Adding a Qolsys Image Sensor to the Qolsys IQ Panel 2

In this video, Joe goes through the process of adding a Qolsys Image Sensor to a Qolsys IQ Panel 2 System. The Qolsys Image Sensor is essentially a motion detection sensor with a built-in camera. The sensor will take a picture whenever it senses motion. The image will then be available on Alarm.com.

The Qolsys Image Sensor communicates with the IQ Panel 2 using wireless ZigBee signals. The IQ Panel 2 System will need to have a Qolsys IQ Card-IS module installed to accept the ZigBee signals and support the image sensor. The IQ Card-IS uses the same antenna as the PowerG daughtercard found inside the Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Plus System. With that in mind, it is not really feasible to use both a Qolsys Image Sensor and PowerG Sensors on the same IQ Panel 2 System. However, there is actually a PowerG Image Sensor called the DSC PG9934P that you can use instead of the Qolsys Image Sensor if your system has a PowerG daughtercard installed. The device can be easily auto-enrolled, and it has a maximum signal range of up to 400 feet in open air environments.

The integrated motion sensor inside the Qolsys Image Sensor is capable of detecting movement from up to 30 feet away. It uses PIR technology to detect movement in all indoor environments, including. The camera's IR flash allows it to produce quality images even in nighttime darkness. The motion sensor offers pet immunity for small animals weighing up to 40 pounds. This means that pet owners won't have to worry about their small pets accidentally setting off the sensor. Any images that is produced will be sent to Alarm.com for easy viewing. The end user can even receive alerts regarding a new image via text and/or email. This is great for confirming an intrusion and providing firm evidence to the authorities. The sensor is also configurable so that you can adjust its sensitivity according to your needs. It produces images with a resolution of 320x240 pixels.
