Industry Overview
Smart home security camera market was valued at $10.2 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach $61.8 billion in 2035, growing at a CAGR of 18.7% during the forecast period (2026-2035). A Smart Home Security Camera is a connected surveillance device designed for residential use, equipped with features such as Wi-Fi connectivity, cloud or local storage, motion detection, and remote access via smartphones or smart home ecosystems. The increasing adoption of smart homes, rising urbanization, and demand for remote monitoring and IoT-enabled security systems are driving the global market.
For families where every member goes out to work, security cameras keep unceasing vigilance at home to secure family property. CCTV systems that are fortified with intruder alarm systems do even better and significantly heighten home security. Furthermore, the 'live feed app' allows parents to keep a tab on housekeepers, especially when a little child is left behind. Indeed, being constantly in touch with home provides great peace of mind to working couples. With the increasing thefts and robberies, it has now become necessary to use a camera at home for safety and security. According to the EU, Police-recorded crimes against property in the EU increased in 2023: thefts rose by 4.8%, robberies by 2.7% and burglaries by 4.2% compared with the previous year.
Market Dynamics
Rising Security Concerns & Crime Rates
Rising crime rates and increasing security concerns across the globe are some of the main contributors to increased demand for smart home security cameras. According to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), the global homicide rate stood at 5.8 per 100,000 population in 2021, with nearly 458,000 intentional homicides reported across the world, showing persistent security challenges at the household and community level. In parallel, the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program noted nearly 6.5 million property crime offenses in the U.S. in 2022, highlighting burglary and theft as key threats to residential security. In addition, the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program noted nearly 6.5 million property crime offenses in the United States in 2022, with burglary and theft being threats to residential security. Studies also show that cameras can have a measurable deterrent effect: an analysis by the UK College of Policing found CCTV use is associated with an overall 16% reduction in crime, with stronger effects particularly in relation to vehicle offenses. These statistics demonstrate how smart surveillance technologies, especially AI-enabled home security cameras, not only deter intrusions but also aid in post-incident investigations, thereby fuelling strong global adoption.
Growing Smart Home Adoption
Smart home technology is rapidly gaining traction globally, with significant growth reflected in both installed devices and household penetration. In 2018, there were more than 1.2 billion smart home devices in use globally, which is a 45% increase from the prior year. Although the adoption rate of smart home appliances varies from region to region, and most recently, notably with COVID-19's influence, approximately half of all U.S. households are expected to use at least one smart home device. The adoption of smart home appliances is influenced by several factors, including convenience and connectedness, perceived benefits, and trust in the manufacturer, as well as concerns regarding device privacy risks.
Market Segmentation
IP Camera Dominates the Global Market
Internet Protocol (IP) cameras (also known as network cameras or IP CCTV cameras) are digital video surveillance cameras using an IP network to receive and send data. IP cameras communicate with the network either through a Power over Ethernet (PoE) cable or through Wi-Fi. They can be viewed through a computer, tablet, or smartphone when connected to a wireless internet connection.
IP security cameras are generally used to monitor and protect buildings (stadiums, offices), perimeters (e.g., airports, industrial locations), and traffic flow (e.g., intersections, tunnels). IP cameras designed for professional systems (and therefore installed with network cables) and storage devices are all wired at this point to have enough stable bandwidth. Home IP cameras almost universally use Wi-Fi connections for convenience, installation ease, and flexibility.
AI and Advanced Features in Next-Gen Doorbells
Home doorbell cameras have quickly become one of the most popular smart security devices, offering homeowners both convenience and peace of mind. Video doorbells are doorbells that have a built-in camera to help protect the home from package theft and burglary. They are either battery-powered (wireless) or hardwired into an existing doorbell. Cameras let residents see, hear, and speak to visitors in real time via a smartphone app, whether they are at home or away. Many models now feature motion detection, night vision, cloud or local storage, and AI-based alerts that can distinguish between people, packages, and passing cars.
The global smart home security camera market is further divided by geography, including North America (the US and Canada), Europe (the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Russia, and the Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand, ASEAN Countries, and the Rest of Asia-Pacific), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America).
North America Holds The Largest Market Share
In the United States, the smart home security camera segment stands out as particularly widespread. According to the 2025 Home Security Market Report by SafeHome, over 50% of U.S. households now have at least one security camera installed, making it the most popular feature within smart security systems. Supporting this, Parks Associates data reveals that 42% of U.S. households with internet access own some kind of security solution-either a smart camera, video doorbell, or a full system. Specifically, 22% of households have a networked camera and 20% a video doorbell, underscoring strong consumer uptake of smart surveillance devices.
Asia Pacific is An Emerging Market For The Smart Home Security Camera Market
The Asia-Pacific region is quickly emerging as an important growth region in the smart home security camera space. In 2023, China alone has upwards of 700 million surveillance cameras in operation- equating to roughly one surveillance camera for every two people living in the country. India, for instance, is seeing some remarkable densities, with certain cities exhibiting densities that invite scrutiny, such as around 83 cameras per 1,000 people in Hyderabad, approximately 60 for Indore, and nearly 20 for Delhi, when aggregating with the other three cities accounting for 91% of all the country's cameras. This rapid growth in surveillance infrastructure is also moving into the adoption of home security cameras, as households increasingly start to view them as essential components of home security and family safety.
The major companies operating in the global smart home security camera market include Arlo Technologies, Inc., Google, LLC, Ring LLC, SimpliSafe, Inc., and Vivint Smart Home, Inc., among others. Market players are leveraging partnerships, collaborations, mergers, and acquisition strategies for business expansion and innovative product development to maintain their market positioning.
