move you make for your home or business.

What’s So Special About the Qolsys IQ 4?

Picture this: a crisp 7-inch touchscreen that’s as easy on the eyes as it is to use, paired with PowerG wireless tech that’s tough to beat. The IQ 4 isn’t just about keeping intruders out—it’s about giving you control and confidence. With a built-in camera, QuadSound speakers, and a brain that ties everything together, it’s like having a security guard and a smart home assistant rolled into one. And with PowerG? It takes perimeter protection to another level:

• Locked-Down Security: With two-way encryption that’s practically unbreakable, your system stays safe from meddling, whether it’s hackers or signal glitches.
• Long-Lasting Power: These sensors sip battery life instead of guzzling it, so you’re not constantly scrambling for replacements.
• Sound That Packs a Punch: Four speakers mean alerts you can’t miss—and you can even play your favorite tunes through Bluetooth.

Toss in cellular primary connection with Wi-Fi backup, plus the magic of Alarm.com integration, and you’ve got a system that’s as dependable as it is clever. Both paired with an award-winning 5 Diamond Monitoring Company, UCC Monitoring. UCC has one of the FASTEST response times in the industry.

It’s Built for What’s Next

Old systems can feel like relics—spotty connections, no app access, constant headaches. The IQ 4 is ready for today’s challenges and tomorrow’s surprises, with updates that keep it sharp and PowerG tech that’s ahead of the pack.

Works With What You’ve Got

Already have sensors from brands like DSC or Honeywell? The IQ 4 comes in flavors that play nice with them, letting you ease into PowerG without starting from scratch. If you’re hardwired, the PowerG Takeover Module lets you keep existing non-lifesafety sensors.

No Mess, No Fuss

Forget tearing up walls for wires. PowerG gives you hardwired reliability with a wireless setup that’s clean and quick—perfect whether you’re sprucing up an older place or settling into a new one.

Military Grade Encryption

PowerG’s 128-bit AES encryption locks down every signal, making your system virtually unhackable. Rest easy knowing your home or business is shielded from digital threats.

Reach That Goes the Distance

PowerG sensors stretch up to 4,000 feet in open air—four times farther than traditional wireless. From sprawling estates to detached garages, your entire property stays covered.

Smart Home, Smarter Security

Sync up to 137 Z-Wave devices—lights, locks, thermostats, and more—through the IQ 4’s 700-Series Z-Wave Plus V2 controller. Automate your home or business with one tap or voice command via Alarm.com.

Your Life, Your Control—with Alarm.com

The IQ 4 hooks up with Alarm.com, putting you in the driver’s seat no matter where you are. Arm it on your way out with a tap on your phone, peek at the built-in camera while you’re grabbing coffee, or tweak the thermostat from bed. Forgot to lock up? Alarm.com’s got your back with instant alerts and the power to fix it remotely. Add an extra touchscreen with the IQ Remote PowerG, and you’ve got control right where you need it—at home, away, or in multiple rooms.

 

 

Peace of Mind That Feels Real

Alarm.com lets you see who’s there and chat through the app. Pair that with PowerG’s rock-solid sensors, and you’ve got coverage that doesn’t quit—even in those hard-to-reach spots. Oh, and those smart notifications? They’ll ping you the second something’s up, so you’re never left wondering.

Who Needs This in Their Life?

• Anyone With an Aging System: If your current setup’s stuck in the past—think false alarms or no smartphone tie-in—it’s time for a refresh. The IQ 4 makes security feel effortless.
• Big Property Owners: That 4,000-foot range means nothing’s out of reach, from your front porch to the back shed.
• Smart Home Fans: Love gadgets? With Alarm.com, you can sync your lights, locks, thermostat, garage doors, gates and more into one smooth system. Imagine dimming the lights, locking the doors, and setting the alarm—all with one command from your couch or across town.
• Business and Commercial Property Managers: The IQ 4, especially when paired with Alarm.com for Business, streamlines security for commercial spaces. Features like multi-partition support, remote access control, and real-time video analytics help manage employee access, monitor assets, and reduce false alarms, all while scaling to fit small offices or large facilities.
• Busy Professionals or Frequent Travelers: Stay connected to your property no matter where you are. The IQ 4’s dual-path LTE and Wi-Fi connectivity, combined with Alarm.com’s mobile app, lets you monitor, arm, or disarm your system and receive instant alerts on the go.
• Security-Conscious Small Business Owners: For retail shops, restaurants, or startups, the IQ 4 offers UL 1610-certified commercial burglary protection, Bluetooth touchless disarming, and employee verification via disarm photos, ensuring robust security with minimal operational disruption.

Why Alarm.com Takes It Up a Notch

The Alarm.com connection isn’t just a bonus—it’s a game-changer. It’s like having eyes and ears on your place 24/7. You’ll get real-time updates if a door’s opened, a window’s messed with, or even if the kids sneak in late. Plus, it ties your IQ 4 into a whole smart home ecosystem—think unlocking the door for a delivery guy while you’re at work, or setting “away” scenes that make it look like you’re home when you’re not. It’s security that doesn’t just sit there—it works with you.
