Research firm Parks Associates estimates that nearly 24 percent of U.S. broadband households will have an IP camera by 2020, while more than 50 percent will have a smart home controller and 26 percent will have a home security system.
“Companies such as Samsung are beginning to embed smart home controllers into their consumer entertainment products, meaning consumers who buy a smart TV or smart appliance will be bringing these solutions into their homes, often without understanding the full extent of their capabilities,” Tim Kerber, director, research, home controls and energy at Parks, says. “These smart home capabilities will come into play as consumers adopt other smart home devices, such as smart lighting and IP cameras.”
