What is the Best Apartment or Condo Security System?

The best apartment or condo security system is the Qolsys IQ Panel 2. Specifically, we recommend the Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Verizon 3-1 Kit from Alarm Grid. This kit has everything that an apartment or condo resident needs to get started with home security. But this is just one option.

Qolsys iq panel 2 at and t wireless security system with at and There are a few things to keep in mind when choosing a security system for an apartment or a condo. First, a user will generally want a wireless system so they won't have to run any wires through the wall. Overall, wireless systems are much easier to install and set up, especially in an apartment or condo. Second, a user will want a system and compatible wireless sensors that can be mounted without drilling any holes. Many landlords will not allow tenants to drill holes in the walls. Plus, mounting sensors with double-sided foam tape instead of screws requires less work. Finally, users will want a panel that is easy to use on a daily basis.

The Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Verizon 3-1 Kit from Alarm Grid meets all of these requirements. This wireless all-in-one security system comes with its own desk stand so that it can be conveniently rested on a table or a desk. And all of the sensors can be mounted using double-sided foam tape. As a result, no holes will need to be drilled to install the system or its sensors. And it has its own cable and transformer for easy wiring. This makes the system one of the easiest to set up for DIY users.

The IQ Panel 2 is also one of the most complete alarm systems available on the market today. It comes with a built-in WIFI card and a cellular communicator so that it can achieve a fast and reliable dual-path communication setup right out of the box. The included communicator allows the system to connect with the Verizon LTE cellular network. It should be mentioned that there is also an AT&T LTE version of the same kit that can be used if AT&T service works better in the user's area. The system also includes an integrated Z-Wave controller for operating smart home devices.

However, there are other alarm systems that are also great for apartments and condos. Both the the Honeywell Lyric Controller and the 2GIG GC3 are robust, wireless systems that are excellent for DIY users. Both systems have desk stands that can be purchased separately so that the user will not need to mount their panel to the wall. And they are compatible with wireless security sensors that can be mounted using double-sided foam tape instead of screws.
