If you've recently searched for Qolsys products, you may have noticed that some familiar products are not listed under the IQ Security name instead. While this may seem confusing at first, the change is simply a rebranding of the product line. The technology, compatibility and quality customers have come to expect remains the same.
Why Did the Name Change?
Qolsys has rebranded its product portfolio under the IQ Security name to create a more unified brand identity across its security solutions. Since the introduction of the popular IQ Panel product line, the "IQ" name has become closely associated with the company's smart security ecosystem.
By transitioning from the Qolsys brand to IQ Security, the company is aligning its products under a single, recognizable identity while continuing to build on the innovation and reliability that customers have trusted for years.
Which Products Are Affected?
The IQ Security branding applies to many products previously sold under the Qolsys name, including:
-
IQ Panels
-
Door and window sensors
-
Motion detectors
-
Glass break detectors
-
Key fobs
-
PowerG wireless devices
-
Security accessories and peripherals
As the transition continues, you may see products listed under either the Qolsys or IQ Security name depending on inventory, packaging, or product documentation.
Will this Affect Existing Qolsys Systems?
For most customers, the transition is primarily a branding change. If you already own a Qolsys security system, your existing equipment and compatible accessories continue to function as expected. The most noticeable difference is that newly manufactured products, packaging, and documentation may display the IQ Security name instead of Qolsys.
If you're replacing an existing device or expanding your security system, you may receive a product with IQ Security branding even though it is the direct successor to the Qolsys product you were expecting.
What this Means for Installers and Customers:
For installers and customers, the biggest adjustment is simply recognizing the new name branding.
When searching for replacement parts or ordering new equipment, you may find the same products listed under either the Qolsys or IQ Security name. Understanding this transition can help you locate compatible products more easily and avoid confusion when comparing model numbers or product listings.
On Fire and Safety plus, you will be able to find products listed under both names, this will ensure you can find exactly what you are searching for! We recommend trying to search with both names at first to help find exactly what you need.
Final Thoughts:
The introduction of the IQ Security name does not mean that Qolsys products have been discontinued. Instead, it represents a rebranding designed to unify the company's security product portfolio under a single brand identity.
As more products transition to the IQ Security name, customers can continue to expect the same trusted technology, reliable performance, and compatibility they've come to expect from Qolsys products.
