Key Highlights

• The integration of drones with personal security features is driving the market. Security drones for home surveillance and monitor have been all the rage recently, with many companies including BrdsEye, Airborne Drones, DJI, and Secom launching their security surveillance drones into the market. The drones fly at an altitude of approx 20 feet and can capture vital identification information of an assailant. Their control devices have a built-in biometric scanning system to prevent an assailant from operating or stealing the device and can be controlled using radio controllers or through Android phones with a USB port.
• For instance, in January 2020, a new system from Sunflower Labs offers the autonomous drone which oversees the home through ground-based units called Sunflowers, which look like garden lights and use motion and vibration sensors to detect movement in the yard. They can detect and differentiate the movements of people, animals, and cars and display this information on a map in real-time.
• Further, the adoption of DIY (Do It Yourself) home security systems for cost-effective solutions is driving the market. DIY home security systems comprise motion and entry sensors, a loud siren, and others, which provides a cost-effective solution compared to professional monitoring services which deal with contracts. According to Safewise, the average monitoring price is USD 50.28 per month on professionally installed systems and USD 27.26 a month on DIY security systems, which significantly brings up to savings.
• Further, the user has an option to connect with more sensors with a suitable condition of the home. The most preferred DIY security system is the Abode Essentials Starter Kit, which is also compatible with Apple's smart home platform starting price of USD 280, providing low-cost smart security bundles. It includes one Gateway, one mini Door/Window Sensor, one Remote KeyFob, and one Motion Sensor providing the user can add more sensors to it.
• The impact of Covid-19 has affected the market growth. Professional monitoring solutions and Do-It-Yourself (DIY) solutions both are highly impacted as there is a drop-down in demand for smart security devices due to work from the home culture in various countries. Also, with the pause of e-commerce sales such as in Amazon, the drop in sales has significantly slowed down, further highly affecting the DIY solutions market. Moreover, in India, housing sales across the top seven property markets in India is likely to witness a 25-35% year-on-year drop in 2020 through pandemic, source according to ANAROCK Property. This potentially drops the market for the demand of smart home security solutions, further helplessly holding the piles of inventory by the players.
• Also, some players are initiating a step to support the customers. In April 2020, Swann announced in committing the next focus of its Community Engagement Program to help as many people and businesses as possibly affected by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic through the launch of its Home, Safe Home initiative. The company will donate security equipment to home users wanting to know their premises are safe and guard against delivery fraud or porch piracy.
