Sensors and peripheral devices can be added to a 2GIG GC3 panel using the Partner Portal, MobileTech app, or locally using the panel. 

Note: Device partitions can be configured if the 2GIG GC3 is on firmware version 3.2+ for Smart Areas support. For more information about multiple partitions with the 2GIG GC3, see How do multiple partitions work with the 2GIG GC3?

Compatibility 

The 2GIG GC3 is compatible with 345 MHz sensors. The following table displays the maximum amount supported of each device type:

Wireless sensors  100
Hardwired sensors 

2

Note: Hardwired zones on the 2GIG GC3 do not have full access to all Alarm.com features that wireless zones have access to (i.e., Sensor Left Open notifications and Sensor Activity Monitoring). 

Keyfobs 32
Keypads
