Smart home features are helping security dealers increase monthly revenues and also attract new customers. According to research from Parks Associates, 70% of U.S. security dealers currently install or plan to install some type of interactive smart home device or system within their residential offerings in the next 12 months. Additionally, nearly three-quarters of security dealers offer interactivity with their devices, which can be controlled through smartphones, tablets, and computers.

The firm’s Security Dealer Survey: Emerging Trends in Security Systems Sales and Services analyzes a variety of trends relevant to security dealers, including top challenges in the business environment, intended product offerings, and factors related to interactive services. The research contains recommendations as well as a detailed section of firmographics, including systems installed, monitoring affiliations, revenues, revenue expectations, and sales breakdowns by market.
