Malaysia

Property crimes make up around 85% of the crimes listed on Malaysia’s annual crime index, with the rate of incidents increasing by around 55% between 2010 and 2017. These crimes include breaking and entering and stealing possessions and vehicles. In the face of growing demand, the home automation industry has stepped up to the plate, with a number of separate systems now available to stop crime at various levels and in various points of the home. In studies by ABI Research, it was found that the global sensor and device market for home security and automation is expected to grow exponentially this year. Some of the biggest challenges facing homeowners in Malaysia include remote monitoring and control of home security systems, along with cutting down on energy costs. Fortunately, home security and automation systems can go a long way in helping homeowners achieve these goals.
