Taking Security Innovation to the Edge

The 2GIG EDGE™ panel sets a new benchmark in form and function with its sleek design that is thinner and more powerful than ever. Our on
the edge processing technology is the difference that enables touch-free disarm and the industry-first home security system with built-in face
recognition and analytics within the panel itself – so private data stays private for greater peace of mind.
Our cutting-edge enhancements include double the viewing area, higher resolution, two speakers and dual microphones, delivering superb audio
quality and 2-way voice communication. With smart home capabilities, the 2GIG EDGE panel is your competitive advantage in selling the evolution
of security and automation.

independent control. This option is disabled out of the box and can be enabled at the panel or remotely using Alarm.com dealer tools.
»
Security Codes: The system supports a maximum of 100 unique, programmable, security codes for accessing system functions. You
are provided with one (1) Master User Code, one (1) Duress Code, and one (1) Installer Code (reserved for use by 2GIG alarm dealers and
installers), and the ability to create 98 additional user codes for accessing the system.

Z-Wave™ and Z-Wave Plus™ and S2 Compatibility: Installers (and Master users, if configured on the system) can add
up to 232 smart home devices to communicate with the 2GIG EDGE Panel using the Z- Wave and Z-Wave Plus wireless communication
protocol. The 2GIG EDGE Panel can be included and operated in any Z-Wave network with other Z-Wave certified devices from other
manufacturers and/or other applications. All non-battery operated nodes within the network will act as repeaters regardless of vendor
to increase reliability of the network. This device is a security enabled Z-Wave Plus product that is able to use encrypted Z-Wave Plus
messages to communicate to other security enabled Z-Wave Plus products.
»

Introduction to Smart Areas™

Smart Areas is 2GIG's partitioning solution. Partitioning is the process of dividing security sections of a home or building into smaller areas so
that users can arm some sections of the house while leaving other areas disarmed. This provides home and building owners both security and
convenience, as it allows them to walk through their structure without concern of tripping alarms for areas they'd like to keep secure and armed.
Some examples of partitioning use cases include:
»
Arming a section of a room that contains a safe that contains gun collections or valuables. These areas may not be accessed as
frequently as the other areas in the room.
»
Having a portion of the home designated for use by others, such as guests or property rentals. Partitioning enables the homeowner to arm
some sections of the house they'd like to be 'off limits' to other people.
»
Disarming the garage while the homeowner is at work to allow a package to be delivered and stored safely on the premises.
»
Secure swimming pool or spa area to help reduce the risk of drowning accidents. In California, it is now required that newly-built pools
and spas include at least one safety measure, including an alarm.
Smart Areas was designed for ease of setup and everyday use. For installation, the process for adding device enrollments has been simplified. All
smart area parameters are displayed on the screen for quick scanning. This reduces time for the installer, who with legacy partitioning systems
would have to memorize the codes and work flow, in addition to working through each parameter in a list to verify them. With the addition of
Smart Areas, the 2GIG EDGE panel becomes a self-contained partitioning panel, complete with user interface, controller, wireless transceiver, and
communicator (cell radio and/or Wi-Fi) all-in-one package. This reduces complexity for the installer. All of the equipment is self-contained; there
are no modules that require additional set up procedures.
For the end user, Smart Areas is a one-touch solution that provides Global System Access. They can now access any partition/Smart Area with
appropriate authorization. 'Arm/Disarm' and 'Emergency/Panic' functions can be accessed quickly. No matter where in the menu a user finds
themselves, all they need to do is press the 'Home' button and they immediately return to the 'Arm/Disarm' screen. Past partitioning examples
required users to swipe from screen to screen. This added time, complexity and confusion for the user. The simplified user interface will reduce
confusion and frustration for those who may not interact with their security system every day. With the common tasks up front, it's easy to select
without having to memorize.
