Parks Associates: 60% of New Security Systems Are Self-Installed

DIY security systems are taking a larger share of the residential security market due to growing popularity among security households, according to Parks Associates.

The research firm’s DIY Home Security Tracker notes that among consumers who acquired their security system less than two years ago, 60% are self-installed, compared to only 7% of systems purchased more than six years ago.

“Most DIY households use professional monitoring services, but currently 63% of these DIY systems have had their monitoring subscription for less than two years,” says Dina Abdelrazik, senior analyst, Parks Associates.

The majority of DIY security owners, Abdelrazik continues, are also self-installing add-on smart home devices. Hence, companies are expanding their product lines to meet consumer demand, including Abode, Array by Hampton and Blue by ADT.

Parks finds a large portion of self-installed security systems have only been installed within the last few years.

“This demand for an easy-to-install, integrated solution is becoming more prevalent in the Apple HomeKit ecosystem, with more DIY security systems and camera-related devices releasing product lines compatible with this ecosystem,” Abdelrazik says.
