Comcast Expands into Home Security Biz

June 06, 2011

The technology behind the system is slightly different from traditional home security systems from companies, such as ADT. The Comcast Xfinity Home Security system works over a broadband connection rather than a phone connection. And as a result it's able to offer the video service and remote management. The company uses cellular networks as a back up to the broadband connectivity to ensure uptime.

The home security market is worth about $8 billion annually, according to Parks Associates.
