One of the examples that belongs to this group is smart home security system. No matter where and when a person is, it is possible for him/ her to monitor what happens at home, which enables the public to get the information immediately; thus, changes people’s behavior patterns. Besides, the widely-applied smart home system makes it easier for the masses to know the security condition at home beyond the limit of time and location. Therefore, through analyzing the references, the research model was proposed in order to examine the reasons why people intend to use the smart home security system. The data samples in this research were collected through investigating the online questionnaires, the online forums, social networking sites, and PTT that were related to the home security system. In total, there were 234 valid questionnaires. As for the data analysis method, this research was developed by the structural equation model. In order to analyze the statistics, SPSS 22.0 and SmartPLS 3.0 were used as the main accesses to verifying the cause and effect relationship between each variable in the research model. The result indicated that personal habits, the sunk costs, and the transition costs were the reasons why the inertia was generated. Furthermore, the perceived ease of use was partially mediated by the current deviation attributed from the inertia. On the other hand, the inertia had little influence on intending to use the system and adjusting the subjective norm. On the contrary, the perceived safety threat, the perceived financial threat, the perceived ease of use, the relative advantage, the subjective norm, and the information quality trust significantly influenced the intention to use the system positively. All in all, with the results and suggestions, it is anticipated that this research serves as a valid reference for the smart home security system, making great contributions to the industry-government-university field.
