IQ Panel 2 vs IQ Panel 2 Plus Alarm Systems

In this video, Jorge from Alarm Grid talks about the differences between the Qolsys IQ Panel 2 and the Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Plus Systems. The only real difference between these systems is the sensors that they support. For all other intents and purposes, these are really the exact same security panels.

Sensors represent some of the most important accessories for security systems. These are the devices that detect when certain actions and activities occur. This could include something like a door or a window being opened or someone walking into a room. In more recent years, wireless sensors have become the new norm for security systems. In order for a wireless sensor to work with a security system, it needs to communicate at a wireless frequency that is compatible with the system.

The original IQ Panel 2 supports 319.5 MHz Sensors. This is the only wireless frequency supported by the system. Qolsys also manufacturers a special type of 319.5 MHz sensors called S-Line Sensors. These sensors will use a rolling code encryption when paired with the IQ Panel 2 or 319.5 MHz IQ Panel 2 Plus. This provides extra security for the sensor to prevent hacking and takeover attempts.

The newer Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Plus supports 915 MHz DSC PowerG Sensors. These sensors offer a wireless range of 2,000 feet from the IQ Panel 2 Plus, and they utilize military grade 128-bit AES encryption. These are some of the most highly regarded sensors in the security industry today. In addition to PowerG support, an IQ Panel 2 Plus can also support one of three (3) legacy wireless frequencies. These are 319.5 MHz (Qolsys, Interlogix), 345 MHz (Honeywell, 2GIG), and 433 MHz (DSC).

Please note that all compatible wireless sensors can be auto-enrolled with a Qolsys IQ Panel 2 or Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Plus.
