As we move through 2025, home security continues to evolve as new technology continues to provide homeowners with smarter, more efficient, and customized protection! The following are the top five home security trends shaping the industry this year:



1. AI Surveillance and Smart Video Search

The transformative effect of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on home security continues to change the way we approach security enhancement while enhancing the surveillance capabilities available today. With AI-enabled cameras that can now detect whether the movement observed is either human, pet, vehicle, or even animal-related, false alarms have diminished and true monitoring can be performed. For example, Ring recently announced a new AI-enabled Smart Video Search so you can search your camera video footage using specific terms, which will provide more relevant suggestions.



2. Smart Home Integration

Home security products are increasingly integrating with other smart home products, creating a seamless environment through automation and integration. This technology allows homeowners to manage multiple devices, like lighting, temperature, and security, via a single platform, thus creating a household that is ultimately more efficient and convenient.



3. Biometric Access Control

Key-based access control is being phased out and replaced with biometric entry technologies. Facial recognition and fingerprint scanning systems represent getting into our homes in a more personalized and secure way, because access to properties can resemble an individual who is entering.



4. Cybersecurity Continuity

As we saw with home cybersecurity threats last year, the integration of home security products poses additional threats for manufacturers and consumers. Cybersecurity remains a threat, and consumers must ensure that administrative credentials, such as a username and password, must address and resolve the previously mentioned issue with potential cybersecurity risk through the use of cybersecurity fundamentals.
