According to new research from Parks Associates, U.S.  households with network cameras now own more than three of these devices on  average, a significant increase from early 2018 when the average was less than  two. 
In addition, the firm’s new “Smart  Product Assessment” research found that over one-third of those who bought  a smart video doorbell in the past 12 months are first-time buyers. 
"Households with smart home devices continue to purchase additional  devices, driving growth as they embrace DIY options and seek to protect  multiple access points and locations in their home," said Elizabeth  Parks, President, Parks Associates. "Companies can maximize their approach  in this market by attracting new buyers while also developing and marketing  features and use cases that address multidevice ownership."
Parks Associates will be hosting its annual CONNECTIONS  Summit next week in cooperation with CES 2021, which is being held  virtually this year. The event will feature sessions on smart home technology  and services, connected health, data privacy, value-added services, and home  security.
