Record Number of Vivint Customers Opting for Smart Home Services

According to research from Parks Associates, nearly 40 percent of U.S. households are planning to buy a smart home product in the next 12 months.1 Many of these consumers are turning to full-service smart home providers, citing frustration with the high upfront costs and the difficult installation of standalone, do-it-yourself (DIY) smart home products.

“The majority of smart products are integrated into professionally installed security systems,” said Tom Kerber, research director at Parks Associates. “Our data shows continuing interest in connected devices. Some devices, such as a smart thermostat or networked security cameras, have strong leads over other devices.”
