Why do I need a touchscreen panel?

Touchscreen panels offer a more intuitive and interactive way to control your smart home and home security devices. They make navigation easier, especially for those accustomed to smartphones and tablets. The Qolsys IQ Panel is the hub of your Brinks Home system. It connects everything to your network, allowing alarms to reach our alarm monitoring center, and enabling you to receive event notifications.
