How home automation could save cable companies

October 13, 2012

According to Parks Associates, which provides analyses on the home security industry, a quarter of all American households are currently equipped with home security systems. The industry’s largest growth occurred in the years just prior to the nation’s housing crisis, according to a report on the Parks Associates website. Since then, however, the home security industry has experienced a marked decline.

But as long as crime exists people will surely want to protect themselves against it, right? Which is why quality home security devices are still a good bet in the marketplace.

From the article, "How home automation could save cable companies" by Madison Parker.
