2GIG Edge: Factory Resetting

In this video, Michael from Alarm Grid shows you how to factory reset your 2GIG Edge Security System. This may also be referred to as factory defaulting the system. When you successfully factory default the 2GIG Edge, its settings will be restored to their factory default. There are some different settings that you can choose to factory default. These settings include Security & Zones, Console, Users, Z-Wave, Network, and IP Cameras. You do not need to reset everything on the 2GIG Edge System when you go to perform a factory default. Instead, you can pick and choose from the aforementioned categories as to what should be reset, and what should be left alone.

There are some important things to keep in mind regarding the factory defaulting process on the 2GIG Edge. For one, a factory default cannot be undone. Once you have initiated a factory reset, you cannot go back and undo it. That is why you should make absolutely sure you want to factory reset the system before doing executing this function. Factory defaulting can be an effective troubleshooting step in certain situations, but it should really only be performed as a last resort. Try all other possible methods for fixing or correcting the issue before resorting to a factory default.

Also remember that you will need to provide the Installer code for the system before you will be able to perform a factory reset. The default Installer Code for the 2GIG Edge Security System is 1561. It is possible to change this code, but it is usually kept at the default, due to the fact that keeping the Installer Code at the default does not present a security risk. Remember that if you factory default the Users option for the system, then the Installer code will be restored to its default.
