In Statista. Accessed November 11, Average lifespan of consumer electronics and tech devices in in years. But I once got tangled in the power cord and knocked the laptop off the table. It survived. It would have lasted longer than five years if I hadn't, on one pre-coffee morning, lost my grip walking down the stairs.

Then there's my calculator. I will miss it when the magic eventually fades and the batteries finally fail. After 27 years or so, every time I turn it on, I wonder "How long can this last? At midlife, I figure I have a possible 30 or 40 years ahead of me. And my Sharp EL -- how many years does it have? How durable can we make our machines? News U.

Time to failure years. Security Cameras: years The evolution of video cameras and video recording analytics is changing at a rather quick pace. Your old surveillance cameras may be operational, though can they see faces and license plates like the new high-resolution cameras of today? Are you quickly able to search through video surveillance recordings and query for specific events?

Time to failure is years. Home Theater Projectors: years This is the same philosophy as televisions. You should look to upgrade your video projector around every 5 years or so to keep it up to date and to enjoy increasingly better picture quality.

Time to failure is typically years. Another reason upgrades are needed is due to compatibility issues with new high-resolution devices and new HDMI standards.

Home Control System: years A home control system like Crestron, Savant, Control4 or Elan is comprised of many different types of hardware. There are handheld remotes, in-wall touchpanels, processors, smart thermostats, etc. Expect to change out your processor and remotes every five years if you want the best performance, though items like thermostats and back-end hardware can easily last 10 years or more. Touch panels tend to feel dated around the 7-year mark.

Lighting Control System: years Until recently with the advent of LED and LED lighting controls, there have not been many significant changes in lighting control systems for the past couple of decades. When you purchase a high-quality lighting control system like Lutron, Crestron, Savant, Colorbeam, or Vantage, you can expect a long life out of it.

If your lighting control system is over a decade old it may have trouble dimming LED lighting fixtures, though. And, if you would like the benefits of automatic color-shifting lighting known as Human-Centric lighting or circadian rhythm lighting, you will want to invest in the newer lighting systems designed for these advanced features now.
