Alarm.com Image Sensor for
2GIG GC3 Installation Guide
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The Image Sensor for 2GIG GC3 panels is a pet immune PIR (passive
infrared) motion detector with a built-in camera. The sensor is
designed to capture images during alarm or non-alarm events.
Users can also initiate image capture on-demand to Peek-In on their
property. Images are stored locally and uploaded either automatically
when motion is captured during alarm events or manually when
requested by the user. Once uploaded, images are available for
viewing on the Alarm.com Website or an Alarm.com Smart phone
app. The sensor is battery powered, all wireless and simple to install
and operate. A system with a 2GIG Cell Radio Module connected to
an Alarm.com account with service plan subscription is required. For
additional information on product features, functionality and service
plan options, visit the Alarm.com Dealer Site (www.alarm.com/dealer).

HARDWARE INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT: For smoothest installation, learn in one Image Sensor at
a time. Insert batteries only after initiating learn mode at the panel.
1. Create Alarm.com Customer Account - Create Alarm.com
Customer Account- Using the 2GIG Cell Radio Module serial
number, create an Alarm.com customer account on the Alarm.
com Dealer Site (www.alarm.com/dealer) with an Image Sensor
capable service plan.
2. Verify module installation - Ensure that the communication module
is connected and installed properly inside the control panel.
3. Verify XCVR3 installation - Ensure the XCVR3 is connected properly
to the control panel terminal blocks.
a. Red – Smoke+
a. Black – Common (GND)
a. Green – RX
a. White – TX
For more information on how to install the XCVR3, please
reference the XCVR3 installation instructions included with the
XCVR3.
4. Register Module and Test - Power up the panel and initiate a
cell phone test to ensure the communication module is properly
installed and communicating with Alarm.com
5. Enroll Sensor in Panel
a. Enter "Installer Toolbox" and go to "System Configuration" and
then "Wireless Zones". Choose an unused zone.
b. Select the RF sensor type. (Recommended: 04- Interior
Follower, 10- Interior w/ Delay, 23- No Response Type)
c. Select RF sensor equipment type. ((2) Motion)
d. Select RF sensor equipment code. (9999 Alarm.com Image
Sensor)
e. Press "Learn Device" to put the panel into learn mode. Power
up the Image Sensor by inserting the batteries. Use a paper
clip to hold the sensor's reset button until the LED flashes
rapidly for at least two seconds. It will take at least 10 seconds
for this to occur. Note that a 1 second fast blink may occur
during the reset attempt. This signals that the sensor is not
enrolled in a network. The reset button must be held for at
least a full 10 seconds.
f. Select RF sensor equipment age.
g. Select RF sensor transmission delay.
h. Construct RF sensor voice descriptor.
i. Select RF sensor reports. (Recommended: (1) Enabled)
j. Select RF sensor supervised. (Recommended: (1) Enabled)
k. Select RF sensor chime.
l. Continue to edit next sensor or select "Return to System
Configuration" and click "Save" to save the changes and exit.
m. Perform a cell phone test to ensure that the updated
equipment list is sent to Alarm.com.
The sensor is now learned into the panel. After enrollment, be sure to
keep the sensor and panel powered so the sensor can complete an
initialization process with Alarm.com. This process will take several
minutes. Images cannot be captured until initialization is complete. To
verify that this process is complete, enter the "Image Sensors" menu in
the "Installer Toolbox". Select the Image Sensor of interest and verify
"Rules Status: Synced".
6. Choose Sensor Location and Mount
a. Determine sensor mounting location based on installation
scenario and criteria noted in the "Installation Guidelines."
For best image capture, the target capture areas should be
centered in the frame. (e.g. If customer wants to capture
people coming through door, the doorway should be centered
in camera/PIR view.)
b. Verify RF communication prior to mounting- To verify that
the Image Sensor communicates with the control panel in its
mounting location, enter "System Test" through the "Installer
Toolbox" and trigger the Image Sensor.
