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.

  • "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.
