One-Third of Canadian Broadband Homes With Security Have App Monitoring and Control, Parks Says

One-fifth of broadband households in Canada own a functioning home security system, Parks Associates said Friday, and 34 percent of Canadian households with security can monitor and control the system through a mobile device. But the Canadian market faces the same challenges as its neighbor to the south with "low awareness, the lack of a concise value proposition, and privacy and security concerns” all “barriers to smart home adoption," Jason Paris, director-business development, said. Paris is presenting at the Connections+ conference Monday in Toronto.
