Does a 2GIG GC Touch Have a Photo Slideshow Screen Saver?

No, the 2GIG GC Touch does'nt include a slideshow or digital picture frame feature. Its screen saver options are limited to the activation of a blank screen after a set period of inactivity. This preserves the display while maintaining focus on the panel's security and smart home functions.

Available Screen Saver Options

The 2GIG GC Touch (available in AT&T LTE and Verizon LTE versions) provides screen management options through the Screen Management menu in Settings. The screen saver function is designed to turn the display blank after a period of inactivity, helping to extend the life of the display and reduce power consumption. Unlike some other systems, like the 2GIG Edge, the GC Touch panel does not support uploading personal photos or displaying rotating images.

Sleep Mode Timer

The Screen Saver settings allow you to configure the Sleep Mode Timer, which determines how long the panel waits before blanking the screen. Available timer options include 30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes, and other preset intervals. When the screen is blank, simply touch the display to wake it and return to the home screen.

To access the screen saver settings:

1. Tap Settings (⚙)
2. Enter code. Enter your Installer Code (1561 by default) or Master Code (1111 by default).
3. Tap Screen Management
4. Select Screen Saver
5. Under "Screen Saver Content" tap "Blank"
6. Under "Sleep Mode Timer" choose from one of the options:
   1. 30 sec(s)
   2. 1 min(s)
   3. 2 min(s) (Default setting)
   4. 5 min(s)
   5. 10 min(s)

Alternative Display Features

While the GC Touch does not offer a photo slideshow, the panel's home screen displays useful information including the current time, date, and local weather conditions when connected to the internet. The 7-inch high-resolution touchscreen provides quick access to security system controls and home automation devices.

Additional display customization options include adjusting the screen brightness, enabling Night Mode for reduced brightness during evening hours, and switching between light and dark themes. These settings help make the panel comfortable to view in various lighting conditions without affecting its core security functionality.

The 2GIG GC Touch screen saver is limited to a blank screen option, focusing on security panel functionality rather than photo display features.
