DIY Cameras Account for Majority of Smart Home IP Camera Sales in the U.S.

Research firm Parks Associates estimates 7.7 million standalone and all-in-one IP security cameras will be sold in the United States this year, with an estimated $889 million in revenues.

“IP cameras are key security-related devices and provide peace of mind to consumers. As such, these devices are consistently among the most popular smart home devices,” says Dina Abdelrazik, research analyst, Parks Associates. “Currently 9% of U.S. broadband households own one, but advances in image recognition and ease of self-installation, combined with a strong user experience, are driving increased adoption, with retail channels (online and in-store) starting to dominate sales.”
