SSI’s BENCH TEST

could stand to be kicked up a notch,

and vertical off-axis viewing wasn’t

great from above. If you have to mount

this panel for people of varying height

to operate, mount it higher rather than

lower as smaller icons can disappear

when viewed from above.

Features

As we alluded to earlier, this is the Swiss

Army Knife of alarm panels. It includes

all of the features that you would ex-

pect from a residential or small busi-

ness alarm panel, including supervised

wired and wireless contacts, a variety

of sensors, and integration with a wide

variety of other devices. Coupled with

the mobile/Web interface and advanced

programming features oered by the

Alarm.com Web site, applications are

limited only by your imagination. If you are inside for the night

and lock the front door manually, the system can lock the back

door, arm itself in “stay” mode, turn on a nightlight, and lower

the thermostat, all automatically. A water leak in your utility

room can shut o the water, sound an alarm, alert you via SMS

and E-mail, turn the light on in the utility room, and send you

a picture to allow you to assess the damage. You can then open

the front door remotely to let the plumber in if he gets there

before you do. He can’t nd your house? Flash the front porch

light from your phone.

ere are also a lot of intuitive features in the panel itself. A

centrally located icon gives you an up-to-date extended weath-

er forecast with the push of a button. ere’s a button that

shuts o the touchscreen for 30 seconds, allowing you to clean

it without driving the system crazy. When setting the alarm to

“away” mode, the 60-second countdown timer is visible on the

screen and a robotic female voice counts down the last 10 sec-

onds. at same robotic voice also says the names of the vari-

ous zones, even if you custom name them. It did very well with

things like, “Window by Terri’s desk open,” but try as I might I

could not get it to correctly pronounce, “Idiot dog.”

I particularly liked the camera built into the bezel, which

can be congured to take a picture of the person disarming

the panel, whether a valid code is entered or not. If your teen-

age daughter is giving the alarm passcode to her friends, you’ll

know it by simply

pressing the Camera

button on the home

screen and selecting

the “Disarm Photos”

log. ere’s also a log

of alarm photos that

can come from the camera or other sensors, and every image

is annotated with the time, date and the name of the event that

caused it.

e process for software updates is impressive as well. e

unit can be updated manually, automatically or at the initia-

tion of the installing dealer. During the test period, I success-

fully updated my panel twice via Wi-Fi, although I could have

used the SD card as well. One update changed the graphical

user interface completely, providing a more modern look and

incorporating a number of enhancements.

Setup

Physical installation of the IQ Panel is simple and straightfor-

ward, with plenty of installer-friendly features. e back plate

can be mounted on a wall and there’s an integrated hanging

strap that secures the panel during installation. A terminal

on the back provides connection for two separate supervised

alarm loops (normally open contacts), a DC power supply and

a hardware piezo siren. If multiple sirens are needed, or the si-

ren you want to use requires more than 120mA, a relay can be

used to drive external devices. Beyond that all other connec-

tions are wireless.

As far as connecting devices, you need to know your way

around both the panel and the technology involved. I rst at-

tempted to set up the panel using only on-screen help and the

Quick Guides provided, and had some success. e panel has

an “auto learn” feature that will allow it to nd some sensors on

its own, and tweaking the settings is fairly intuitive to a point.

And I suppose if you’re looking for a plain vanilla setup that

may be sucient. But if you want to use advanced features

or really customize the programming, you’re going to have to

crack the manual, watch some videos (there are plenty of them

The IQ Panel’s touchscreen interface allows for more exibility than a traditional alarm

keypad, including one-touch bypassing of devices, muting the exit sound, and turning off

the entry delay.
