What is the difference between IQ Panel 5, IQ5 Hub and IQ5 NS?
The IQ Panel 5 and IQ5 Hub provide touchscreen control, while IQ5 NS is screen-free. We help choose the right version based on your sensors, budget and how you want to use the alarm.
Can I replace my Cox Homelife touchscreen with an IQ Panel 5?
Often, yes, but the Cox touchscreen itself is not reused. We evaluate your existing sensors and wiring to determine what can stay and what needs replacing.
Can I use my existing Honeywell door and window sensors with an IQ5?
Some hardwired sensors may be reused through suitable takeover equipment. Wireless sensors require a model and frequency compatibility check.

Not necessarily. The IQ5 NS is a screen-free option, but the appropriate configuration depends on your monitoring plan and preferred controls.
Can I see security cameras on my IQ5 touchscreen?
Camera viewing depends on the panel model, compatible cameras and enabled service features. We verify the specific setup rather than promise every camera will work.
Will my alarm keep working if the internet goes out?
A compatible cellular communication path can provide alarm reporting without relying solely on home internet. The actual backup behavior depends on the installed hardware, service and available power.
Can you install an IQ Panel 5 in Scottsdale, Mesa or Chandler?
Yes. The Alarm Butler provides alarm installation and upgrades across the Phoenix metro area, including Scottsdale, Mesa and Chandler.
How much does an IQ5 upgrade cost if I already have sensors?
It depends on the panel selected, how many existing sensors are compatible, whether takeover modules are needed and the monitoring setup. We review the equipment before quoting.
