2GIG Gun Motion Detector

Smart Shield Systems

2GIG Gun Motion Detector

Know immediately if a stored firearm is disturbed. The 2GIG Gun Motion Detector™ combines a 3-digit combination trigger guard with a built-in wireless motion sensor that notifies your security panel (and the Alarm.com app) when the firearm is moved. It’s California DOJ Gun Safety Device–certified, designed for unloaded firearms only, and communicates on 345 MHz with up to ~350 ft open-air range.

Why Choose This with Smart Shield Systems


  • Pro setup & training: we enroll the detector to your panel, set notifications/automations, and review safe-handling practices (device is not a substitute for a safe).

  • Compatibility verified: we confirm operation with your panel—GC2, GC2e, GC3, GC3e, or EDGE—and label events clearly in your app history.

  • Reliable performance checks: range testing where the firearm is stored (closets, safes can attenuate RF), battery documentation, and periodic functional testing.

  • Fits your collection: form factor designed to fit many handguns, rifles, and shotguns; we confirm fit before commissioning.

Frequently Asked Questions


Does this replace a gun safe?


No. It adds movement notification and a combo trigger guard, but it is not a substitute for a compliant safe or lock box. Follow all local storage laws.


Will it work inside a safe?


Possibly. Heavy steel can reduce wireless range. We test signal from your storage location and recommend repeaters or alternate placement if needed.


What panels does it work with?


Retail and distributor listings note compatibility with GC2, GC2e, GC3, GC3e, and EDGE (non-encrypted 345 MHz).


What battery does it use and how long will it last?


A CR2032 coin cell; typical life is up to ~5 years. We log the install date and set battery reminders.


Is it DOJ certified?


Yes—listed as California Gun Safety (DOJ) Device Certified by the manufacturer.
