I work for a company servicing 2gig Systems, they are trash. Out of every system we service, 2gig requires multiple trips, and usually ends with replacing the system with a DSC. It looks nice, it’s very cheap, but in the end….you get what you pay for. Would never, ever recommend this system to anyone.

2Gig technologies was bought by Vivint and then acquired for $2 BILLION. They have evolved into the Vivint Sky panel which is great. 2Gig is still available for purchase and their main touchscreen panel will be the new Simon XT in the sense that it will be around for years to come and the basic package offered by security companies.

We have the GC3 system and a secondary panel for the upstairs. The second unit never works for long. It loses internet connect even with a signal booster. Very disappointing to have such an unreliable system. We have had our installer come back 6 times and still it is not working. Would definitely not recommend this product!

It seems most companies use 2gig control panels and equipment. Basically every security company is 2gig equipment with Alarm dot com user app control interface. The only other ones that stand out as being their own security system provider anymore is ADT and Vivint who have their own equipment, but even that said; most ADT dealers use GE or 2gig.

Still, not taking away from anything 2gig has done or offers, all very good equipment and I would recommend it over GE, DSC or Honeywell.

This sounds brilliant, to be honest. Very high tech and efficient, just the way I like it!
I would have loved to save the installation money and just do it myself but the lack of a manual will probably prevent that

The lack of an instruction manual is very troubling, as it wasn’t exactly intuitive installation.
I really wanted to buy this too.
