The Qolsys IQ Panel 4: Instant Arming

In this video, John from Alarm Grid shows the user how to arm in Instant Mode from the Qolsys IQ Panel 4. Arming in Instant Mode does not mean that the panel is armed as soon as you press the arming button. Instead, it means that once you press the arming button and the exit delay period has expired, all active zones become instant alarm zones. Basically, it means that the entry delay period has been disabled for this particular armed period.

With the Qolsys IQ Panel 4, you can choose to disable the Entry Delay for either Stay or Away arming. Usually, this is done when arming in the Stay mode at night when a home's occupants are no longer planning to leave or enter the home. If an intruder attempts to enter during the night, they will not be given any entry delay period, but instead, an alarm will be instant. Arming Away with no entry delay is an option when a family is leaving on vacation, for example, and there are no plans for anyone to enter the home while they are away. Of course, this would mean they will need some way to disarm the system themselves once they get back home, prior to entering. Alarm.com remote services are perfect for this. Another option would be to disarm using a key fob while still outside.

To use the Instant option simply press the Disarmed icon from the security screen on the IQ Panel 4. Press the right arrow icon on the arming screen. The full arming screen will then be displayed. In the lower right, click the button that says "Entry Delay ON". This will toggle the option to "Entry Delay OFF". Then choose either Stay or Away arming. The system will still provide a normal Exit Delay (unless you also choose the "Exit Sounder OFF" option, as this will silence the exit sounder, but will also double the amount of exit delay time). Once the system is armed, any active zone will be treated as though it were programmed as a perimeter sensor and will provide an instant alarm when faulted.
