The entry-level package costs $29.99 a month plus $149.99 for equipment and installation while the pricier package costs $39.99 a month and $249.99 for the gear and installation. The basic package includes 24/7 home monitoring, a wireless keypad, a remote some sensors and an indoor siren. Add-on devices, including water leakage sensors, wireless cameras and thermostats are available for purchase can be added to the plan for a monthly fee. Everything can be controlled through Digital Life mobile app that’s available on Android, iOS, and Windows Phone.
That’s not crazy considering you get an integrated app that’s actually quite nice to use for controlling everything, but it’s still a significant investment: especially given the closed nature of the ecosystem.
