A report from Parks Associates and Xfinity Home shows DIY security options have spurred homeowners to pay more attention to security than they did five years ago.

Parks Associates has released its annual list of the top 10 streaming services; Netflix, Amazon remain at the top.

Smart home services are starting to attract prospective residents to multi-dwelling units, which in turn has led property managers to start exploring the control and automation market.

Recent market developments like low-cost smart home devices, emerging technologies, and DIY solutions are all changing the residential security landscape.

Giles Sutton, co-interim CEO of CEDIA, cites association’s achievements in certification, workforce development in face of pandemic.

Much like individual homes, multi-dwelling units allow residents to personalize their space with custom smart home tech like security, lighting, and automation.
