2GIG SMART AREAS™
NEW GC3 FEATURE REDEFINES PARTITIONING
2GIG SMART AREAS – A FRESH LOOK AT PARTITIONING
2GIG Smart Areas represents a new approach to partitioning, addressing the pain points of installers and end users with a new way of setting up and using partitions. With 2GIG Smart Areas, the GC3 becomes the first all-in-one wireless security panel in the market to enable partitioning without requiring add-on modules.
For installers, the GC3 streamlines the setup process. Device enrollments have been simplified, with all parameters displayed on the screen for quick scanning, saving time.
For end users, 2GIG Smart Areas security system is a one-touch solution. Users can access any partition/smart area with appropriate authorization. ‘Arm/Disarm’ and ‘Emergency/Panic’ functions can be accessed quickly. From any menu, tapping the ‘Home’ button immediately returns to the ‘Arm/Disarm’ screen. Past partitioning examples required users to swipe from screen to screen.
The simplified user interface reduces confusion and frustration for users who may not interact with their security system every day. With the common tasks upfront, it’s easy to select without having to memorize. Unique sound options for each smart area have been added for further ease of use, as they will quickly alert the user to possible issues in the zones that match that unique sound.
The new GC3 user interface adds the Smart Areas functionality directly to the main screen, making it easy to access and arm/disarm areas of the home or building.

SMART AREAS CREATES OPPORTUNITIES
Enabling up to 4 completely independent areas for partitioning, the 2GIG Smart Areas security system creates unique areas for safes/vaults, garages, swimming pool areas, rental rooms and other areas a homeowner or business owner needs to manage independently. Unique access codes can be set up for these areas so that one member of the house may have access to some areas while another (child, renter, guest) may not. All alerts and notifications for each smart area are displayed independently – just as if these were 4 unique systems. Global life safety alerts such as carbon monoxide, smoke and fire can be displayed system-wide.
There are many use cases for 2GIG Smart Areas security systems for both home and light commercial use, and these use cases are enhanced with 2GIG® Notification Sensors, GoControl® smart devices and the Alarm.com app and website. They include:
Package Delivery
Have packages delivered at home in the garage while people are away. Close the garage and re-arm with Alarm.com app.
Valuables – Gun Safe/Safe
Keep valuables and guns protected with other by arming a section of the room where safes, guns or vaults are located.
In-Law or Guest Suite
In-laws or live-in guests can independently arm/disarm from your main house. Enhance lifestyle with creating scenes to control 2GIG Z-Wave smart lights and switches from alarm.com app.
Vacation Rentals/Short-Term Room Rentals
Rent a spare room, or a vacation home on Airbnb and manage security with temporary guest access and smart locks.
Child Safety by the pool
Secure the swimming pool or spa area to help reduce the risk of drowning accidents. Stay compliant in California, where newly-built pools and spas now require at least one safety measure, including an alarm.
Barn or Tool Shed
Keep people away from equipment, or even protect your man-cave by creating a Smart Areas with a 2GIG outdoor sensor for these sections of a home or property.
Medicine cabinet
Keep medicine away from kids by creating a Medicine Cabinet Area. Keep medicine cabinet armed at all times. Notification is also sent to the master user if unauthorized access is attempted
Restaurants
Secure valuables in the Manager’s office to reduce the risk of thefts while keeping the common areas disarmed during business hours.
Doctor’s Office
Keep doctors’ offices independently armed when not being used, while keeping the rest of common areas disarmed during business hours. With Smart Areas, doctors can keep their medicine and controlled substances areas protected and out of reach.
2GIG Smart Areas™ is also compatible with the new 2GIG notification sensors. These sensors warn users of potential trouble, such as water leakage, a stove or grill left on, gun movement, and other possible events. 2GIG notification sensors expand the 2GIG circle of protection, providing additional peace of mind to property owners.
The smart area partitioning feature is available via OTA or USB for existing GC3 owners and new GC3 panel buyers.
With 2GIG Smart Areas security systems, the benefits of partitioned security are now available to more home and business owners in an easy-to-use, stand-alone wireless system.
