The number of homes in the United States with private security cameras increased by about 5 million last year, to 15 million homes, according to Parks Associates, a research company. A similar increase is expected this year, said Tom Kerber, Parks's director of research.

People have found uses for the cameras in ''monitoring their pets, the nanny or their kids, so much more besides security,'' he said. New features like facial recognition should increase the popularity, he said.
