RISCO urges installers to “stand up” for smart home security

New research reveals that UK householders trust the security industry most to provide smart alarms and products that will underpin the homes of the future.

Research conducted by YouGov for security provider RISCO reveals that more than half of householders with an alarm are interested in installing a smart alarm system that controls other household systems.

The research into attitudes of 4,237 British adults shows that householders were asked who they would trust to provide a connected home system with an alarm element, the security industry came ahead of all other service providers.

“The biggest learning from the survey is that the security industry is in a very strong position to provide and maintain connected home devices,” said Anna Royds, Head of Marketing at RISCO Group UK.

“The technology is here, it’s competitively priced, it’s easily installed, and users are clearly interested in it.  We urge the industry to ‘Stand Up For Security’ and take advantage of this great commercial opportunity – before those in consumer electronics, telecommunications and energy providers do so!” continued Royds.
