Qolsys IQ4 NS, Verizon LTE, Interlogix/GE

The Qolsys IQ4 NS (No Screen) has a built-in Verizon communicator and has support for 319.5 MHz wireless. This makes it compatible with wireless sensors by Interlogix/GE and Qolsys. This includes Qolsys' encrypted S-Line sensors. It does not have a screen. This provides an affordable option for users who tend to use the Alarm.com's interactive app (Android or iOS) or the alarm.com website.

The IQ4 NS can be an excellent solution for those without the need for a touchscreen. Even without the screen, it is a beefy home security system and home automation controller. The IQ4 NS has a Verizon LTE and dual-band WIFI Alarm.com communicator. It is driven by a powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 8-core SOM (System on a Module) with 16GB of NAND Flash memory. It has up to 128 wireless zones, 242 users, and up to 137 Z-Wave devices with a Z-Wave Plus (800) controller.

The IQ4 NS reports alarms to Alarm.com. It uses true dual-path technology. If connected to WIFI, the panel will report over both WIFI and Cellular paths simultaneously. Whichever path is successful first, wins. This ensures the fastest reporting possible with each individual signal. Alarm.com immediately forwards the signal to the connected monitoring station, for central station monitored accounts. For this reason, a cellular monitoring plan is required. For Alarm Grid customers, this is a Gold Plan (Full or Self).

The included 319.5 MHz sensor support allows you to use existing Qolsys wireless sensors, this includes S-Line sensors. There are other IQ4 NS options, too. We also have an IQ4 NS with 433 MHz support, an IQ4 NS with 345 MHz support, an IQ4 NS with PowerG support, and an automation-only IQ4 NS with no wireless sensor support. Each of the above options come with a choice of a Verizon or AT&T LTE communicator. Qolsys also released individual daughter cards to support additional sensors. All IQ4 NS alarm panels can accept a max of one (1) legacy RF daughter card in addition to one (1) PowerG daughter card for sensor support. There is a PowerG daughter card, and legacy RF daughter cards in 319.5 MHz, 345 MHz, and 433 MHz versions. For this IQ4 NS, the 319.5 legacy card is included, so you can only add a PowerG card.

The IQ4 NS also features a full Alarm.com integration. Use the app or the customer website to view and control your system, to operate any automation or scenes, and for notifications. Complete functionality can be obtained using the interactive interface. This is the reason many do not feel the need for a screen. Some may just prefer to save money and deal with no screen. Either way, the IQ4 NS can be a popular option for many customers.
