While DIY remains the entry point for many households, Parks Associates’ research shows that 29% of consumers ultimately turn to professionals for help, even if they first attempt self-installation.

Parks Associates reports that Net Promoter Scores (NPS) for smart cameras reach 49 when installed professionally, compared to 41 for self-installed units.
