Recent insights from the Electronic Security Association (ESA) and Parks Associates reveal a surge in popularity for connected cameras and video doorbells, aligning with heightened post-pandemic concerns about home security. As demand for residential security solutions continues to rise, it’s essential for security businesses to stay abreast of trends and innovations in this rapidly evolving landscape.

According to Parks Associates, nearly 40% of U.S. internet households have embraced some form of security solution. Smart cameras and video doorbells have some of the highest adoption rates, with 14% of U.S. internet households reporting owning a video doorbell, and 13% owning a smart camera, per ESA data commissioned by Resideo.
