2018 is set to be a very exciting year when it comes to security and surveillance. Home and business automation and security will continue to combine to create a system that makes buildings and homes capable of meeting multiple needs with the ease of a smart phone. Many experts believe technology will be the focus of home and building security and will allow security to become even more efficient.

Here is the top security trends forecast for 2018:

• Homeowners will focus on security packages and technology that adds more levels of safety to their homes. Most homeowners don’t think just having one piece of smart tech makes a home “smart” and they will continue to invest in more pieces.
• Mobile integration and mobile apps will continue to give owners access to their security systems.  Security providers will continue to create smarter and better mobile apps for their customers. Customers will be able to arm/disarm, receive security alerts, with the hopes of more remote access and capabilities.
• Home and smart automation systems have been around for a while now, but home automation is posed to really take off in 2018. As per Coldwell Banker Real Estate’s Smart Home Technology survey about 50% have at least one piece of smart home security technology or plan to get on in the next year. Whether it be a camera with a smartphone app, or having a camera on a doorbell, or setting your thermostat from your office, many people will be investing in their smart automation systems.
