Overview
The 2GIG Edge is a modern smart home security panel combining intrusion detection, Z-Wave automation, built-in LTE connectivity options, and Alarm.com ecosystem features in a streamlined touchscreen platform.
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.
