Johnson Controls has announced that its PowerManage service management platform and the ConnectAlarm mobile app now support the latest IQ alarm panels. This new integration delivers an all-in-one intrusion detection solution with hardware, software, service and technical support offering simplified installation process, localised data management, intuitive remote access and Bluetooth disarming capability.
The IQ Panel 4 Family is the newest line of wireless smart home and security systems from Johnson Controls, now available to customers in EMEA regions. Home and small business owners can choose from three IQ panel models:
• The IQ Panel 4 features include an 8 MP camera with 120-degree wide angle lens with Flex Tilt for disarm photos and alarm videos, three microphones with echo cancellation, two-way voice, built-in glass break detector, panel motion, and a compatible IQ base with QuadSound speakers.
• The IQ4 HUB shares some features with the IQ Panel 4 like the built-in touchscreen, control of automation devices, music streaming and a photo frame screen saver.
• The IQ4 NS is ideal for customers who prefer a smaller, sleek panel with all the essential security features, as well as the benefits that come with PowerManage integration.
All three IQ panels include the Bluetooth disarming function, which allows users to disarm their security system hands-free using their mobile device. As the end user approaches the door from the outside, their mobile phone comes within range of the system’s Bluetooth and automatically disarms, without the need to enter a code on the outside panel. End users can give Bluetooth access to other authorised people as well, so families can share access to the home and grant access to others.
PowerManage is an all in-one receiver, technical management centre and interactive service platform that runs on standard professional server hardware and verified web technologies with cybersecurity standards implemented. It can be installed on a local server or in the cloud, giving companies of all sizes greater flexibility and freedom to manage customer data in the way that works best for them.
