“DIY systems offer safety and security at a low cost that will increase adoption over time, especially as self-monitored options become more commonplace,” said Elizabeth Parks, President, Parks Associates. “More affordable devices in the market will appeal to cost-conscious consumers, especially cameras, which are the leading device attached to a security system. Among networked camera owners, 29% report that a less expensive brand was an important consideration during purchase.
