Consumers have a growing expectation for smart home technology and these new devices help differentiate with modern lifestyle marketing and practical benefits.

Parks Associates data consistently finds that security/safety use cases resonate among all U.S. broadband households, and we anticipate seeing networked cameras added to more properties.
