Security Systems News

The annually published “Security Dealer Survey” by Parks Associates, a market research and consulting company that covers the residential security industry from both a consumer and dealer perspective, found over 70 percent of U.S. security dealers offer services other than traditional monitoring.

“The survey was fielded to security dealers in September and October of 2018, with a total of 208 participants,” Dina Abdelrazik, senior analyst, Parks Associates, told SSN. Reponses revealed 42 percent of security dealers report offering video verification services and 21 percent offer aging-in-place/independent living solutions. The survey additionally asked about other service offerings, including home network, cybersecurity, PERS and more.
