As of last year, at least 18% of U.S. households — or at least 25-27 million — had video doorbells, according to Dallas-based market research firm Parks Associates. That’s up from around 7% of households in 2018.

California’s video doorbell usage is “about the same as the national average,” according to Parks Associates — not surprising since Ring was born in a Pacific Palisades garage. Hence, it’s likely that hundreds, if not thousands, of Pacific Palisades and Altadena residents watched homes burn in real time.

As of 2024, Hawthorne-based Ring doorbells continue to dominate in U.S. market share, followed by ADT, Blink, Simplisafe and Google Nest, according to Parks Associates.
