Smart-Home Pros Love Ring Doorbells, but Doorbird Surges – CE Pro 100 Brand Analysis

Front-door security swelled over the past year, as the largest smart-home pros picked up more brands of video doorbells and smart locks. The category itself got a big mass-market boost from giants like Amazon and Walmart, which introduced systems for unattended access for in-home deliveries.

In the video-doorbell category, more CE Pro 100 dealers offered Ring in the past year, even though the products do not integrate well with traditional home-automation systems. A more integration-friendly brand, Doorbird, surged over the year, gaining about 30 new dealers among North America's largest smart-home pros.

Next year, look for Google to make its first appearance in the front-door security categories, as the company just began shipping the new Nest Hello smart doorbell and Nest x Yale lock, both of which employ the Thread networking standard and Nest's own Weave home-automation protocol.

Long before any of these popular consumer brands hit the market, companies like Channel Vision and Holovision dominated the channel in the video-entry category. Their market share among the largest installation companies continues to dwindle, although 20% of CE Pro 100 dealers did name Holovision as an “access control” vendor in the 2018 CE Pro 100 Brand Analysis (below).

The top four smart-lock companies in the 2018 CE Pro 100 Brand Analysis — Yale, Kwikset, Schlage (Allegion), and August –kept their positions from the prior year, and each of the brands collected a significant number of new dealers. Assa Abloy, the parent company of #1 lock brand Yale, is becoming a powerhouse in the smart-home channel, acquiring #4 brand August in 2017. Last year, August introduced a “Pro” version of its retrofit door locked featuring by Bluetooth and Z-Wave communications.

Previous Year

 

“Access Control” can be a confusing category, especially since the relatively new categories of video doorbells and smart locks have skyrocketed over the past few years. As such, CE Pro 100 dealers name a hodge-podge of products from a variety of categories as their preferred “access control” brands. Home-automation companies (Control4, Savant, Crestron) , smart-lock vendors (Yale, Kwikset), traditional alarm manufacturers (Honeywell, Interlogix) and what the industry considers “traditional” access control vendors (Holovision, Siedle), all have a place in the “access control” category.

All of the major home-automation companies have improved their integrations with front-door communications and camera systems. Control4 continues to improve upon the video-intercom software it launched in 2015.
