Parks Associates estimates annual revenue for professionally monitored security will exceed $15 billion by 2022.
Networked cameras also give DIY options to households that have eschewed professional security options to avoid installation or monthly fees. Parks Associates surveys indicate that households both with and without security systems could consider the remote monitoring and notification services provided by smart products as a sufficient substitute for professional monitoring.
