Equipment

The gear we install. Named clearly.

Product transparency matters. Below is the gear we build around: Qolsys panel, sensors techs still install in the field, Alarm.com cameras, and locks, with plain language for what each piece does.

Connect your security, cameras, door locks, garage doors, thermostat, and more to our 1 app solution.

How the ecosystem works

One chain from sensor to your phone.

A good security system is not a shopping cart of random gadgets. It is a sequence: sensors detect, the panel interprets, cellular and Wi-Fi deliver, Alarm.com shows you what happened, and monitoring support sits behind the account when needed.

01
Sensors see it first
Door/window contacts, motion, glass break, smoke/heat, carbon monoxide, and flood sensors report into the panel. Wireless sensors use the encrypted RF path. Hardwired detectors like the FG1625F glassbreak connect through the install’s wired zone plan.
02
The panel decides what matters
The Qolsys panel is the on-wall brain. It knows if you are armed, which zones are open, and when an event should become an alarm.
03
Cellular and Wi-Fi carry the signal
The panel’s built-in cellular path plus Wi-Fi keep Alarm.com connected so monitoring is not trapped behind one internet modem.
04
Alarm.com becomes your 1 app solution
Arming, alerts, cameras, locks, garage, thermostat, and more show up in one customer experience instead of a pile of brand apps.
05
You stay in control. Monitoring stands behind you.
When the system needs human response pathways through professional monitoring, that traffic already sits on the Alarm.com platform.

Why this stack

Fewer brands. Cleaner support.

We standardize on a Qolsys panel with Alarm.com for app and monitoring. Sensors are chosen for what techs still install every day: wireless contacts and motion where they fit, and proven detectors like the Honeywell FG1625F glassbreak when glass coverage needs that acoustic approach. That keeps support cleaner and your day-to-day experience in one app. Exact SKUs are confirmed in the quote for your home layout.

Panel and connectivity

The Qolsys panel is the hub. Built-in Wi-Fi and cellular keep Alarm.com online. Everything else reports in or pairs here.

Qolsys IQ Panel 5 family

Security panel

The home base of the system. Arm, disarm, hear alerts, and manage sensors from a wall-mounted touchscreen. Cellular monitoring is built into the panel, not a second box on the wall.

Role in the ecosystem: Brain of the system. Sensors report here. Automation pairs here. Alarm.com connects through Wi-Fi and the built-in cellular path.

Current Qolsys IQ Panel install path for Alarm.com homes
Touchscreen control for everyday arming and status
Built-in PowerG support for encrypted wireless sensors
Built-in Wi-Fi plus cellular LTE path so monitoring is not dependent on home internet alone
Z-Wave support for locks, garage controllers, thermostats, and more
No separate cell communicator enclosure for a standard IQ Panel install

Intrusion sensors

Perimeter and room protection that tell the panel something changed.

DSC PowerG slim door and window contact sensor

DSC PowerG PGP9303 / PG9303 family

Door and window sensor

Slim magnetic contact that notices when a door or window opens. The front line of perimeter protection.

Role in the ecosystem: Tells the panel the moment an entry point opens.

Wireless PowerG contact for doors and windows
Encrypted sensor traffic to the panel
Long-range PowerG performance for tough home layouts
Low-profile housing so it sits cleaner on trim than bulky legacy contacts

Qolsys IQ Motion S (encrypted)

Motion detector

Watches rooms and hallways for movement when the system is armed for that area.

Role in the ecosystem: Catches motion inside the home after the perimeter is covered.

Qolsys encrypted wireless motion commonly used with IQ Panel installs
Passive infrared coverage for interior spaces
Pairs to the panel with the rest of the wireless sensors
Placement is planned during install to reduce nuisance trips

Honeywell FG1625F

Glass break detector

A flex-guard style acoustic glassbreak that installers still put in glass-heavy rooms every day. Detects the sound of breaking glass so you do not need a contact on every pane.

Role in the ecosystem: Adds window protection with the acoustic glassbreak form factor techs still install in the field.

Honeywell FG1625F acoustic glassbreak detector
Common professional install choice for living rooms, dining rooms, and storefront-style glass
Hardwired into the security circuit for a clean, always-powered detector
Works with the Qolsys panel through the system’s hardwire path / zone wiring plan confirmed on install
Complements door and window contacts rather than replacing them

Life safety and water

Smoke/heat, carbon monoxide, and flood detection on the same monitored system.

DSC PowerG PG9936

Smoke and heat detector

Life-safety detector for smoke and heat that can report into the alarm system and monitoring path.

Role in the ecosystem: Brings fire-related alerts into the same system that protects against intrusion.

Smoke and heat sensing in one wireless detector
Reports through the panel to Alarm.com when enrolled
Part of a layered fire strategy with your home’s existing life-safety devices
Exact placement follows residential fire-safety best practices during install

DSC PowerG PG9933

Carbon monoxide detector

Detects carbon monoxide (CO), the odorless gas from incomplete combustion. This is a CO detector, not a CO₂ air-quality sensor.

Role in the ecosystem: Adds invisible gas risk into the same monitoring conversation as intrusion and fire.

Carbon monoxide detection for living spaces near fuel-burning equipment risks
PowerG wireless reporting to the panel
Designed for life-safety alerting through your security ecosystem
We will never list this as “CO₂” because that is a different measurement

DSC PowerG PG9985

Flood sensor

Probe-based water detection for laundry rooms, water heaters, sump areas, and other leak risks.

Role in the ecosystem: Watches for water where you are not standing every hour.

Flood detector with probe for early water alerts
PowerG wireless reporting
Useful anywhere a slow leak can turn into floor damage
Can notify through Alarm.com when monitoring rules are set

Alarm.com cameras

Indoor, outdoor, and doorbell video in the same app as arming and alerts.
