AlarmSystemStore.com BBB Business Review

Can you self-monitor the IQ Panel 4?

Yes! One great feature of the Qolsys alarm systems as a whole is that they work with Alarm.com's interactive services for a monthly or annual fee. Alarm.com, through a dealer like ourselves can be used standalone without Central Station monitoring, saving you money and giving you complete control over how your security is handled. This means you will have an app that you can use to: control the alarm system, get notifications about events and sensors, as well as adjust user codes remotely. At higher Alarm.com Interactive plan levels, you can also use a wide array of automation devices, which can also be managed through the Alarm.com app.

Each IQ Panel 4 system includes a built-in dual-path cell and Wifi communicator, which is where the majority of the service cost comes from. In the US, you can select from either an AT&T or Verizon communicator so that you ensure you have a proper signal. There is no cost difference between selecting AT&T or Verizon, and you do not have to manage a cellular plan through either provider since Alarm.com handles it for you. When selecting your IQ Panel, just select whichever of the 2 providers offers the best cell coverage in your area!
