    Joe, the technician, came out to change out the battery on my system. He was on time and very helpful. I would, however, suggest one change to the overall service... The last three times I have required service, the various departments of Vector have not alerted one another. As a result, I have been "alerted" to the need for service when "service" has already been scheduled for at least a couple of days. Frankly, it is irritating to receive the phone calls telling me I have a problem that is merely waiting to be addressed. Thank you for your consideration and response to this concern.

    I have been with Vector for about 5 years and I've always had a pleasant experience with your dispatchers and your technicians. It was a pleasure working with Sean **. He showed up before the time I was told and I really appreciated that. He explained to me about upgrading my system and eased my worries about a heat detector that was hanging in my garage that's not connected to your system. He talked to me about purchasing a heat but I'm not ready as of yet. I really appreciate your prompt response to this. I feel safe and secure! Looking to continue my service.

    When my system was updated in Virginia I was not fully aware that it would commit me to another term contract. I thought the update was for your convenience. As A result I was told I had to pay a early termination fee when I moved out of state. In order to avoid the fee I agree for a system in my new home. But, that appointment was a no show. For that reason I do not want another Vector system. Please do not ask me to reconsider. I was not dealt with honestly.

    Called in May for replacement battery. Never got a return call. Cancelled service in June. Just got a bill for $375 for "remaining contract period". Contract was for 36 months in 2009 and expired in 2012. Was told service would be month to month after 2012. Never signed another contract. Installer messed up house phone lines so that they never worked after alarm installed. Messed up cable service and had to be re-wired by cable company. Call center people rude. Do not do business with this company unless you like getting screwed and abused.

    After 7 service visits during the past 9 months to complete the "upgrade" of our system, we are very hopeful that it will now work properly. After the initial installation it was reported that we had a defective sensor, needed a repeater and had low signal strength for cell connection. Subsequently the sensor was replaced and the repeater was added. After several network failures the technician recommended that due to weak signal strength, we add a different antenna. After 2 1/2 months, the antenna was available and the installation scheduled. However, due to issues with the job before ours, the visit had to be rescheduled. Upon arriving to install the antenna, it was determined that the panel had to be moved to allow access. Signal strength was improved to 2 bars.

    Shortly after the technician left, we experienced failures with the Z-Wave. This required the technician to return and add a "switch". He tested all devices and they appeared to work properly. Within days, we again experienced network and Z-Wave failures. After another series of phone calls, Sean and Joe came to the house, replaced the antenna - increasing signal strength to 3 bars and adding two light bulbs to improve Z-Wave performance. As with Ken, Dale - we think the technicians did a great job and were all sympathetic to our frustration.

    My opinion of the problem is that no one was (aware?) of the impact of a 3 story concrete home on the Z-Wave or cellular connection. Also I believe that before installation, Vector should review Verizon's specific coverage map. In my conversations with them as we try to improve our own cell signal, they acknowledge that our area does not have very good coverage.

As I was driving home from receiving another text prompt that my door was offline, one of your reps, Liz, called me & stated that she noticed several of these errors and recommended that a technician look at it. This was the last day of my vacation at 4pm, and I told her I couldn’t take any more time off anytime soon. She sent someone over IMMEDIATELY!! The technician was at my home within 15 minutes and resolved the problem. WOW!! I am very impressed with Vector’s service!

    The new install was completed in just over a day. All areas were cleaned up during and again post install. I was disappointed the old wiring was not removed and just left above the ceiling tiles. We had an issue with our other sites connecting to the new external cameras. David ** was onsite the next day. He had to call the vendor to get the system to work. It ended up being a password issue that had been loaded by the vendor on the cameras for a different company. Another issue was the refresh rate on the outside cameras. It was too high to go through the network and be seen from our other locations. David fixed this also and now everything is working as designed.

    I was a new Vector customer approximately 3 years ago and experienced very good customer service but in the last 6 months I have not been satisfied with Vector's monitoring, which has been unreliable, inconsistent and unacceptable. When customers pay for monitoring services they should be able to expect consistent and dependable monitoring. I called customer service to explain that my alarm had been triggered numerous times and we were never called at home or on our alternate numbers. I called and asked what Vector could do for me as I had no battery backup. The answer I received was "don't worry about it." The waiting times when calling the main customer service center often exceed 20 minutes.

    Vector does have one shining star and her name is Sherry **. She is a consummate professional, very skilled in customer service and very knowledgeable. She is the only person I have dealt with at Vector that deserves high marks for her follow up, follow through and she does what she promises to do.

    We had a quick turn around time to replace an old fire/burglar system with another. The rep. was very polite, and professional and extremely responsive to questions we had. He focused on our needs and didn't try to upsell us on the latest/greatest thing. It was crucial that the new system had the same if not greater capability than our old one and he took the time to go through EVERY detail of the new system before install. Unfortunately, we both had our dates wrong for the install. We ended an old contract BEFORE the new install which would have presented code issues.

    The rep. did everything he could to bump up the install and found a way to make it happen a week early! The installer was awesome! He was very professional and polite and answered all questions. I had to call him after hours about an issue and he was able to help. The installer was by himself (because of the rush job) and installed both fire and burglar system. He explained all functions and we were good to go! We were blessed to be able to buy all equipment outright which means all we pay monthly is monitoring. Overall, love the company, its people and the prices are much better than their competitor with the blue signs....

    Thank you Vector for sending someone out to fix our system. The young man who came really made my day. He treated me as if I was a valuable customer. At first, I was upset with you but you kept your word and sent someone out much earlier than you said. I believe I will sleep a lot better tonight!

    You convinced my husband to change to you because you were better than the company we had. Our system has been broke since Saturday. A murder suspect is on the run in our area. You refuse to come until the 14th. YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT OUR SAFETY!

    Shelly ** from scheduling dept. was most helpful to me when I inquired about who should remove the sensors when the windows are replaced. She checked to confirm the sensors were wireless and also the charge for Vector to remove & replace sensors. Although I do not agree there should be a trip charge & additional charges after 1st half hour, I realize it isn't Shelly's fault. She was pleasant & most helpful. You are fortunate to have her as an employee. But Vector's rules are not considerate to the loyal customers of many years who have been consistent in paying their bills & waiting many hours for servicemen to arrive.

    I am so satisfied with the personnel of Vector. I have just talked to the Operator Jim, he was so nice he helped me fix my problem with setting my alarm and taught me the proper way to set my alarm. When I left the house that I did not know about, his supervisor Jay is sending out someone to reset my sensitivity of the sensors. This is a great company and will give them the highest rating. I cannot speak highly enough for both of those gentlemen, I now feel safer than ever knowing great people are monitoring my home.

    I had Vector Security for a few years and had no problem with the system or services. However, when my wife and I decided to do away with our house telephone we contacted Vector for advice. I contacted the company four times to determine what I needed to do. On one call I was told that we would have the system switched to our internet connection. After repeated attempts to get this done by myself and my wife we gave up. My last call was to inform Vector that we no longer wanted the service. I was informed that since we didn't have a house phone the system wasn't working. Fast forward a few months and I found out today that Vector has been taking the fees out of our account for several months even though they have not been providing a service. Now they are telling us that yes the service is on, there is no way it could be. Bottom they have questionable billing practices that in Tennessee constitutes theft. Be warned of this company.

Having a family at home when on deployment overseas I have come to rely on the knowledge that they were safe at home. The recent issues however, have shattered my confidence in Vector Security Systems Support. In December 2015 I decided to change my phone provider from TWC to another, not knowing the effect it would have on the security system. Noted, I was notify by mail that there was a comm problem in January.

    In February I made contact trying to get the issue resolved and was told a serviceman would contact me the cost and how to resolved issue. This never happen. I try again twice in March after the motion detector battery reports LOW. On the third call was given a wonderful lady by the name of Julie ** try to provide a new system. A few days later received a call from billing that payment was late because my credit card was change. Does the company think it's ok to provide this type of service and still require payment?
