The panel also includes a Z-Wave 800 Series module with Long Range support for better smart device coverage with fewer range extenders. Bluetooth 5.0 + LE enables features like Bluetooth touchless disarming. The integrated 13 MP PortraitView camera captures wide-angle photos for disarm notifications. Dual MEMS microphones and dual 4W speakers with an 85 dB piezo siren allow clear local alerts and announcements. The panel also includes a 24-hour lithium polymer backup battery so it can continue operating during power loss.
The IQ5 platform also supports optional RF daughter cards, allowing the panel to communicate with additional wireless sensor frequencies when needed. These plug-in cards are especially useful for system takeovers or upgrades where existing sensors need to be reused. It comes with PowerG+ embedded, but other available options include the QC0001-840 (319.5 MHz IQ Card), QC0004-840 (433 MHz IQ Card), and the QC0005-840 (345 MHz IQ Card). The family of IQ5 Panels also support the Qolsys QC000B-840 aka IQ Card Ethernet for a hardwired internet option and the QC000E-840 add-on Zigbee card to support Zigbee devices. By installing the appropriate daughter card, the IQ Panel 5 can support legacy sensors alongside its built-in radios, giving installers more flexibility while keeping the system modern and scalable.
The panel has two (2) slots for daughter cards. Slot one is for legacy RF daughtercards. Only one (1) legacy card is supported per panel. Slot two or the middle slot is the expansion slot. It is used for either an ethernet daughter card or a Zigbee daughter card.
Installation is made easier with the SmartMount wall mount system. The unit supports up to four partitions and 242 user codes, giving installers flexibility for both residential and small commercial setups. Overall, the IQP5017 combines industry-leading RF, modern processor performance, and comprehensive smart home integration into one future-ready panel.
