Compatibility

SP2

The SP2 (2GIG-SP2-GC3) is a secondary touchscreen for use with the 2GIG GC3 panel. It communicates over Wi-Fi to the main control panel and is compatible with Alarm.com-enabled GC3 panel firmware version 3.1.0+.

The SP2 runs full Android. Occasionally, the SP2 has firmware updates which can be updated using an Over the Air (OTA) update using Alarm.com. For more information about what the update entails, contact the manufacturer, 2GIG.

2GIG released the SP2 on May 15, 2017. For more information about the SP2 release, refer to the 2GIG's SP2 Press Release.

Compatibility
  • The SP2 appears in the customer's equipment list as long as the panel firmware version is 3.1.0+. 
  • The SP2 communicates to the GC3 system using Wi-Fi direct. Both GC3 and SP2 need to be on the same Wi-Fi network.

  • The SP2 does not support reporting panic alarms (i.e., no ability to initiate a panic from the keypad).
