GeoAlarm Security Systems Now Available at Walmart!

GeoAlarm Partners with Walmart to Bring Smart Home Security to More Homes .

GeoAlarm is excited to partner with Walmart, making it easier than ever for homeowners to bring connected security and smart home control into their homes.

With the GeoAlarm Security System, you can manage your security, cameras, lighting, climate, locks, garage doors, and other connected devices from one convenient app. Whether you are at home, at work, or traveling, GeoAlarm helps keep you connected to the people and property that matter most.

One App for Security and Smart Home Control

Modern home security is about more than simply arming and disarming an alarm system. GeoAlarm combines security, video, automation, and smart home controls into a single connected experience.

From the GeoAlarm app, you can remotely manage your system, view cameras, receive important alerts, and control compatible connected devices from virtually anywhere.

With GeoAlarm, you can:

  • Arm and disarm your security system remotely while viewing real-time alarm status.
  • Receive instant security alerts and notifications when important events occur.
  • Know when family members arrive home through customized notifications.
  • View live video from connected security cameras and video doorbells.
  • Record important security events automatically when activity or alarms are detected.
  • Check in on family members and pets while you are away from home.
  • Monitor doors, entryways, and your property using multiple cameras and video doorbells.
  • Control compatible lights, locks, thermostats, garage doors, cameras, and other connected devices directly from the app.

Stay Connected Wherever You Go

Whether you want to check that the alarm is armed after leaving home, see who is at the front door, adjust the thermostat, lock a door, close the garage, or view your cameras, GeoAlarm gives you convenient access from your smartphone.

Real-time notifications also help you stay informed about activity around your home without having to constantly check the system yourself.

Security, Video, and Automation Working Together

One of the biggest advantages of a connected security system is the ability for different devices to work together.

For example, compatible cameras can automatically record when a security event occurs, helping capture important activity around your property. Smart devices such as locks, lights, thermostats, and garage doors can also be controlled alongside your security system, creating a more convenient connected-home experience.

Instead of managing multiple devices through several different applications, GeoAlarm brings compatible security and smart home functions together in one place.

GeoAlarm Is Now Available at Walmart

Our partnership with Walmart helps make GeoAlarm Security Systems more accessible to customers looking for a convenient way to add connected security and smart home functionality to their homes.

GeoArm releases all new IQ5 Control Panel Family!

GeoArm Security has released the IQ5 Family: a powerful lineup of smart security system control panels designed to transform how homes and businesses stay protected. Featuring the IQ Panel 5, IQ5 Hub, and IQ5 NS, this all-new platform delivers unmatched performance, deeper smart home integration, and future-ready connectivity.

The IQ Panel 5 family represents the next generation of smart security panels from IQ (formerly Qolsys), built on a powerful Qualcomm DragonWing™ quad-core processor running Android 14 for fast performance, smooth operation, and a long lifecycle of updates and new features.

All three models — IQ Panel 5, IQ5 Hub, and IQ5 NS — include built-in PowerG+ wireless technology for long-range, encrypted communication with security and automation devices, dual-path LTE and dual-band Wi-Fi connectivity for reliable communications, Z-Wave 800 Series with Long Range for smart home device integration, and Bluetooth 5.0 + LE for touchless disarming and device support. The flagship IQ Panel 5 adds a 7″ capacitive touchscreen, an integrated 13 MP PortraitView camera, dual microphones, dual 4 W speakers with an 85 dB siren, onboard glass-break detection, and full video integration capabilities, making it suitable as a central home control interface. The IQ5 Hub delivers much of the same powerful hardware and modern interface at a more accessible price point, with a touchscreen and core functionality but without the additional onboard sensors. The IQ5 NS eliminates the touchscreen entirely in favor of a screenless installation for hidden or utility-mounted deployments, relying on app control (powered by Alarm.com) while retaining the same secure communications, processor performance, and expandability as its siblings. Optional RF daughter cards allow support for legacy sensor frequencies, simplifying takeovers of existing security systems.

Three panels. Endless possibilities.

What Makes the IQ5 Family Next-Level?

✔️ Powered by Qualcomm DragonWing™ — lightning-fast processing and future-proof performance.

✔️ Built-in PowerG+ Wireless Security — secure, encrypted long-range communication with sensors.

✔️ Modular Design — choose optional daughter cards to support legacy frequencies without unnecessary hardware.

✔️ Dual-Path LTE + Wi-Fi — keep connected and monitored no matter what.

✔️ Bluetooth 5.0 + LE Touchless Disarming — smooth, modern system access.

Johnson Controls (JCI) is the manufacturer of IQ security products, including the IQ Panel and related smart home security devices.
