DALLAS, Oct. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Security dealers are moving
in large numbers to offer a variety of systems, including digital health
and entertainment solutions, according to Parks Associates and EH
Publishing. The two firms recently completed a study of security dealers,
Home Systems Integration Channel Monitor 3Q07: Security Systems
Integrators/Installers, and will present a summary of findings at a joint
briefing at EHX Fall 2007 in Long Beach, Calif., November 8.
"The home systems integration channel continues to grow in both number
and types of participating firms," said Bill Ablondi, director, channel
research, Parks Associates. "Security dealers routinely install structured
wiring, audio, home theater, and control systems and are expanding their
offerings into lighting controls and digital health, with nearly 30%
offering home health monitoring systems."
"The expansion of security dealers into lighting controls is a good
example of fundamental changes taking place in this channel," said Daryl
Delano, EH Publishing's research director. "Lighting controls are offered
by 44% of security systems integrators/installers, and it's a natural
category to link with security systems. When asked what equipment beyond
basic security systems is typically included in their projects, 59%
reported that lighting controls were also installed."
Topics at the upcoming EHX briefing will include brand awareness and
business characteristics among security dealers, channel revenues, and an
update on the residential building market, including trends in new
construction, remodeling, and retrofit.
