Smart Shield Systems
IQ Remote PowerG Software
The IQ Remote PowerG (IQR-PG) is a 7″ secondary touchscreen keypad that mirrors your main IQ Panel 4 / IQ4 Hub / IQ Pro—giving you arm/disarm, scenes, sensor status, chimes, and live video right where you need it. It can enroll via PowerG or Wi-Fi, and with the 4.6.x software family you get smoother pairing plus new options like a screen lock when prerequisites are met. Up to eight remotes can be added per system.
Why Choose This with Smart Shield Systems
- Placed where it matters: we position the keypad for fast access (entry, hallway, bedroom), verify PowerG/Wi-Fi strength, and enroll it cleanly.
- Video on the wall: we enable Live View (and Live Answer where supported) for compatible Alarm.com cameras/doorbells.
- 4.6.x readiness: we update your primary panel to 4.6.1 and apply the IQ Remote PG 4.6.1 patch so features like Screen Lock work as expected.
