What Happens When Amazon Acquires a ‘Real’ Security Company Like Vivint, Guardian or Brink’s?

Professional security dealers report 36% of their alarm systems include networked cameras, according to smart-home research firm Parks Associates.

The pros even manage to attach smart thermostats to 16% of their security jobs. It would be surprising if Amazon.com had this kind of success with attachment sales.

From the article "What Happens When Amazon Acquires a ‘Real’ Security Company Like Vivint, Guardian or Brink’s?" by Julie Jacobson.
