Our Mission: Honest Home Security Advice
We believe every homeowner deserves straightforward, expert guidance on protecting their family - without the influence of advertising dollars.
Homes without alarm systems are 300% more likely to be burglarized. Yet choosing the right security system is overwhelming - dozens of brands, confusing pricing, aggressive sales tactics, and review sites that rank whoever pays them the most.
We started Modern Home Protection to fix that. Our editorial team has spent years in the home security industry - as installers, reviewers, and consumers. We know what actually matters when a system needs to perform.
Every system on our site is tested hands-on in real homes. We run break-in simulations, measure alarm response times, stress-test mobile apps, call customer support lines, and survey real customers about long-term reliability.
We earn commissions through affiliate partnerships - that's how we keep the site free. But our editorial decisions are made independently, and no brand can pay for a higher ranking. If a product doesn't pass our testing standards, it doesn't make the list.
What We Stand For
Hands-On Testing
Every system is installed and tested in real homes. We run break-in simulations, test response times, and evaluate daily usability.
Editorial Independence
No brand can buy a spot on our list. Rankings are based on testing results, customer data, and expert evaluation.
Transparent Pricing
We break down real costs - equipment, monitoring, contracts, hidden fees, and cancellation penalties.
Monthly Updates
We re-test and update rankings as pricing changes, products launch, and we gather fresh customer feedback.
