A recent Parks Associates survey stated that 37% of U.S. households with broadband plan to buy a connected smart home device in 2015. Another report by Accenture forecast that two thirds of consumers will have connected smart devices in the home by 2019, with almost 70% of consumers having a smart thermostat and 60% having a smart security system. Security is a core focus for many Smart Home devices, with products such as SwannOne, Dropcam and Arlo from Netgear providing security-centric new offerings to the smart home.
