Overview
The 2GIG GC2 (and GC2e encrypted variant) is a compact touchscreen wireless panel supervising 345 MHz sensors, Z-Wave devices, and optional LTE communicators for Alarm.com or dealer monitoring platforms.
The panel is the brain of the 2GIG system: it supervises wireless zones, drives local sirens, manages Z-Wave automation, and reports to Alarm.com (or your dealer monitoring platform) when a compatible cell module is installed and activated. Installers program zones, user codes, and dialer options in the installer menu; end users arm/disarm from the touchscreen, keyfobs, or Alarm.com app.
