Life goes Digital with AT&T's security system (pictures)
AT&T Digital Life offers sharp home security and automation for a little more cash.
AT&T Digital Life is a fully integrated security and home automation system, with personalizable packages.
Digital Life is professionally installed and monitored. Motion sensors are basic security features in any package.
This outdoor camera can be programmed to record anytime it senses motion -- a great way to find out who or what keeps tipping over the garbage cans.
All of the devices around a Digital Life home can be monitored and controlled remotely with a smartphone, tablet or laptop.
The "Programs" feature is simple to use, but encourages creativity. Here's one pretty complex program I made in under five minutes.
You can also create programs using your phone. The online portal and smartphone app each offer flexible control with manageable interfaces.
This smart plug is one of the small touches that works well. Unlike comparable standalone products, it features two outlets -- one always on, and one remote controllable.
The thermostat works well, but AT&T is already working with partner Nest to bring the Nest Learning Thermostat into Digital Life's system by early 2016.
Every device can be easily controlled from the smartphone app, and each can be tapped to examine its particular capabilities.
The online portal offers access equivalent to the mobile app.
By the end of installation, your home will be covered in gadgets like this door sensor.
Smart locks mean you can give individual codes to different family and friends that grant differing levels of access, or even trigger different programs in the home.
Dozens of gadgets and gizmos are available, ranging from basic smoke and CO detectors to high-end cameras like Samsung's SmartCam HD Pro.
AT&T Digital Life packages range in price from a $40/mo ($50 install fee) plan to a $65/mo ($200 install fee) plan. Check out our full review for more information.
