Qolsys alarm panels · Kansas City.

What Qolsys is known for

Qolsys made the IQ Panel, a touchscreen security panel that also runs home automation devices. The line is now sold on a site that calls it simply IQ. The families listed there today:

• Qolsys IQ panels. IQ Panel 5 and IQ Panel 4 touchscreens, with IQ5 Hub, IQ4 Hub, IQ5 NS, IQ4 NS, IQ Pro and IQ Hub models for installs without a screen on the wall.
• PowerG sensors. PowerG and PowerG+ wireless sensors and devices, including a PowerG+ water tile meant to catch leaks early, plus S-Line, MX and Z-Wave devices.
• Keypads and expanders. PowerG and S-Line keypads, remotes and expansion modules, and a zone expander for the IQ Pro.
• Accessories. Stands, power supplies, batteries and mounting parts for the panels.

Where we use Qolsys

A Qolsys IQ Panel suits a house that wants a touchscreen at the door, wireless sensors in a finished house, and lights or locks tied to arming. It belongs to our alarm installation service. In a house with a wired DSC or Resideo panel, keeping the wired panel is sometimes the better call, and we say so.

Taking over a Qolsys system already on the wall

Many houses in the metro come with a panel the new owner did not choose and a monitoring account nobody can find. That is a security system takeover, and it is often cheaper than starting again. With a Qolsys panel the screen and sensors usually work; the job is the lock the old company put on the account, the codes and the monitoring.

• Inventory. We list every sensor, keypad, siren and communicator, test each one, and note which are wired and which are wireless.
• Codes and access. We work out with you how to reach the installer and master codes. Some panels need a reset to defaults, and we say so before touching anything.
• Monitoring. We move the account to monitoring you control, with the communicator and app the panel supports.
• Reuse or replace. We tell you which sensors are worth keeping and which have reached the end of their life, in writing.

What Qolsys pairs with

Cameras on a separate recorder such as UniFi Protect from Ubiquiti. Monitoring on a service the panel supports, such as Alarm.com where that applies. In a house on Control4 or Crestron, arming and status on the same keypads as the lights, through the integration the panel supports.

How we supply and install Qolsys

We start with the no-cost on-site assessment, then a written proposal listing the panel, every sensor and the monitoring. We order to the plan, mount the panel, enroll and name every sensor, test each zone with the monitoring station, and show you the panel and the app. Call (913) 804-7575.
