The firm’s latest whitepaper, “Home Security: A Redefined Market,” finds the rise of interactive services and DIY installation are two key trends defining the home security market, accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, lower prices and new smart home solutions.
WHENEVER A SECURITY DEALER OR INTEGRATOR can add value to a traditional security system through a service, there is an opportunity to offer it as a chargeable service to generate recurring monthly revenue (RMR).
Napco’s StarLink Series cellular and IP alarm communications solutions line, all with $100 2G trade-up incentive, now includes the StarLink Connect communicators with a full virtual keypad app, Z-Wave connected home remote services and SMS/MMS text and video alert notifications to dealers’ accounts, with full universal support of Honeywell and DSC panels.
The newest release of Honeywell Total Connect Remote Services Software app includes push notifications for iOS devices, and it also integrates with Apple TV, giving homeowners new ways to keep tabs on their dwellings.
Interactive security systems are now table stakes for dealers. There are more options and opportunities in interactive services than ever before, and dealers need to learn more and offer more.
Three providers of interactive services — Honeywell, Telguard, and Alarm.com — share what new offerings the security dealer can expect to find at ISC West.
Today, it’s no surprise that some homeowners want the peace of mind of security and the convenience of a smart home without paying for professionally installed products and the monthly cost of monitoring.
