Our editor’s take on Vector Security

We recommend Vector Security for its smart-home automation, strong warranty and relocation services. It also has a solid lineup of equipment, including indoor and outdoor cameras. The biggest drawback is perhaps the cancellation policy, which could be more lenient; however, as a whole, we like Vector’s home alarm systems.

As with any service provider, individual experiences may vary. It’s important to thoroughly research and evaluate the provider's reputation and customer service before making a decision.

It might work well for people who want a well-established company with professional installation and solid equipment, as long as they’re comfortable with strict cancellation terms.

If you're thinking about signing up with Vector but aren’t sure if you’re ready to commit, comparing quotes from different home security providers can help you better understand your options. This can make it easier to decide whether Vector offers the right features and pricing for your needs.

      Just bought a new home and one of Vector Security's contractors in Louisiana full on misled us ruining our joy as a new homeowner. You only have three business days to cancel but good luck trying to get a hold of anyone to cancel the service. They even locked me into a 5 year contract and lied to me that they were representatives of the Builder/Mortgage Company.

      This whole process was shady and I am very unsatisfied with how I have been treated. They also tell you that the installation is free and there will be no money needed but then they told me that it is easier to setup auto pay. Once he setup auto pay I was charged for the a monthly fee.That doesn't go with the sales pitch of no money needed today. Then the guy setup the camera in a weird spot for the door and apparently I was suppose to get smart locks with this plan but didn't get that either. I have never been so unsatisfied with a service as I am today. From the company that scammed me into a contract, to never being able to get a hold of anyone at Vector to cancel in time, to finally how little information Vector offers.

      I am extremely disappointed with Vector Security’s customer service. I have been a loyal customer for many years, using their security services for both my home and my business. While I was on vacation, I fell behind on a payment and my service was disconnected. I understand that the payment was my responsibility, and I am not complaining about having to pay my bill. My frustration is that I have been trying to make the payment and restore my service, but Vector Security has made it extremely difficult. I called three times today, and each time I had to wait a long time to speak with someone. When I finally reached a representative, I was told their system was down and they could not process my payment. I am ready and willing to pay what I owe, but they cannot even take my payment or help me restore my service.

      On top of all this, their prices are very high. When you are paying premium prices for a security service, you expect premium customer service as well. Unfortunately, that has not been my experience. For a security company, this is especially concerning. When a longtime customer’s security service is disconnected and they are actively trying to make a payment, resolving the issue should be a priority. After being a customer for so many years with both my home and business accounts, I expected much better. High prices, long wait times, poor customer service, and difficulty simply paying a bill make this a very frustrating experience.

      This company "says" it is better than others, but that is total bullshit. I went out to use my plug on the patio and couldn't because the installer did a crap job putting in the backyard camera. The wires were spliced together, with electrical tape over that rather than using the proper splicers. I put in a repair ticket to have the non-working camera fixed. Was told they would be here on 8/5 to fix it. They were a no-call, no-show, so I called them told they were going to connect me with the repair team; instead, I was put on hold and then hung up on. At this point, I would not recommend this half-assed company.

      Horrible Customer Service. No one can solve issues over the phone. I have wasted so much time and money with this company. Their website is horrible and online payment method did not work half the time so I finally got through to someone who helped me make automatic payments. Unfortunately, they only did it for our home and not our business so our business system got cancelled due to nonpayment. I called multiple times to try to get our business system back up but kept being transferred to different people where I kept having to regive my information and explain the situation.

      I finally was told I would receive a call back, which never happened. After about a month of having no security at our business I tried to cancel and I am being told by people over the phone that they cannot do that and someone will call me back. I have yet to receive a call back and there isn't a option to remove the payment method from their website. Steer clear.

      I signed up with Vector years ago through one of their sales reps Cecil. When I went to switch services a few years after that I was told that I had to pay for the months remaining on the contract that I signed. I never signed a contract. They sent me a copy of it and it was obvious to me that someone had forged a signature purported to be mine. It wasn't. It wasn't even close. The signature on the contract was more printing whereas my signature is totally cursive. So now that company has put me in collections which I'm not going to pay but they are trash because they knew what this guy was doing.

      Extremely Disappointed – Terrible Service and Zero Follow-Through. I have been a loyal Vector Security customer for decades, but unfortunately, the level of customer service has deteriorated to the point where it is perhaps the worst I have ever experienced from any company. My alarm system has suffered repeated faults and failures, and it has become nearly impossible to obtain proper service. I have received countless promises, but very little action. Most recently, I took an entire day off from work to wait for a scheduled service technician who never arrived. To make matters worse, when I texted his supervisor directly to inquire about the no-show, I received no response whatsoever.

      I am currently dealing with an alarm that I cannot shut off and am being told that I need to climb a ladder and physically remove a ceiling sensor myself. If I want a technician to come out immediately, I am being told I will be charged for emergency service—even though I was specifically told last week that everything was covered and that there would be no additional service charges.

      I have spoken repeatedly with supervisors and management, yet the problems continue to accumulate and remain unresolved. I am left with nonstop beeping, repeated fault codes, and a security system that is neither functioning properly nor being properly serviced. After being a customer for so many years, this lack of responsiveness, accountability, and follow-through is both disappointing and unacceptable. Long-term customer loyalty appears to mean very little to this company. I sincerely hope Vector Security takes immediate steps to improve its customer service and honor the commitments it makes to its customers.

      Vector request for service. Usually takes 3 weeks or more before they come out. My doorbell camera has not worked since 6/17/26. It is 7/10/26; they will not arrive until 6/15 /26 to repair!

      Vector is a great security system. Always prompt in alerting me of any security compromising issues. Having great staff members like Kiyana helps ensure that I will continue to enjoy using Vector Security.

      We were told there were bums in trailers next to the house and should really get an alarm. When we found that was baloney, nice folks live there, and tried to cancel. We were told we had to pay a lot to get out of the "no hassle" contract we signed. When my wife went blind and I lost my job, disabled, and had trouble financially, they had no pity, but said maybe later. Well, I am going to point out it is later. We have to sell our house that we love as our "forever home" and buy cheaper.

      On May 26 Jamie ** came to my home to give me an estimate for replacing my existing Vector security system. I signed a contract on his tablet and was told I would receive a copy the next day. It is now a week later (June 2) and I still don't have a copy of the contract despite three e-mails to Jamie. Then this morning Aaron **, who is scheduled to do my installation on June 12th, came to my home to do the installation. I told him it was scheduled for June 12th and he looked at this calendar and saw that I was scheduled twice, for today and the 12th. From a customer standpoint, none of this is inspiring any confidence in your organization. I should add that I've been a Vector client for over 35 years.

      The system has failed us several times since our beginning with Vector security, (false alarms). The last time was the basement glass break sensor. I removed the battery from the sensor. I do a sensor bypass "every night". Tonight, (5-30-2026) the sensor is still "in the network" and I deal with it every night. It should have been removed the (((first DAY.....))). (((I am not very happy with your work/problem solving skills.)))

      TERRIBLE TO DO BUSINESS WITH. Will not hold themselves accountable for billing issues that arise due to their negligence. They would not even offer a partial reimbursement for their mistakes. They would rather lose a customer than provide exceptional customer service. They take your $$$ and turn their back. They're not open on weekends, so there is no immediate assistance if needed. Extended wait times to speak with a live representative who does not know what's going on with your account after reviewing the notes. No one had clear answers and kept transferring me to the next person who then could not assist. I was promised call backs that I never received. They don't take pride in satisfying customer concerns once they've collected your money.

      This company is a sham, we got the service thought it was a good service, but became disappointed with the service. We had incident and they did not alert us. Now they did call us one time when my son put code in wrong and we were shocked. So we asked our friends and family about their security service and decided to get a security company that is more reliable than vector. So I called to cancel service and they informed me that we had signed a 5 year contract and that is far from the truth. The lady informed me that we would have to pay $2000. it maybe more just to get out of the service. I never ever signs contracts because I don’t believe in them. I advise anyone be careful when signing with this company in the end you will regret it and this company is not the company you should choose.

      I spent $5000 having a security system installed by Vector and I can use it. The alarm goes off and nothing triggers it. I pay $105 per month for monitoring service and can’t use it. I WOULD URGE YOU NOT TO USE VECTOR!

      I am writing to express my significant dissatisfaction with the security system and services I have received. My decision to acquire this system was based on information provided by a representative, Barry, who assured me of the ability to integrate personal cameras and upgrade the system. However, the compatible cameras I purchased proved non-functional, necessitating replacements from your company. Subsequently, the performance of these cameras has been consistently inadequate. On one occasion, I personally observed an individual attempting to break into my vehicle, yet your cameras failed to capture this event. Several months later, a similar incident occurred involving my truck, again without any recorded footage. Furthermore, the theft of my trash can also went unrecorded.

      I am currently obligated to a monthly payment of $60 for a service that has demonstrably failed to provide the promised security. Adding to these issues, after installing a new Wi-Fi modem, I attempted to reconfigure the cameras. While the rear cameras successfully reconnected, the front and doorbell cameras remain inoperable. I was informed that a service technician visit to address these issues would incur a charge of $125.

      Given these persistent failures and the lack of benefit derived from this service, I am no longer willing to continue payments. I intend to contact your company to discuss the termination of my contract. This situation is unacceptable, and I refuse to pay for a service that has not met its fundamental purpose. I request immediate guidance on the process for contract release. Despite receiving numerous calls and emails from your company, the core issue of camera functionality remains unresolved. I will not be utilizing your services again.
