Technology never ceases to grow, and there are innovations being marketed each day from the companies that are not only making your life easier but also keeping you safe. AT&T is ready to do whatever it takes to stay in the race of technology and bring out the best possible services for their consumers that will help in retaining the consumers. That is one of the top reasons that AT&T is offering unbelievable prices for some of its services that are not only priced really good but are also unmatched in terms of quality and convenience.
With the evolution of technology, there is a boom about home technologies that are making our lives not only more convenient but adding a digital layer of security to the homes as well. AT&T has played their part by adding AT&T digital life equipment to the list of services provided by them that includes smart locking and CCTV cameras for your home that is controlled by your mobile phone and you can access these devices remotely no matter where you are. The service offers a number of features and perks that you can enjoy at a fairly nominal price such as:
Certified Installation and Monitoring
Your home is monitored by professionals round the clock. That means you can have peace of mind at all times that you are safe from any burglary attempts. Not only that, upon subscription you will get standard installation by a certified professional from AT&T without needing to pay any additional installation costs.
Convenient application
They offer a complete application that keeps you connected to your home security system from any place in the world. As long as you have an active internet connection on your mobile phone, you cannot only lock/unlock those smart locks and monitor their status but also remotely access those CCTV cameras on your application. You can also record any videos or take photos from these cameras on your mobile phone anytime you want.
Smart Alerts
You can set up alerts’ settings according to your preference and you can get alerts on your email or through SMS anytime something happens. For example, you can set an alert option when your lock is opened manually without using the app, and it will instantly trigger an alert on your mobile phone so you can be aware of your home at all times.
Activity Log
Activity Log allows you to keep an eye on all the activities that have taken place on the home. This means that you can keep a track of how many times the locks have been locked and unlocked so you can be assured that there are no attempts of entering your home while you were not present.
Reuse AT&T Digital Life Equipment
Although, they charge you a minimal fee for the whole plan and it is worth keeping the security of your home. However, if you choose to cancel with them, you will need to pay a cancellation fee that would include paying off for the equipment that is used in your home. The only drawback with that is, that these cameras and smart systems are programmed to worth with AT&T only, and no matter what other plan or internet connection you might have, there is no turnaround to use them with any other service if you wish to cancel. The only way to reuse them is if you plan on subscribing again with AT&T digital life services. However, there are different types of equipment that you can use for various purposes and a breakdown of such equipment would be:
Smoke Alarms/CO2 detectors
These detectors are standalone devices and will keep on working until they have a battery in them. Make sure to replace the batteries on time for them to keep working. However, they will not trigger an alarm to the fire station since they are not connected with the network anymore. They have their own alarms as well that will work perfectly.
Cameras
Cameras and locks cannot work with any other Wi-Fi or internet network and they are of no good. There are some solutions on the internet that might work for you if you want to reprogram the equipment, but such solutions have high-risk rates and you might end up losing the equipment.
I excluded my Yale door locks and put them on my Samsung SmartThings along with the thermostat. Only thing I couldn’t use was the smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and window sensors. So part of your right up is wrong.
can you share how you reprogrammed the cameras/garage openers and locks if you had any of those
Jeff,
I just bought a home and inherited an AT&T Digital Life from the previous owner. I’m desperately trying to find a smoke detector since they don’t sell them anymore. It sounds like you have an AT&T smoke detector that you will no longer use with Digital Life. Are you open to selling the smoke detector? I would love to purchase it from you if it still works so that I can connect it to my AT&T Digital Life System.
Can I add the thermostat to ring alarm?
