 If you were looking for a home security system, chances are you're looking at the Honeywell Lyric controller and the 2GIG GC3 wireless security systems. Today we'll be going in depth, comparing and contrasting these two systems. Please, if you have any questions, comments, or concerns, leave them directly below in the comments box, and keep in mind, GeoArm can take over your existing security systems, which saves customers time and money. The Lyric controller, which serves as the main control hub for the security system, still has a 7-inch touchscreen display, but has upgraded from the previous L7000 with a new screen resolution of 1024x600, and users, if they wish, can set up voice commands to verbally communicate to the Lyric controller to start for stop, security, or home automation functions. No other system has this capability on our list. Flexible monitoring features such as Wi-Fi only, cellular only, or dual-path communications. This gives the end users the choice to whether they want to sacrifice reliability for lower cost of our monitoring rates. Lyric has added a 2-megapixel front-mounted camera so that when the system is disarmed, it can text or email a notification to end users with the Wi-Fi communicator activated and Total Connect 2.0 services. With the Lyric controller, you can view up to 8 cameras with its dual quad-screen capabilities, which is unmatched. The Lyric controller has added a new line of wireless encrypted sensors called SIX sensors. The two major benefits of SIX technology is the encryption of all of its devices, and lastly, the new SIX smoke offers the one go all go feature. One go all go means any time one SIX smoke is triggered, all of your other connected SIX smoke detectors will sound. Out of all the wireless systems GOR offers, the Lyric controller is the only system able to perform this task. Installation of the Lyric controller scores great remarks because all the end user has to do is slide the cellular communicator into place, install the backup battery, and decide whether they want to wall mount or desk mount the control panel. The only downside to the Honeywell Lyric security systems that we could find was the SIX series sensors are a little bit bulky and there's no option for an external hard-wire siren like there has been in the past. The 2GIG GC3 wireless security and automation system. With 2GIG being a well-respected company in the industry with their previous GC2 system, other companies began to release more modern and robust systems which meant it was time for 2GIG to release the GC3 system. GC3 moved to a much larger 7-inch touchscreen display with a screen resolution of 800x480. The navigational software has been upgraded to allow for much easier user interactions which has been a huge addition. Installation of the GC3 panel is very user-friendly. All end users will have to do is install the sled-style cellular communicator, wire the power transformer, and decide whether they want to table mount or wall mount the panel. Two points that we discovered about the GC3 that stand out from the other contenders are the GC3 has the loudest stock siren coming in at 105 decibels, panels on our list coming in at 232 total devices. The most expensive panel on our list and it falls short in some of the feature categories such as though the GC3 has an internal Wi-Fi card, at this point it's not quite activated which limits its overall communication paths.
