Qolsys IQ Panel 2 – Enroll Image Sensors
Requirements
- Image Sensor daughter card is installed on the IQ Panel 2.
- Customer account includes the Images add-on.
- A communication test has completed successfully (how to send).
Helpful: Ensure the panel is connected to Wi-Fi for smoother provisioning (Wi-Fi setup).
Enroll Locally at the Panel
Install order: Enroll one Image Sensor at a time. Insert batteries after you put the panel in add mode.
- Run the daughter card test: Settings → Advanced Settings (installer code) → System Tests → Daughter Card Test → Run next to Image Sensor (allow up to 60s).
- Enter Auto Learn: Settings → Advanced Settings → Installation → Devices → Security Sensors → Auto Learn Sensor.
- Power the sensor: Insert batteries.
- Version 3 (ADC-IS-300-LP): LED goes blinking red → solid red → blinking yellow (learn mode).
- Version 1/2 (ADC-IS-221-LP): no learn-mode LED indication.
- Wait ~20s for prompt: “Image Sensor [X] is requesting to be added…” → tap OK.
- LED confirmation:
- V3: LED turns solid yellow (found panel).
- V1/2: LED turns solid ~5s (found panel).
- Configure defaults:
Setting Default Notes Sensor Type Image Sensors Leave as Image Sensors Sensor Name Image Sensor Must be unique per device Chime Type None Adjust if desired Sensor Group 17 – IS Away Instant Motion Can change post-enrollment Voice Prompts Off Optional - Tap Add New → exit Auto Learn.
- Initialization: Keep panel and sensor powered for several minutes while the device initializes with Alarm.com. Images aren’t available until this completes. Confirm rules in Partner Portal/MobileTech.
Test mode: On V3 sensors, after the LED turns solid green (account added), moving/tampering the sensor enters a 3-minute test mode (red LED on motion). Mounting can continue during this period.
Sensor Groups
Image Sensors enroll by default into Group 17. Supported groups: 15, 17, 20, 25, 35.
Change Group After Enrollment (Panel)
- Settings → Advanced Settings (installer code) → Installation → Devices → Security Sensors → Edit Sensors.
- Select the Image Sensor → change Sensor Group → save.
Enroll Remotely
Partner Portal
