Smart home offerings have boosted residential security by more than 15 percent in the past two years, according to Parks Associates in its report, “The New Face of Home Security—2015 Edition.”
Smart home offerings also lower attrition rates, CEO Trisha Parks told Security Systems News. “Attrition is the enemy,” she said. “The industry is facing its monsters.”
About 21 million U.S. homes have professionally monitored security and another 1.5 million have monitoring in a second home, Parks said. “Security was in a bind,” she said, but smart home was the agent to move it forward.
