According to Parks Associates research covered by SecurityInfoWatch, pro monitoring is also gaining traction as households seek hybrid solutions that balance automation with human verification, bridging security and lifestyle management.
The research highlights how home security is merging with broader smart-home functionality. Sixty-eight percent of respondents consider remote access via smartphone apps essential, and half believe security systems should be required in all new-home construction.
That expectation aligns with recent Parks Associates data, projecting the U.S. smart-home market to reach $15 billion by 2029, driven by demand for professionally installed, interoperable systems.
Nearly half (49%) say 24/7 professional monitoring is a must-have feature, though some remain cautious about third-party access to camera feeds.
