System Q launches new smart alarm VIAS control panel

System Q has announced its latest innovation is smart alarm tech for installers – the VIAS Control Panel.

The company has reported that many installers and homeowners continue to manage separate systems for alarms, CCTV and smart home functions, often facing challenges such as call-backs, compatibility issues and tightening profit margins.

The VIAS Control Panel, priced at £159, is said to integrate alarm, CCTV and smart home control into one device.

One system. One app. One supplier.

System Q has articulated that with old systems that cover alarm, CCTV and smart home, customers get three apps, three sets of instructions, three potential points of failure. It’s a call-back waiting to happen.

VIAS reportedly eliminates this headache with one control panel, one app and one customer invoice.

The company has articulated that conventional security installations often require multiple control units, which can increase installation time and cost.

These systems typically total around £450. In contrast, an integrated all-in-one control panel, such as the VIAS unit available from System Q, is priced at £159.
