ABI Research: поставки систем "умного дома" будут стремительно расти. Samsung в числе лидеров

Аналитики компании ABI Research отмечают усиливающийся спрос на интеллектуальные домашние устройства и прогнозируют стремительный рост рынка систем "умного дома" в ближайшие годы.
По оценкам экспертов, к концу 2018-го производители IoT-девайсов реализуют по всему миру около 252.000.000 различных устройств, относящихся к категории Smart Home, что на 55% больше, чем в 2017 году. В дальнейшем рынок продолжит набирать обороты, и в 2023 году отгрузки домашних смарт-устройств достигнут 467.000.000 штук.
В ABI Research полагают, что на сегодняшний день уже более 70.000.000 домовладений пользуются хотя бы одним смарт-устройством. Распространение систем Smart Home создаёт основу для развития существующих и появления новых сервисов, способствующих росту выручки вендоров и дополнительным инвестициям в эту сферу, отмечает директор ABI Research Джонатан Коллинз (Jonathan Collins).
За последний год участники рынка оборудования для "умного дома" с привлечением партнёров стали расширять спектр услуг для владельцев таких устройств, предлагая внедрять возможности видеонаблюдения в системы безопасности. В качестве примера приводится кооперация Samsung SmartThings и ADT, а также принадлежащего Google производителя "умных" термостатов и камер Nest с поставщиком решений для обеспечения безопасности Brinks.
Также эксперты обратили внимание на то, что после нескольких лет довольно вялого распространения "умной" домашней техники на рынке наметилось оживление. По прогнозу ABI, в 2018 году поставки бытовой электроники со смарт-функциями должны превысить 15.000.000 штук, что более чем в 2 раза превосходит прошлогодний показатель.
По словам Коллинза, ключевые участники рынка домашних смарт-устройств, в том числе Samsung, Amazon, Apple и Google, рассчитывают с помощью этой категории расширить и усилить свои источники прибыли. Кроме того, компании, укрепляющие позиции на рынке систем умного дома, стремятся стать своего рода "привратниками", контролирующими доступ представителей других отраслей к своим пользователям, добавил специалист.
Ранее исследовательская компания IDC представила прогноз, согласно которому поставки всех видов устройств "умного дома" в следующие 5 лет будут расти двузначными темпами. Предполагается, что с 2018 по 2022 годы объём этого рынка, к которому относится широкий перечень устройств, - от смарт-акустики, "умных" термостатов и систем видеоразвлечений, - до интеллектуальных систем освещения, домашнего видеонаблюдения и обеспечения безопасности, в натуральном выражении увеличится с 643.900.000 до почти 1.300.000.000 единиц.

Smart Home Growth Disrupting Home Service Industries

Demand for smart home devices and systems continued to soar over the past six months creating the bedrock for a coming wave of new smart home services and revenue streams. Shipments of smart home devices will reach 252 million units by the end of 2018, up more than 55% from 2017. This double-digit, year-over-year growth is just the beginning of a smart home market that will see 467 million smart home device shipments in 2023, according to the latest smart home study from ABI Research, a market-foresight advisory firm providing strategic guidance on the most compelling transformative technologies
The past few years have brought a wealth of investment into smart home adoption. “Now, more than 70 million homes worldwide have one or more smart home devices,” says Jonathan Collins, Research Director at ABI Research. “These devices and their continued adoption are a beachhead for smart home players to position themselves as key partners for new and existing home services and, in turn, draw new revenues from their smart home investment.”
During the past twelve months, powerful smart home entrants have begun extending the services available to their smart home subscribers. For example, Google’s Nest partnered with Monitronics/Brinks to deliver monitored security, while Samsung’s SmartThings announced a similar partnership with ADT. While monitored security had been an early starting point for broader smart home adoption, especially in the US, now smart home is as likely to draw in new monitored security subscribers. The key difference is the smart home players’ new position at the heart of the new service.
In another emerging example, this past year, after years of anemic support and adoption, smart appliances gained traction; smart appliance shipments in 2018 will reach more than 15 million appliances shipped worldwide, more than double last year’s number. Smart appliance manufacturers, too, are looking to place themselves at the heart of previously distinct home revenue streams, including grocery and consumable reordering.
“Key smart home protagonists, including Samsung, Amazon, Apple and Google, have turned to smart home devices to expand and strengthen their existing core revenue streams. Increasingly, these and other smart home players will leverage their smart home customer relationships in order to become the gatekeeper for a host of industries looking to connect with consumers in those homes,” says Collins.

Samsung объединился с ADT для создания новой домашней системы безопасности на платформе SmartThings

Сегодня Samsung анонсировал новую домашнюю систему безопасности, которая стала плодом сотрудничества с известной компанией ADT, специализирующейся на разработке профессиональных решений в этой области.
Итогом совместных усилий инженеров Samsung, его подразделения SmartThings и ADT стал набор интеллектуальных девайсов, сочетающий в себе лучшие наработки всех трёх указанных брэндов.
Базовый комплект ADT Home Security Starter Kit стоит 550 долларов США. В него входят концентратор Security Hub, два дверных и два оконных детектора, а также детектор, отвечающий за распознавание движения внутри охраняемого помещения. Security Hub, помимо прочего, служит базовой станцией для других устройств, включая девайсы SmartThings, которые могут управляться дистанционно.
Samsung также будет продавать дополнительные комплекты для расширения охраняемого пространства, а также дополнительных опций, включая противопожарную сигнализацию, детекторы утечек водопроводной и газовой систем и т.д.
Партнёрство с ADT предусматривает поставку дополнительных услуг профессионального мониторинга. Активировать его можно через фирменное приложение путём регистрации*. Компания обещает, что персональных звонков и заключения бумажных контрактов не требуется, так что клиенты могут активировать или отменить услугу в любое время. Ежемесячный мониторинг взятого под охрану жилища службой безопасности обойдётся от 15 долларов в месяц, а если владельцы системы захотят обеспечить безопасность своей жизни (что предусматривает выезд специальной бригады охранников в случае тревоги), то такая услуга обойдётся в 25 долларов.

Samsung Unveils ADT-Monitored DIY Security and Home Automation Solution Powered by SmartThings

Industry Leaders Collaborate to Provide Professionally Monitored Life Safety and Smart Home System

Samsung, a global leader in home automation, and ADT LLC, the leading home and business security provider, together announce a new professionally monitored, self-installed life safety solution powered by the SmartThings platform. With the intelligence and connectivity of Samsung and the unmatched professional monitoring of ADT, the Samsung SmartThings ADT home security system is the safest, easiest, and most flexible DIY security and smart home solution available for families today.
Consisting of a Home Security Starter Kit and Home Safety Expansion Pack, the new solution from Samsung and ADT gives consumers the ability to create a safe and secure home and grow their connected home ecosystem as their needs evolve – all backed by ADT professional monitoring with no long-term contract.
The product is available for pre-order starting today on BestBuy.com and Samsung.com. On October 29, the product will be available in Best Buy stores as well as BestBuy.com, Samsung.com and SmartThings.com.
“We know from research that home security and safety are top reasons why consumers adopt smart home technology,” said Bill Lee, Vice President, Smart Home Product Marketing, Samsung Electronics America. “The collaboration with ADT enables us to connect our Samsung SmartThings ecosystem to the most trusted name in life safety so consumers have peace of mind knowing that someone is ready to react to an incident at home in just a moment’s notice.”
The basis for the new DIY system is the Home Security Starter Kit, which includes the Security Hub, two Door and Window Detectors, and Motion Detector. The system size can be expanded with additional sensors as needed, including fire, carbon monoxide and water detection with the addition of the Home Safety Expansion Pack. The ADT Security Hub touchscreen panel also works as a SmartThings Hub so users can control and monitor hundreds of third party smart devices, like door locks and doorbells, thermostats, lightbulbs and more – making it easy to customize endless combinations for home devices to work together, without needing additional hardware. From the Android- and iOS-compatible SmartThings mobile app, consumers can easily manage these devices and sensors, set up routines, and receive alerts based on their preferences, as well as check on the security of their home.
All of the security and life safety features can be backed by ADT professional monitoring. Consumers have the ability to sign up for or suspend ADT service on their app, at their convenience. No phone calls to ADT are necessary, nor are there any contracts or long-term commitments for the consumer. Leveraging over 143 years of experience, ADT provides consumers with the comfort of knowing the people and things that they care about most are protected, with cutting-edge technology and 24/7 professional monitoring and customer service.
“We believe everyone deserves to feel safe, and with this launch, we’re truly redefining the home security industry,” said Jay Darfler, Senior Vice President, ADT Emerging Markets. “By partnering with Samsung SmartThings, we’re able to expand our professional monitoring services to even more customers looking for the smartest and safest DIY home security solution on the market.”
“One of the top reasons our customers are interested in smart home is the ability to easily monitor and secure their homes, but their wants and needs can vary greatly,” said Mary Ortizcazarin, Vice President of Smart Home at Best Buy. “The new Samsung SmartThings and ADT partnership gives them more flexibility than ever to control their homes how, when and where they want to.”

Key Features:

* Do It Yourself (DIY) simplicity: Protect the family with a fast-response, easy-to-install home security system with built in Smart Home control functionality. The ADT Security Hub and wireless detectors and alarms help protect against intrusion, fire, carbon monoxide, and more.
* Enjoy 24/7/365 peace of mind with optional ADT professional monitoring services: Flexible, low month-to-month fees and no long-term contracts that consumers can sign up for any time, via the mobile app.
* Smart security: The brain of the smart home security system, the ADT Security Hub features a 7-inch touchscreen control panel with a built-in siren, battery and no-cost, cellular data backup, and dual encryption wireless technology.
* Works as a SmartThings Hub—connect and manage the smart home, easily: The customizable, DIY security system connects with hundreds of compatible SmartThings devices to allow for one central control point. The touchscreen panel & mobile app let consumers control their system, even on the go, while monitoring and activating connected devices in your home.
* A home that grows with you: Since the ADT Security Hub works as a SmartThings hub, consumers can add their favorite automation and smart devices, like lights, cameras, doorbells, door locks, thermostats, sensors, voice assistants, and more, right from the SmartThings mobile app

ADT customer Joseph Clem experienced the value of professional monitoring first-hand. “The carbon monoxide detector in the basement went off, and then ADT called to advise us that the fire department was on its way. We believe that without ADT and the fire department, we would've gone to bed not knowing there was carbon monoxide in our home and possibly not woken up."
The ADT Home Security Starter Kit starts at $549.99 and ADT Home Safety Expansion Pack starts at $199.99. Monthly monitoring is available starting at $14.99 for life safety and $24.99 for security services.
