“People don’t have any clue who we are,” says Todd Santiago, president of 2GIG Technologies in Lehi. “People are going to see us on this list and say, ‘Umm, who?’” So without further ado … Utah Valley, meet 2GIG, a developer and producer of security and home automation systems. They’re only the No. 1 fastest-growing business in the county. (No big deal.) But in origin, this No. 1 gig started with two. Namely, 2 Guys In a Garage. “The name came from our two founders — Lance Dean and Scott Simon. At their previous company, Lance and Scott were always told not to worry about new startups because it was just two guys in a garage.” Sixty-five employees, $131 million in revenue and installations in more than 700,000 homes by the end of 2012?

Las Vegas, NV — April 2, 2012 —  2GIG, which sells more than 300,000 self-contained security panels per year, is adding a unique feature to its Go!Control systems: built-in DVR capabilities. The company demonstrated the solution during the International Security Conference (ISC West 2012) in Las Vegas. A self-contained security panel is one that includes the security processor, keypad/interface, sensor hub, back-up battery and (usually) built-in GSM module for cellular communications with the central station. Normally, all that is needed is a power source. In addition, most self-contained panels today also include home automation capabilities, with built-in Z-Wave or ZigBee modules. 2Gig was arguably the pioneer of this configuration.

LEHI, UT--(Marketwire - Mar 8, 2012) - Most homeowners rely on security panels just to warn them of break-ins. However, last weekend, over 14,000 customers with 2GIG Technologies' Go!Control and Alarm.com's interactive service received real-time severe weather alerts issued by the National Weather Service about tornado activity. The warnings were delivered directly to the Go!Control panel, giving customers additional time to seek protection from dangerous weather conditions. This new capability extends beyond traditional home break-in protection to alert people of external events that could put their families and belongings at risk. Many people are caught off-guard in severe weather situations because they are not listening to the radio or watching TV when a weather warning is issued. Nocturnal tornadoes are especially dangerous, because it is nearly impossible to see them approaching and many residents are asleep. Alarm.com's Severe Weather Alerts ensure that if a person is inside their home or business he or she will be forewarned when a tornado, severe weather, or fire is headed their way.

To quote Wall Street Journal writer Michael Hsu, “You can’t judge an alarm system by how it looks, but the 2GIG Alarm Kit’s control panel is so much more elegant than any other security solution out there, it’s hard to justify devoting the wall space to anything else.” He goes on to note “The best part about 2GIG is how it integrates with the rest of your house. By adding compatible devices like a thermostat and a lamp module, you can have the system lower the heat and turn lights on or off, when you arm the system.” We invite you to read the full review.
