After launching the company in April 2013 at ISC West, Qolsys began delivering the IQ Panel and full line of peripherals to Qolsys Foundation Club members in June, followed by shipping to limited dealers in November.

"The IQ Panel redefines the traditional self-contained number pad into today's all-in-one platform," says Qolsys Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Mike Hackett.  "We're excited to partner with the security industry to deliver next generation technology and innovation, enabling dealers to meet the demands of the broader marketplace."

"Integrating Alarm.com's interactive services with the IQ Panel gives our dealers a highly attractive package," says Nate Natale, Alarm.com's Vice President of Sales.  "We look for the most innovative technologies when partnering so that our dealers can bring the best options to property owners."

The six (6) built-in communications radios with no external antennas include a dedicated cellular connection for life safety signals and home automation commands, and Wi-Fi for seamless software updates delivering the latest features while reducing dealer support and maintenance; Z-Wave for traditional in-home management and device control, and the Alarm.com Image Sensor for affordable visual verification.  The intuitive interface makes it easy to navigate features, including simple touch arming, disarm photos taken from the integrated panel camera, and photo frame.

The IQ Panel and the full line of peripherals are available to dealers in the U.S. via a nationwide network of authorized distributors.
