Connecting the 2GIG GC3e to WIFI

In this video, Jarrett from Alarm Grid shows you how to connect the 2GIG GC3e to a WIFI network. The 2GIG GC3e can use WIFI connectivity to communicate with the Alarm.com servers. However, it cannot be set up for WIFI connectivity alone. Alarm.com requires that a security system also has a cellular communication path enabled. While no additional hardware is needed for connecting to WIFI, you will need to add a separate cellular communicator to set up the required cellular communication path.

Communicating with Alarm.com is an essential component of monitoring service for the 2GIG GC3e System. The panel sends signal to the Alarm.com servers during alarm events. These signals are sent across WIFI and cellular. Whichever signal reaches Alarm.com first will go through, while the other signal will be automatically discarded. This prevents any incoming command from going through twice. Alarm.com forwards incoming alerts to a central station and/or the end user directly via text and/or email depending on the user's monitoring plan.

In order to connect the 2GIG GC3e to WIFI, you will need to access the appropriate menu on the system. This will require providing either the Master Code or the Installer Code for the GC3e System. For reference, the GC3e default Installer Code is 1561. When connecting with the WIFI network, you will be required to provide its network password. Make sure that you know that information. Also make sure that the GC3e Panel is within range of the WIFI router. You can connect the 2GIG GC3e to either a 2.4 GHz WIFI Network or a 5 GHz WIFI Network. Keep in mind that WIFI connectivity will only represent one communication path for the GC3e. If the internet ever goes down, then the system will still be able to communicate with Alarm.com using its cellular backup.
