First IoT Purchase? Security Cameras. Internet-connected security cameras are likely the first smart home purchase consumers make. So says a report from Parks Associates which notes that 9 percent of households in the U.S. owned a connected security camera at the end of last year—with nearly half logging in to scope their home almost daily. The research firm believes that the cameras were the first smart home purchase for more than half of those buyers.
