2gig GC2E Security and Control Alarm Panel, Enhanced Security, 5" Touch Screen, (2GIG-GC2E-345)

Installed quickly. Nice size screen that is easy to read.

Good product but didn’t come with all the parts I expected. The product is top notch because I ordered one years ago. Hard to install

I have installed 2gig products for years and this panel just isn't good. It's decent but why bother with the gc2e when the regular gc2 is better? The GC3 is a million times better than this panel.Things I hate about this panel:The touchscreen!! The regular gc2 lets you calibrate the touch screen and is much better than this screen. I usually program things really fast with the regular gc2 and the GC3 because the screens on those are responsive and calibrated correctly. I make lots of mistakes with these panels and it's not just me! I train other techs on how to use these panels and they have the same issue. I even see customers try to punch their user code in and because the screen is horrible, it'll choose a different number when I can clearly see them pressing the right number.The encrypted part of this panel is pointless if you want additional keypads. So to add a TS1 keypad, you need a 900mhz transceiver BUT that transceiver won't work the the encrypted sensors so you have to use regular sensors. That defeats the whole purpose of having the GC2E panel.

Bought a new house with this Nortek 2Gig control panel pre-installed by the builder. It broke within a month. Called Nortek to see if I could get customer support and was told they do not offer support if you buy through a builder. Needless to say I do not recommend this product and will be looking for an alternative.
