7.7 Million Standalone & All-in-One Networked/IP Cameras Expected to Be Sold This Year in U.S.

A recently released report from Parks Associates, “Smart Product Market Assessment: Networked Cameras,” estimates that 7.7 million standalone and all-in-one networked/IP cameras will be sold in the U.S. in 2018, with $889 million in associated revenues. These findings are based on a survey of 10,015 U.S. broadband households that are owners of networked cameras, which was conducted in the fourth quarter of 2017. The data show that 7 percent of networked camera owners who were surveyed purchased their cameras from security dealers, while more than 90 percent were purchased from other sources.
