The  plain vanilla version of Digital Life includes 24/7 home monitoring, 24-hour battery backup, a wireless keypad, keychain remote, recessed sensors and an indoor siren for $29.99 a month, plus $149.99 for equipment and installation.

Additional options include motion and carbon monoxide sensors, glass break sensor, smoke sensor or takeover kit. Automation packages include a camera package, where users can view live video from inside and outside of the home; and a door package, where users can remotely open doors, among other options.
