Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Image Sensor ADC-IS-221-LP - Installation Guide
Product summary
The Image Sensor is a pet immune PIR (passive infrared) motion detector with a built-in camera. The sensor is
designed to capture images during alarm or non-alarm events when motion is detected. Users can also initiate image
capture on-demand to Peek-In on their property. Images are stored locally and uploaded either automatically when
motion is captured during alarm events or manually when requested by the user. Once uploaded, images are available
for viewing on the Alarm.com website or an Alarm.com smart phone app. The sensor is battery powered, all wireless,
and simple to install and operate. A subscription to an Alarm.com service package is required.

Page 8: Mounting Guidelines
As indicated in Figure 2, the camera coverage area is narrower than the PIR coverage area. When installing, mount sensor where subjects are likely to be centered in or across PIR and camera field of view. Mounting guidelines Before permanently mounting the Image Sensor, evaluate potential locations and consider the following factors to ensure optimal performance and false alarm protection: •... - Page 9 Additional considerations for Image Sensor mounting • If possible, locate sensor within 100 feet of the panel especially if there are many walls between the sensor and panel, or if the panel and sensor are located on different floors. While the transmitter may have an open air range of 400 feet, installation site conditions can reduce range considerably.
