The system works by being purchased outright and not requiring users to pay a [monthly fee for monitoring](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/indoor-wifi-camera), which will come as welcome news to those who are overwhelmed by the ever-increasing number of subscriptions that they need. A built-in security camera on the system will automatically keep an eye out for disturbances, while the [smart home hub functionality](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xiaomi-smart-home-screen-8-ptz) links up the solution with the other devices in the home. This enables the 'Wazo' smart home security hub to gain a more holistic snapshot of the scenario within the home to intelligently track for problems using artificial intelligence (AI). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 53% | Activity: 45% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Fee-free Security Systems:** Opportunities to disrupt the traditional home security monitoring industry with DIY, one-time payment solutions like Wazo. - **DIY Smart Home Hubs:** Potential for the development and marketing of affordable and versatile smart home hubs like Wazo to help simplify the smart home experience for consumers. - **Holistic Home Security:** Innovative AI-driven home security solutions like Wazo have the potential to transform the way consumers perceive and approach home security. ### Who This Affects Most - **Home Security:** The fee-free, DIY nature of the Wazo security system presents an opportunity to disrupt the traditional home security monitoring industry. - **Smart Home:** Wazo's compatibility with other smart home devices presents an opportunity to simplify the smart home experience for consumers and potentially increase adoption. - **Artificial Intelligence:** Wazo's AI-driven approach to home security presents an opportunity for innovation and growth in the AI industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI-Powered WiFi Security Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-security-alarm-system.md) - [Low-Cost Fee-Free Security Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eufycam-c35.md) - [Smart Home Security Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-home-security-solution.md) - [Low-Cost Home Monitoring Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roku-home-monitoring-system-se.md) - [AI-Powered Camera Alarm Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/camera-alarm-systems.md) - [Accessible Smart Security Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/abode-cam-2.md) - [Wireless Affordable Security Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wirefree-security-camera-system.md) - [Sound-Monitoring Security Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/earzz-smart-home-monitor.md) - [Privacy-Focused Security Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/visio-wifi-camera-concept.md)
