In 2004, respondents from mainland China and Hong Kong exported US$42.9 million home security products. Respondents from Taiwan and South Korea exported US$19.5 million and US$15.2 million, respectively.

Exports contributed between 40 percent and 80 percent of mainland China and Hong Kong makers' revenue; and more than 80 percent of South Korea and Taiwan makers' revenue.

Orders for home security products ? consisting of intruder or burglar alarms; video doorphones; and fire, smoke and gas detectors ? usually come in small volumes. As such, performance-to-price ratio remains the major consideration.

Two unique characteristics of the product line serve as non-tariff barriers to the entry of new makers in the industry: The need to meet product safety standards and secure safety certifications in various markets, and the need for turnkey system solutions consisting of control panels and detectors.

A total of 48 companies were interviewed for this report. Statements made in this report regarding the home security industry are derived from data contributed by the 48 respondents. Among the findings are:

Production centers
- Guangdong province is the manufacturing hub of home security products in mainland China. Zhejiang province follows.
- Chung Ho city is the key manufacturing center in Taiwan, Taipei is second.
- Daejeon is the production center in South Korea.

Manufacturing capability
- The industry produces an average of 1.1 million units every month, of which 414,700 units are wired and wireless intruder alarms, 272,450 units are video doorphones, 295,400 units are fire/smoke detectors, and the rest are other home security products.
- Most makers outsource a significant portion of their production processes, with some handling only the R&D, QC and final assembly of the products in-house.
- There is a very high level of quality awareness. Each of the companies featured have acquired at least one management quality system, with ISO 9001 being the most common.

Component sourcing
- Components for both wired and wireless alarms such as detectors, sensor modules, LCDs, ICs, circuit systems and RF modules are usually sourced from the mainland, Japan, Taiwan or the United States.
- For video doorphones, components such as CMOS and CCD sensor modules, LCDs, CRTs and ICs are sourced from Japan, Taiwan, South Korea or the United States.
- More than half of the makers foresee prices of intruder alarm components to increase between 5 percent and 15 percent. Video doorphone components, on the other hand, are forecast to remain stable.
