The Smart Money: Residential Security Continues Market Shift

Parks Associates’ data shows that consumers no longer view security as a fixed installation, but as an adaptive service. AI-enhanced cameras, integrated subscriptions, and flexible monitoring options have changed the consumer relationship between “safety” of the home and the providers of these products and services.

From 2022 to 2025, device-only adoption has doubled from 7% to 14%, which translates to about 17 million households that own a networked camera, video doorbell, or floodlight camera. Paid service adoption across security systems and security devices also increased from 30% in 2022 to 35% in 2025.

Professional monitoring of security systems still commands most subscriptions (57% of paid services), yet self-monitoring of systems continues to grow, representing nearly one-fifth of the paid base. Among households without systems, 66% of video doorbell owners and 63% of smart camera owners pay for at least one service, most commonly video storage and emergency alerts to users’ phones. This trend highlights a critical dynamic: consumers equate ongoing payment with functionality, not necessarily monitoring 24/7.
