US Interactive Residential Security Competitive Landscape

The roster of participants in the US Interactive Security Market continues to grow with early participants, e.g. ADT, Alarm.com and Comcast being joined by a host of other MSOs including Cox and Time Warner Cable and AT&T among others. Strategy Analytics estimates that there will be over 14 million homes in the US with professionally monitored interactive security systems generating more than $10 billion in revenues annually. Competition in the US interactive security market will continue to heat up with the expansion of existing services into adjacent markets such as energy management and personal emergency response systems (PERS) and remote healthcare services. This database presents Strategy Analytics' compilation of facts and figures about selected key industry participants. It will be updated periodically for firms currently profiled as well as expanded to cover additional participants and enhanced with more details about the number of installations achieved by the major players.

The database is organized into four TABs:
Platform capabilities – Software platforms are the foundation of any interactive security offering and are the basis for differentiation in capabilities offered by competitors. Two platforms, AlertMe and MiOS are currently not the basis for security offering in the US, but could be; hence, their inclusion.
Brand Comparisons – there are literally hundreds of brands of security systems available in the US. This TAB compares selected brands of interactive security, as well as, Lowe’s Iris offering and Verizon’s Home Monitoring and Control. Both of these are self-monitoring systems and services and are included just for purposes of comparison.
Smart Home Sys + Svc Packages – a comparison of service and device bundles and prices for selected interactive security services, as well as, for Lowe’s Iris and Verizon’s Home Monitoring and Control.
Price Comparisons – a summary of prices for kit and monitoring fees across the services compared in the above TABs.
