Parks Associates Research Shows Nearly 40% Of US Internet Households Report Owning A Security Solution

Parks Associates has updated its Residential Security Tracker, assessing the residential security market as well as offering insights on expansion into the MDU market. Consumer research reveals that nearly 40% of US internet households owned some sort of security solution in Q2 2022. 7% of US internet households own a network camera or video doorbell but no security system.

“Together, these smart home products add to the market for security solutions, as millions of households find a camera solution is ‘safe enough’ for their needs,” said Jennifer Kent, Vice President, Research, Parks Associates. “The current market for residential security solutions is a mix of devices, systems, installation methods, and attached services that offer consumers more choice than ever before.”

In the firm’s July 2022 survey, Parks Associates expanded its definition of home security services to better capture fee-based self-monitoring and video storage services. Thirty-one percent of internet households reported owning a security system, and 18% of US internet households reported subscribing to a professional monitoring service.

Parks Associates research captures substantially more fee-based self-monitored households than prior survey findings and is in line with our current view of the market,” Kent said. “Installation trends continue to hold where self-installed systems and pro-installed systems account for a similar portion of the market.”
