The use of IoT and smart homes continues to grow, and as part of smart homes so does the use of smart home security systems. Despite the growing market, few studies have investigated users' experiences of this technology. The purpose of this qualitative study is to contribute to this gap of knowledge in the research area. The study carried out seven semi-structured user interviews and a thematic analysis. The results show that the users' thoughts, opinions and experiences both agree as well as differ from the previous research of users and IoT. However, all users who participated in the study agree that the advantages of the smart home security systems outweigh the potential disadvantages. Due to the limited amount of previous research and the continued increased use of all IoT technologies, there is a great need for further research in the field. |
