The IQ5 Hub is the camera-less variant of the IQ Panel 5. Same 7-inch touchscreen, same Android 14 platform on Qualcomm DragonWing, same PowerG+ radio built in, same Z-Wave 800-Series Long Range and dual-band Wi-Fi. AT&T LTE CAT4 for cellular. Drops the on-panel 13MP camera and the dual speaker/mic array to hit a lower dealer cost.
When the on-panel camera isn't part of the job
The IQ5 Hub exists for installs where the customer already has a separate video system, or where the on-panel camera isn't part of the deal. Everything else about the IQ5 platform carries forward: PowerG+ ships in the box, legacy 319, 345, and 433 MHz support is available via add-on cards, the same UL985 / UL1023 / UL2610 / ULC-S545 / ULC-S304 listings cover residential fire and burglary and commercial burglary in both the US and Canada. Same modular RF story, same certification, same Alarm.com integration — just at a lower price point. Direct upgrade path from the IQ Panel Hub AT&T family (replaces IQPH055, IQPH056, IQPH057, IQPH058).
