In the world of home security and Burglar Alarms, the days of “just a buzzing box on the wall” are long gone. At B26 Alarms, we pride ourselves on staying ahead of the curve, which is why we are proud to install the Qolsys IQ Home Hub.
If you are looking for a Burglar alarm that blends “military-grade” security with the convenience of a modern smartphone, Qolsys is the answer. Here are five reasons why this system is the gold standard for homeowners in Birmingham and the West Midlands.
1. It’s a Security Hub and a Smart Home Brain
The Qolsys IQ Home Hub isn’t just an alarm; it’s a high-definition 7-inch touchscreen that acts as the “brain” of your home.
- Security: Control your sensors and sirens.
- Automation: Integrated with Z-Wave technology, you can control your lights, locks, and even your thermostat directly from the panel or your phone.
- Style: When not in use, it acts as a digital photo frame, blending seamlessly into your home décor.
2. “PowerG” Technology: Unbeatable Range & Reliability
One of the biggest concerns with wireless alarms is signal interference or range. Qolsys uses PowerG technology, which offers four times the range of traditional wireless systems.+1
- Encrypted: It uses 128-bit AES encryption (bank-level security) to prevent hacking.
- Deep Reach: It can easily penetrate thick brick walls, making it perfect for larger Victorian homes or properties with detached garages and outbuildings.
3. Built-in 8MP Camera for Visual Verification on the IQ 4
Ever wonder who disarmed your alarm? The IQ Panel 4 features a built-in 8-megapixel camera. Every time the system is disarmed, it takes a “disarm photo” and sends it straight to your smartphone. In the event of an actual alarm, the panel can record video, providing you with instant visual evidence of what is happening inside your home.+2
4. Dual-Path Connectivity (Wi-Fi + 4G LTE)
Traditional alarms rely on a single phone line or Wi-Fi connection. If your internet goes down, your protection might too. The Qolsys system uses Dual-Path connectivity. It uses your home Wi-Fi for speed but has a built-in 4G LTE SIM card as a backup. This ensures that even if a burglar cuts your phone line or your internet router fails, your alarm will still send an alert to your phone.
5. Bluetooth Touchless Disarming
Imagine walking up to your front door with your hands full of shopping. The Qolsys system can detect your encrypted smartphone via Bluetooth and automatically disarm the alarm as you arrive. No more rushing to the panel to type in a code before the siren goes off!
