About the 2GIG Go!Control System
Depending on the opons set during the installaon, the 2GIG Go!Control system has the ability to provide three forms
of protecon: burglary, re, and emergency, The system consists of the 2GIG Control Panel, wireless sensors for perimeter
and interior burglary protecon, and wireless smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. In addion, oponal remote control
key fobs, wireless panic buons, and keypads may also be installed.
The system monitors all protecon sensor types (a.k.a., “zones”) and the system’s status. The Control Panel displays
monitoring informaon and controls the alarm siren. The system can also be setup to send alarm and status reports to a
Central Staon and has the capability for two (2)-way voice communicaons with the Remote Service Provider (RSP).
When a security system is installed, insurers may oer discounts on the homeowners’ or renters’ insurance policy.
Although the requirements and discount credits vary for each dierent insurer, users can generally save money as the level
of protecon increases. It is recommended that you inform the end user to check with their insurance agent to determine
if the insurer has specic requirements and/or oers any discount(s).
