Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: April 2026

How We Earn Revenue

HomeSecurityScout.com earns commissions when visitors click our affiliate links and make purchases or sign up through those links. These commissions allow us to maintain and improve the site at no cost to our readers.

Affiliate Programs We Participate In

We participate in the MaxBounty affiliate network, through which we earn commissions on referrals to Brinks Home Security. When you click a link to Brinks on our site and take a qualifying action, we may receive a commission from MaxBounty.

Links to ADT and SimpliSafe on our site are non-affiliate direct links. We do not earn any commission or receive any compensation when you visit ADT or SimpliSafe through our links. These links are provided solely for informational purposes to help you compare options.

How Compensation Works

When you click one of our affiliate links and make a purchase or complete a qualifying action, the advertiser pays us a commission. The price you pay is the same as if you had visited the company's website directly. You do not pay any additional fees or surcharges. The commission we receive comes from the advertiser, not from your pocket.

Our Editorial Process

The compensation we receive does not influence our editorial ratings, rankings, or recommendations. Our reviews are based on research, analysis of customer reviews, and genuine evaluation of home security products and services. We are committed to providing honest, useful information regardless of affiliate relationships. Products earn their place in our rankings through merit and value to consumers, not through commission rates or affiliate payouts.

How We Choose Products

Our product selection and rankings are based on monitoring and evaluating quality, total cost of ownership, installation experience, brand trust, and long-term reliability. We do not rank or recommend products based on commission rates or affiliate payouts.

What This Means for You

Our affiliate relationships never result in a higher cost to you. Not all products featured on HomeSecurityScout.com are part of an affiliate program. We clearly disclose affiliate relationships throughout our site so you always know when a link may result in compensation to us.
