Adding an External Keypad to a Qolsys IQ Panel 2

In this video, Jarrett from Alarm Grid shows you hot to add an external keypad to a Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Security System. Adding an extra keypad will allow you to control the system from a new location. Many users add secondary keypads near their back doors or their garage doors for arming and disarming the system as they come and go. Another common option is to place a keypad by the bed for arming stay and triggering panics in the event of an emergency.

For a standard Qolsys IQ Panel 2 System, the only secondary keypad option is the Qolsys IQ Remote. This is a touchscreen keypad with a user interface that mimics that of the IQ Panel 2. The keypad pairs with the system across a WIFI network. It is great for performing any system function, except for advanced programming. You can use the IQ Remote for arming and disarming, controlling smart home automation devices, live-streaming Alarm.com Security Cameras, activating a system panic, and more. Most users prefer the IQ Remote Keypad for its ease-of-use and attractive design. A maximum number of three (3) IQ Remote devices can be paired with a single Qolsys IQ Panel 2 System.

If you have a Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Plus, then you have an additional option besides the IQ Remote. The DSC WS9LCDWF9 is a wireless PowerG Keypad that works with all versions of the Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Plus. Unlike the IQ Remote, which has a touchscreen, the DSC WS9LCDWF9 PowerG Wireless Arming Station is a push-button keypad. It is not as fancy or as technical as the Qolsys IQ Remote, but it is still good for basic arming and disarming. Just keep in mind that the DSC WS9LCDWF9 cannot be used with the original IQ Panel 2, as that system does not support the PowerG wireless protocol.
