Smart Home Devices Help Grow Number of Households With Monitored Security, Parks Associates Reports

“By the end of 2015, nearly six million professionally monitored homes will also have smart home control as part of their security system,” said Tom Kerber, Director, Research, Home Controls & Energy, Parks Associates. “Smart home is firmly entrenched as part [of] the U.S. security industry, thanks to both push and pull factors. Companies such as Vivint, AT&T and ADT have been aggressive in offering smart home features with their systems, while security owners are open to new technologies. Security households are 150% more likely than non-security households to state that they keep up with technological innovations and like to own the latest devices.”
