Self-installed security solutions have the potential to significantly lower the cost of security, create new monitoring use cases, and, in doing so, expand the market beyond the traditional 20-25% of U.S. households that have professionally monitored security.

These solutions do have advantages with lower-cost, contract-free monitoring options that will attract new consumers, but adopting these new offering without eroding the base of traditional customers requires careful navigation of the current business ecosystem.

Speakers address new players, business models, and partnerships in the DIY smart product category.
