About IQGuard

A manufacturer built around the dealer.

IQGuard designs and builds complete solar powered AI security systems and puts them in the hands of professional security dealers. The hardware handles power, connectivity, detection and deterrence so you can sell the whole property instead of the wired part of it.

IQGuard came out of a simple pattern in the field. Dealers kept running into properties where the cameras made sense and the infrastructure did not. Trenching, conduit and permits turned good jobs into bids nobody won.

So the product started at the hardest part: power and connectivity. Solar, battery, LTE and on device AI, engineered together and tested in real deployments before they went into the catalog. Pilot units were instrumented down to battery state of charge so the production systems would not need babysitting.

Today those systems are deployed on hotel lots, builder sites, equipment yards, storage facilities and rural property, installed by dealers who bill the hardware, the install, the monitoring and the service.

How we operate

Four rules we do not bend.

We sell through dealers

We do not compete with you for the end user. Every install goes through a dealer, and the customer relationship stays yours.

We ship finished products

Not a parts list. A system arrives ready to mount, commission and bill, so your unpaid engineering hours go away.

We build for outside

Weather, dust, impact and no power. The hardware is designed for the conditions where the jobs actually are.

We support the deal

Pricing, spec help, proposal support and training. If a job is winnable, we work it with you.

Leadership
