Introducing the 2GIG GC Touch: The Next Evolution in Smart Home Security

Meet the all-new 2GIG GC Touch Wireless Security, Smart Automation and Video Surveillance System.

GeoArm Security, a leader in DIY home and business security solutions, introduces the all-new 2GIG GC Touch Wireless 7” Touchscreen Security System, a modern, feature-rich platform designed to deliver advanced protection and seamless smart home control. Built on 2GIG’s proven foundation of reliability, the GC Touch eSeries encrypted wireless security system combines cutting-edge technology with a sleek, user-friendly design. At the center of the system is a vibrant 7-inch capacitive touchscreen that offers intuitive navigation, enhanced responsiveness, and a refined interface inspired by the popular EDGE platform—including dark mode support for a more modern user experience.

Available in two models — the 2GIG-TOUCH-NA-AA for the AT&T 4G LTE network and the 2GIG-TOUCH-NA-VA for the Verizon 4G LTE network—the GC Touch features a built-in Alarm.com dual-path Wi-Fi and cellular communicator. This ensures reliable, always-on connectivity by prioritizing Wi-Fi communication while automatically switching to secure LTE cellular if needed. Powered by the award-winning Alarm.com platform, users can control their system remotely, receive real-time alerts, and manage automation from anywhere using the Alarm.com Interactive App.

Designed for both flexibility and performance, the GC Touch includes an integrated 800-series Z-Wave® module for smart home automation, allowing users to control lights, locks, thermostats, and garage doors with ease. Features like Bluetooth disarming add everyday convenience, while Alarm.com Scenes enable automation of multiple devices with a single tap or voice command. The system is also fully compatible with all 2GIG 345 MHz, eSeries, and E+ extended range series encrypted sensors, making it an ideal choice for both new installations and system upgrades. With support for GeoArm’s 24/7 professional monitoring or DIY self-monitoring, the GC Touch delivers a complete, customizable security experience for residential and commercial applications alike.

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.
