B2B/C2C sales of any kind (e.g. to hotels or office buildings)

The Security segment targets the prevention/detection of burglaries, notifications about hazards such as fire or water leakage, emergency calls and access control. Its development is mainly driven by the replacement of traditional devices with connected ones. Main growth products in this case are smart locks and smart security cameras. Companies from several different industries compete in this market. Next to traditional security companies (e.g. ADT) and tech start-ups (Canary or Alarm.com), media companies and connectivity providers (e.g. AT&T or Comcast) also play an important role due to the high amounts of data that need to be transferred, especially in the video surveillance case. Developments vary strongly with country-specific conditions like burglary rates.
