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.

  1. Run the daughter card test: Settings → Advanced Settings (installer code) → System Tests → Daughter Card Test → Run next to Image Sensor (allow up to 60s).
  2. Enter Auto Learn: Settings → Advanced Settings → Installation → Devices → Security Sensors → Auto Learn Sensor.
  3. 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.
  4. Wait ~20s for prompt: “Image Sensor [X] is requesting to be added…” → tap OK.
  5. LED confirmation:
    • V3: LED turns solid yellow (found panel).
    • V1/2: LED turns solid ~5s (found panel).
  6. 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
  7. Tap Add New → exit Auto Learn.
  8. 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)

  1. Settings → Advanced Settings (installer code) → Installation → Devices → Security Sensors → Edit Sensors.
  2. Select the Image Sensor → change Sensor Group → save.

  3. Add Sensor. If remote add fails, delete and re-enroll locally at the panel.

MobileTech App

  1. Equipment → Add DevicesImage Sensor.
  2. Enter MAC and choose Sensor ID.
  3. Add Sensor. If remote add fails, delete and re-enroll locally at the panel.
