NEW PARKS ASSOCIATES WHITEPAPER ADDRESSES SECURITY SYSTEM INNOVATIONS ENABLED BY SMART HOME CONNECTIVITY.

Parks Associates, an internationally recognized market research and consulting company, has released a whitepaper noting that home security consumers are looking for solutions to reduce false alarms.

“Security system adoption has steadily increased in recent years, reaching 36 percent of U.S. internet households,” said Chris White, Senior Analyst, Parks Associates.

Advancements in security system technology have increased, and adoption has grown, particularly with affluent young adults and families, according to Parks Associates.

“New solutions include smart security cameras with two-way talk, neighborhood safety apps that provide communal surveillance, and personal security apps that give users on-demand access to certified bodyguards and safety professionals,” White noted.
