Since July 2022, there has been a 5% increase in adoption of either a video doorbell or a camera without a system, which represents approximately six million homes that have added this type of solution in the past 18 months.

Key Points: 
  • Ring and SimpliSafe now account for one-fifth of the professional monitoring market for systems, as both companies have steadily added subscribers since 2019.
  • New options are emerging for consumers; for example, in 2023, Residential Security Dashboard started tracking Noonlight, which provides monitoring services for Wyze, Canary, Roku, and Eufy products.
  • "Consumers continue to buy security solutions, but the growth is coming from security devices, where households buy a networked camera and/or a video doorbell, rather than a traditional security system," said Elizabeth Parks , President & CEO, Parks Associates.
  • At the same time, the amount from paid security services attached to a security system dropped in the second half of 2023.
