I’m currently with another provider and have the QolSys alarm system. Am I able to switch to you for monitoring? So I want to do the following:
Remotely arm/disarm the system
Set reminders when the alarm is not turned on
Use home automation like with a garage door opener
Not a deal breaker, but taking images from the QolSys camera would be nice
Can you tell me which of your plans you would recommend?
Thank you!
Thanks for your interest in our service. Happy to help! Information on how to get started with suretyDIY using an existing Qolsys panel can be found here.
You can compare included features of our service plans here. Both can be purchased with or without 24/7 monitoring.
As for the desired functions:
Remotely arm/disarm the system
Set reminders when the alarm is not turned on
These two are standard with either plan.
Use home automation like with a garage door opener
Home Automation through Alarm.com will require Gold Interactive service.
Not a deal breaker, but taking images from the QolSys camera would be nice
The Qolsys panel can do this on its own and the images are visible at the panel, however, in order to view them through Alarm.com and have notifications sent to your phone/email etc., it requires the latest Qolsys firmware 1.6.1 (just released in the past couple weeks) as it has not been an available feature of the panel until now.
Note this will also require Gold Interactive (follows the Image Sensor photos/month) and that firmware 1.6.1 cannot be used yet if you have an IQ2 secondary panel.
