The Qolsys IQ Panel 4 is the latest version of the IQ Panel from Qolsys. It improves on many of the amazing features of the IQ Panel 2+. It also adds some serious audio improvements going from 2 speakers with 1 Watt each to 4 speakers with 4 Watts each. In addition, you can add a base to the keypad if you want it on the tabletop that can add deeper sound.

Most of the improvements can be looked at like a newer iPhone version with enhancements on several different areas, but mostly the same experience.
Improvements
Check out the improvements in the comparison chart below. The Android version has gone from 5 to 9 and the processor also has gone from a 4 core to an 8 core SOM.
The panel camera has some drastic improvements where the camera can be tilted. It also has a larger angle, and it’s gone up to 8MB in resolution. Additionally, the antenna does not stick out the back anymore for the 319.5 frequency and they are able to get better range.
The z-wave plus technology is always improving, so it’s no surprise that the new version has the 700 series with S2 encryption. Additionally, the microphone has some improvements, and with Bluetooth, you can even stream music from your phone or other Bluetooth devices to the keypad.
One of the best improvements on the Qolsys IQ Panel 4 is that the way you can mount it to the wall is much simpler now without needing any kind of wizardry or magic. Also, you can mount it to the IQ Base or the wall, or the standard base.

First time user and installer. I converted my old Pulse system to the new Qolsys IQ Panel 4. System. Created a hybrid wired / wireless system and it was a very simple and straightforward process. System has been up and running for about 3 months now with no problems. I also added a remote panel in my bedroom to be able to arm and disarm the system. I am 100% satisfied and would definitely recommend this system to anyone who is looking for an alarm system.
