Getting Monitoring for a Self Installed 2GIG GC3

In this video, Joe talks about getting monitoring services for a 2GIG System that has been self-installed. Alarm Grid will provide monitoring for both the 2GIG GC2 and GC3 Systems, as long as they have an Alarm.com cellular communicator. The communicator will connect the alarm system to the network.

Alarm.com is the interactive service used with the 2GIG GC2 and GC3 Security Systems. This service can be accessed at any time so that a user can arm and disarm their system, check the current status of their security sensors, control Z-Wave smart home devices and more. Any communication that is done using either of these panel will be passed through the Alarm.com servers. Therefore, getting connected with Alarm.com is extremely important.

Both the 2GIG GC2 and GC3 will require the user to purchase a separate cellular communicator for the system. The cellular communicator will have its own Alarm.com serial number that will allow it to connect with the Alarm.com network. This serial number is listed as "ADC", followed by a sequence of numbers. The user will need to provide the Alarm.com serial number to their alarm monitoring company so that it can be successfully monitored.

There are a couple of different ways that a user can obtain the Alarm.com serial number for cellular communicator. First, there is a sticker on every new Alarm.com cellular communicator that lists this serial number. Second, the serial number can be obtained through programming using the system's Installer Code. This can be a very easy way to obtain the serial number is the system is already mounted on the wall.

It should be mentioned that most 2GIG Systems can be taken over if they were monitored by a different alarm company. However, there are exceptions to this rule. For the GC2 System, it may be necessary to replace the cellular communicator with one that will work with Alarm.com. As for the GC3, there are a small number of panels that are branded and proprietary. If a user has one of these systems, they will need to replace it to receive monitoring service.
