Easily install hardwire or wireless systems with IQ Pro

IQ Pro changes the game when it comes to connectivity thanks to its revolutionary hybrid system. By combining the wireless functionality of IQ Panel 4 and hardwire abilities of the DSC PowerSeries Neo, IQ Pro enables users to choose the way their devices communicate with the panel.

For wireless connections, IQ Pro comes with PowerG built into the panel to give customers the industry’s best range, reliability, and encryption on their devices. PowerG-enabled peripherals can be added effortlessly to the system and take advantage of range over one mile, frequency hopping, and 2-way communication for adaptive power management to lengthen device life and ensure each aspect of the system is running at its best performance. With optional SRF cards, legacy wireless devices can be seamlessly integrated into the panel as well.

Those who opt for a hardwired system are in luck, too, as IQ Pro’s shared DNA with DSC PowerSeries Neo allows installers to apply the hardwire schema of their choice depending on the best option for each project. IQ Pro’s internal boards will feel familiar to anyone who has installed a hardwired system using a DSC PowerSeries Neo, no matter if they’re installing a traditional or addressable loop schema.

However, revolutionary doesn’t just mean an industry-first hybrid panel; it means quality, industry-leading options and accessibility embedded into the panel for quick set-up and total system control. IQ Pro provides flexible connection choice for customers and installers, and the streamlined set-up and maintenance of a user’s devices won’t require installers to spend valuable time learning how to get the system functioning.

And the simplicity doesn’t end there. No matter the connection, setting up IQ Pro is easier than ever thanks to the new IQ Installer, available for Android and iOS devices. With its easy-to-use, step-by-step installation method, integrators can easily access IQ Pro on a mobile device via Wi-Fi to program the panel rather than having to complete installation on the panel itself. IQ Installer empowers technicians to freely move around their installs without being worried about dropping connections to the panel.

Every install is unique, and IQ Pro provides adaptable, accessible options to help customers make the right decision for their business every single time. With IQ Pro, anyone can be a pro.

Secure your business everywhere with zones and partitions

Businesses typically aren’t run out of one easily monitored room where everything takes place.
Monitoring several areas or buildings for your business requires flexible options to organize and manage your company’s security systems.

With IQ Pro’s partitioning and zone options, users can coordinate their systems in one place and gather actionable data about important facets of their business. Zones and partitions help keep costs low by maintaining a single security system across many areas. Rather than requiring separate installs for different areas or buildings of a property, these options mean businesses can utilize one system for every space that needs to be secured.

What are partitions?
Partitions are areas of a security system that function separately from other areas. If a property has buildings or rooms set away from its main space, partitions help to secure those areas on one system. This is great for places like secured server rooms, pool houses, garages, inventory rooms, or any separate area that needs to be secure.

What are zones?
A zone is an area or areas that are monitored by at least one intrusion detection device. A zone can be as simple as a single glass break detector or as complex as a network of hundreds of sensors. Devices can be hardwired or wireless and can be set to trigger different reactions from the security system.

Using these tools effectively with IQ Pro gives users the ability to effectively manage their security systems in one area. Businesses can also gather more specific data about their users with detailed information about visitor traffic in each area.

To see the power of IQ Pro’s partitioning and zones in action, be sure to check out our video on the Michael P. Murphy SEAL Museum in Long Island, New York.

Intrusion panels have historically required users to research, purchase, and install specific cards onto the panel’s board to enable various communication options on the device. The process of narrowing down the best communication option for a business can easily get overwhelming.

Installing IQ4 NS with IQ Installer Interface

IQ4 NS is a new, screen-free security panel offering a lower cost of entry into the IQ Platform. A perfect option for residential and multifamily installs, IQ4 NS boasts the same powerful security features of IQ Panel – like industry-leading range and reliability with PowerG – in a lower-cost package.

The IQ Panel provides simple, step-by-step installation instructions using the panel’s screen. IQ4 NS’s simplified, screenless design, however, requires a different approach to installation.

Enter the IQ Installer Interface

IQ Installer Interface is an interface that moves the familiar IQ Panel installation onto a mobile device’s screen. With IQ Installer, screenless IQ security panels – like the IQ4 NS or IQ Pro – can be set up on a phone using a process similar to the IQ Panel’s on-screen panel programming.

Those who have previously installed an IQ Panel will feel right at home when setting up IQ4 NS with IQ Installer Interface. IQ Installer Interface uses the same clean user interface and icons in the application as IQ Panel screens, meaning that things like the installation wizard and panel settings are easily navigable by new users and familiar to experienced installers.

IQ Installer Interface comes with improvements to the user experience as well, including a global search function which enables installers to quickly locate options, set up new devices, and save time digging through menus when trying to find one single setting.

IQ Installer unlocks the full potential of IQ4 NS by providing a way for installers to utilize the same streamlined setup process on their phone screen as they would on an IQ Panel.

IQ Installer Interface is available for download on the App Store or Google Play. To learn more about the IQ4 NS, visit the product page.
