SKU:
QO-IQN5017

The IQ5 NS gives installers a full PowerG+ alarm platform without a wall-mounted touchscreen. It's built for jobs where the end user prefers to run the system entirely from the mobile app: apartments, secondary units, closet installs, and any spec that treats the panel as network hardware rather than a wall fixture.

Screen-free, still full-featured

Under the housing: Qualcomm DragonWing processor, Android 14, PowerG+ 915MHz for up to 128 sensors, Z-Wave 800 Long Range for up to 167 automation devices, dual-band Wi-Fi with a built-in access point, Bluetooth 5.0 LE, and Verizon LTE CAT4 cellular. Every core radio is on board. The only thing missing is the touchscreen. Click here to view the AT&T version.

Key features

  • PowerG+ 915MHz built in for up to 128 sensors at 2000 ft line-of-sight, with legacy 319.5/345/433 MHz support via optional add-on cards
  • Z-Wave 800-Series Long Range for up to 167 automation devices with 4x range and 10x battery life over prior generations
  • Dual-band Wi-Fi 2.4/5GHz with a built-in access point, plus Bluetooth 5.0 LE for disarming
  • Up to 4 partitions and 242 users, managed remotely through the mobile app
  • 85 dB built-in piezo siren and dual panel/wall tamper
  • SmartMount wall bracket included, optional table stand sold separately

System requirements

Standard Alarm.com Interactive plan with cellular. 12V DC 1A power supply included. Legacy Qolsys sensor support requires the appropriate 319.5, 345, or 433 MHz add-on card, sold separately. All programming, arming, and user management happens through the Alarm.com mobile app; there is no on-panel touchscreen UI.
