• Built-in residential gateway to the internet.

• Handles up to 8 streams of audio and photos, or 4 streams of video, independently and simultaneously.

• ActivLink software that automates the copying of digital media files to the DigitaLife Server.

• Gracenote Media Management software, which automatically names and categorizes a music collection by artist, album and genre.

• Network Manager, a browser-based control console for managing network and media settings.

The DigitaLife System looks cool but it covers only entertainment area of smart home and maybe security a bit (support of IP/network cameras). So, you have to integrate the DigitalLife into some home control system of enjoy just the entertainment automation. Also, The DigitaLife System supports only the Panasonic BB-HCM311A wired network camera and the Panasonic BL-C10A wired network camera. But they are not provide PoE (Power over Ethernet) which is very useful.
