We felt vulnerable and defenseless, and we wanted our families to feel safe again. At that point, searching for home security systems online only yielded disorganized information from inexperienced enthusiasts. In our experience, door-to-door security salespeople pushed expensive packages that didn’t match our needs. We believed there was a better way to learn about home security trends, products, and services, so we set out to create it ourselves.</p> 695<p>Equipped with detailed spreadsheets, product comparisons, and other insightful resources, we built a website focused on in-depth research and honest advice from security experts. Our mission is clear: help everyday people navigate the overwhelming world of home security. We utilized new technologies to originate innovative tools that make finding the right security and safety options simple. We even developed a proprietary scoring system called <a href="/securescore/">SecureScoreâ¢</a> and expanded SafeHome.org into other safety and security categories. Overall, our vision is to become the premier source for reliable and trustworthy advice on security and safety.</p> 696 697 </div> 698 699 </div> 700 701 </div> 702 703 704 </div> 705 706 707 <div id="about-me" class="content-image section unset-pt minimal-pb"> 708 709 <div class="container"> 710 711 <div 712 class="row no-title "> 713 714 715 <div class="col-md-6 content"> 716 717 <h2>A Little About Me</h2> 718<p>Hi there!

In assigning a SecureScoreâ¢, our experts take into account customer service, value, equipment, features, tech, and ease of use. Our SecureScore⢠is the most accurate and objective way to rank an option, and it allows readers to see how a particular option will perform at a glance.</p> 1091 1092 </div> 1093 1094 1095 <div class="col-12 col-sm-6"> 1096 1097 <h4>Q: What Topics Do You Cover?</h4> 1098 <p>We only research and cover topics related to home and personal safety.
