Vector Security Reviews 575

The alarm service is great and so is the customer service, i would rate them a 5. The reason i rated so low is because of the door bell camera is a piece of crap and doesn't work. They have replaced it 3 times already. Its a waste of money and works when it wants to. I do not recommend the door bell camera.

A very good experience 6/23/20 with Trey at the Tallahassee office. He patiently walked me through a complicated check on my security system over the phone. Everything was resolved efficiently.

to long to wait to (1) speak with a person in customer service (2) If you need service its usually a week to 10 days wait. Thats not acceptable in my view.

Love your service...I feel so safe with you and when I leave the house I feel confident that it is safe and secure...Thank you so much.

I accidentally opened the window before turning off security system. A Vector Employee was on within 10 seconds and asked if everything was okay
A verified who they where speaking to and asked for security pass code
My Husband and I where very impressed

Do not sign their “agreement” it’s a contract that they will not give you any type of wiggle room with. We have multiple instances where our alarm would go off at like 3 am or random times because the sensors were not aligned properly and absolutely horrify myself and our children. We also have had so many times where the videos would stop recording who was at our front door or wouldn’t load the live feed to show us live who was there. It’s the worst feeling ever especially when you are out of town and you get a notification saying movement at front door but then never get to know who or what was at your front door.
To top it all off our home got demolished by a tornado so we don’t even have the home anymore that we had our security system at and they still sent us a bill for almost $800 because they said we had to pay the remaining time left on our contract.
Blows my mind that they are more worried about their $800 than they are the fact that their customer lost their home in a tornado. Really really horrible customer service. Look elsewhere if you want to be treated nicely and if you want to feel your home and your family is protected!!

We recently had our alarm system upgraded and have already had a system failure. We had 2 false smoke alarms at last evening/early morning. Called first thing for a service call and could not be scheduled for 2 weeks, entirely too long to wait for a security system repair. Had we not been home, which would not be uncommon in the summer, I fear that the fire company may have broken into the house to look for the fire.

TERRIBLE Service / ALWAYS leave a message / Fair system when working and a HIGH price

I purchased a home 2 years ago and it was the best decision of my life. The worst decision of my home purchase was signing this 3 year agreement. The camera system is terrible, it is continually getting fixed. The cameras allow you to set limits on recording and how much movement and or not it catches and starts recording. It all is terrible. I have set these limits, walked through them with customer service and took their recommendations. I still have hundreds of recordings a day, reach my monthly quota and then they stop recording. Save yourself and go with Nest or ADT or any other service. I feel like I was ripped off.

Dexter was very helpful, and understanding of our situation.
Dexter was very thorough, and explained everything perfectly.

Do not use Vector! We had nothing but issues with their service. Our cameras were constantly having issues and doorbell camera replaced 5 times in the first year of service due to not working. Customer service was horrible! A Vector manager was supposed to call me about cancelling the contract. No one ever called me and next thing I know a collection agency is calling me and threatening me everyday about not paying the $1,000 early cancellation fee will affect our credit. So I paid it reluctantly and replaced them with ADT security. When the ADT rep came for walk though of our house he pointed out that the window break sensor was installed incorrectly by Vector. Which makes sense because one time the alarm was set. A big thunderstorm came through and a picture frame with glass fell off the wall within 10 feet of the glass break and alarm did not go off. Yes Vector if you are reading this the glass broke in the picture frame. The ADT rep also pointed out that the fire alarms were not hooked up to Vector security at all which we thought we were paying for. Seriously!!!! ADT has been awesome. Vector security is horrible and will make sure everyone knows to stay away from them.

I would recommend Vector to anyone that's looking for alarm system. I really appreciate technician "Dexter". I always asked for he to come do my repairs. He goes above and beyond to satisfy his customers. He makes sure that everything is working properly before he leaves. Always suggests more things that we as a customer can do to protect our homes. Good Job Dexter.

One star is too much. Terrible customer care and service.

Horrible service. Don’t even respond to service issues. Will be cancelling after contract ends.
After several messages as of 5/29/2019, I still can’t get anyone to return my calls. Classic bait and forget type of company

I had a security system put in by Vector back in 2017. It worked great for about 6 months. But then lots of false alarms, automatic lights wouldn't work when entering the house, smoke detector became way too sensitive, and it got worse.

Seemed every time I called I got voicemail. Left a message 3x. Never a call back. The last message I left was telling them I wanted the system removed.

Now some law firm is trying to collect on the contract. Charging me for the equipment an monitoring. Why should I pay for a system that doesn't work correctly? Again I tried to call them and apparently the local number had been disconnected. I've told this to the law firm collecting and even they said they would have someone from Vector contact me. I'm still waiting after 3 months.

I hope this goes to court! The info they gave the law firm does not match the contract! The system was a lemon and I shouldn't have to pay for a system that does not work!

All I ask is to drop the collection and remove the system. But I'm not paying a dime!

FYI, two others in my family used to have Vector and why I chose them initially. Neither of them use Vector any more for similar issues (sensors started acting up, false alarms, etc).

Oh, let me remind Vector, that false alarms can result in fines from law enforcement and fire department. Will you pay those for me?

DO NOT BUY FROM VECTOR unless you want a system that will require a lot of calls to customer service (and good luck getting through), and lots of headaches.

Great job thank you!!!

Tony always does a great job. I was not onsite when he arrived but he was able to follow my instructions in retrieving the camera from my office and taking it to the correct spot to install. When I arrived at work and turned on the VMS the camera was up, working and the view placed perfectly. Tony is one of the best installers I’ve worked with over the many years I’ve been in charge of the camera security system at Pilgrims Nacogdoches. Please give Tony my Thanks again.

Happy Customer
The technician, Jonathan Burton was early for a previous appointment and called to asked if this suited my schedule! On a second visit when installing new products he did an excellent job. Very professional and knowledgeable. He even fixed a problem that came up the previous day that was a quick fix and instructed me on a method to handle it should it happen again. I’m very pleased with the work, service and highly recommend them

I purchased a home that had this company's security system installed. I decided not to continue using it. One year later, the alarm randomly starts going off every single time the front door opens. I've called Vector three times to resolve it. The first time, I was told that they can't take care of it because I'm not a customer. I called back and a man named Jonathan tried to walk me through disarming it, but I'm not comfortable with weird wiring and transformers. Called back again and got the same person who said he'd leave a message for troubleshooting to help me but no calls back. I left a message, no one returns your calls.

OLD SCHOOL AND NOT HELPFUL. This company was the security system with the previous owners on my house I bought, so I thought, why not keep them. Mistake. $40 to monitor, an app that was often glitchy or wouldn't load. Customer service calls that were not returned ever despite according to them needing to check something and get back to me. When I cancel they won't let me do it over the phone or online. I have to mail or fax a request - all they tell me. I do so. Turns out they won't terminate immediately, only 30 days from the request. Never told me that. They never sent me an invoice for this total - just one saying that THEY owed me $5ish. Then I get a past due notice from them. Shady and unhelpful on the phone. Put on hold every time I call.

Do yourself a favor and set up a system yourself (like Ring) for much less monitoring costs.
