We were referred to Vector Security by a current Vector customer. This visit was to relocate a glass brake sensor. Our system was already installed. The experience with customer service to set this up went very smoothly. The technician today called when he was on his way and arrived at the early end of the window. He was very professional, worked quickly, and charged fairly.

Trying to move my system and CSR sends me a contract for 36 months instead of the term of my original contract. I want a contract that ties more to the length of my original contract attached to my original contract and without any rollover. I want to know the charges for installing my system, yes, I paid for it, at the new location. Your company is completely disreputable. I was considering upgrading the system, but all of your employees lie. If your company was any good, your employees wouldn't have to lie all the time. Now, give me the appropriate contact so that I can continue service at the new location. You are denying me service where I need it!!

My 5 years was up May 14, 2017. I knew I had to call 30 days before. I called April 14th. Their phone system is unfriendly. After 5 minutes on hold it disconnects. I called again. Another 5 min disconnect. 3rd time I left message for call back (they say within 24 hrs). I was given a return call May 19, my 30 days was already passed. I explained that and wanted a less expense plan. He said, "Don't worry about the 30 days," back forth phone calls.
I called again 26th, left message, called 27th, closed, called 29, retention dept. closed, said call 30th 7 am. Called 7am, said don't come in till 8. I called again 1:30, disconnected 2 times. Finally answered, past 30 days can't cancel, explained all. They have no record of me calling on the 14th. I said someone called back on 19th they had to get my number from somewhere, can't cancel. I said this isn't what 1st person said, asked to speak to supervisor. Again can't cancel, can't prove I called on 14th. Must keep plan for another year or they will cancel and charge me $659.88. Asked to speak to their boss. In meeting. Someone will call back within an hour... No return call. Customer service is horrible.

Vector Security was already in place when I moved to The Oaks Condominiums. Shortly after moving in, I accepted the responsibility of keeping track of which residents had which pool fobs, and activating and deactivating them at the opening and closing of the summer season. Over the years I have made calls requesting help in solving various problems. Some of those problems were actually my memory problems, and some were situations that needed attention in the system. Each and every time I call for assistance from my "go-to" guy, Tim **, he patiently instructs me again, and/or comes to our location to resolve the problem. I've called for help on weekends, holidays, and other inconvenient times (perhaps I was a telemarketer in a previous life). If you give recognition to outstanding employees, I nominate Tim ** for the customer service award.

I originally had missed my first appointment because I had arrived home late. The technicians left a message on the door for me to reschedule. So, I did that and Vector was so professional and polite even though it was my fault for missing the technician. When the technicians arrived for the follow up appointment, they both showed me their identification badges and promptly put on their shoe covers before entering my house. They worked thoroughly to replace my batteries and even discovered that they had to replace a damaged door contact. I was so impressed with their work and professionalism. The icing on the cake was when they also sat with my husband and I and helped us download the Vector app so that we can now use our phones to set our alarm. I am so grateful and very satisfied with their outstanding work!

So far my experience with Vector has been very disappointing. I understand things happen but from the sale to the install I've had to give more time to this than its worth. Besides offering to work around my schedule to fix mistakes that are actually unacceptable in the first place - nothing has been done to compensate for the problem. I would be interested to hear from someone at the corporate office to see if they agree or if this is typical.

Chose Vector Security because other churches in our association of churches use Vector. Vector recently installed new security, cameras, access system and took over everything, including existing fire system. About 2 weeks ago, we began to have trouble w/ our fire system. Had a few challenges with phone customer service early on (couldn't guarantee sending someone out, service was closed, etc.). But the guys that have come out to our site have been great. Once a diagnosis was made to replace the system, the techs were out faster than expected finished in less time than quoted!

When Ricky, the technician came out. He was at first pleasant. However, as the day went on, he seemed rushed and it later showed in the work that was completed. Our day began at 9:30 with his services, by the time he was leaving at 3:30 p.m., several things had taken place. There was a hole in my wall from the drill coming through, this was eventually corrected to our satisfaction. The system was installed but not properly... We will be using another technician today for service because the lamp module is not working correctly - it will not turn off; The lock is not working correctly - sometimes it locks, other times it will not; and the outside camera works sometimes and other times it doesn't.
I would suggest you train your technicians to leave the survey with the customer instead of the technician implying that it has to be completed while he is there so he can return it. What's the purpose of having a "No postage necessary" survey card if he wants to take it with him before leaving. Clearly I could have said no, but at this point I was ready for him to leave, as he had been there since 9:30. I would have not given a satisfactory rating had I known all of these things were not working correctly. These are the things that I am aware of but there could very well be others. This is no way an attack on this young man, however, if he represents your company, this is not a very good representation. I have referred two others, one of which has already gotten her installation, but at this rate, I'm starting to question that decision.

Vector Security tricked me into agreeing to a 3 year contract. I signed an initial 2 year contract and completed that contract without issue. In August of 2015 they contacted me and said that due to changes in the AT&T cellular towers they needed to come and make an upgrade to my system. I indicated in the phone conversation that I had no problem with the upgrade if my price stayed the same and there was no contract extension or new contract requirement. They agreed and said they only needed my permission to install the equipment.
After the installation I received a call saying the serviceman had forgotten to have me sign the paperwork. I again said I did not want a new contract and was told I only needed to sign to confirm I had gotten the new equipment. I was send a contract with blank spaces in the areas that would indicate a # of months for service. All of the fine print below was crossed out with a yellow highlighter. I signed and return the contract. I was not sent back a copy at the time. Last month when I sold the house I notified Vector I would need to cancel service. They then said I had 16 months of service left on my contract and have billed me $624. They now point to small print in the contract which says there is an automatic 3 year term (item 4) which was crossed out by highlighter in the copy I signed but not in the scanned copy they have now sent to me upon my request.
I feel the company ran a scam to dupe customers into signing new contracts. And now with the sale of that vacation home they want me to pay for service I could not possible use. Since I knew all along that I would be selling the house in the near future, I would never have knowingly signed a new 3 year contract. They pursued me and lied to me to lock me into this agreement.

I took a day off from work (5/10) to have an additional keypad installed and have my alarm system upgraded. After the technician left I had no phone service and no siren, because my salesperson did not add a siren to the work order. One motion detector was labeled as a window, so in "Stay" the motion triggered the alarm. Terron, another technician, came late Friday (5/12) and discovered that only three of the eight zones were labeled correctly. He corrected that issue and reconnected the telephone line. I appreciated his patience and diligence in fixing the problem. While sitting in the family room Friday night, I received a call from the monitoring center. The alarm was going off in "Stay." I called my salesperson who said he would address the issue.
On Saturday, my wife returned home, set the alarm to "Stay" and went upstairs to take a shower. The police were called after we were not reached, because the alarm was going off. At no time did the keypad make any noise to indicate the system had been activated, and we still had no siren. I called my salesperson and told him to have it fixed Monday or I would return the equipment and cancel. On 5/15, I called Vector after not having heard from anyone by 11:00 am. Susan was awesome. She had a supervisor fix the issue with the motion detector in the foyer via Alarm.com. After I checked the motion in the basement, she also had a supervisor address that issue. She arranged for Rick **, another technician to come to my home by noon. He fixed the keypad issue, installed the siren, and tested everything. Rick, along with Terron and Susan should be commended for excellent customer service.
With that having been said, it took four trips by Vector employees to my house, to include the salesman, three calls from the monitoring center, a call to the police, in order for the system to work. The salesperson should have known the old siren was not compatible with the new system. It should not have taken three service technicians to properly install two new keypads and switch the system to wireless. The only reason I did not cancel was the work of the employees yesterday. Your Columbia, MD location is rated 1.6 out of 5 stars on Google and 1 out of 5 stars on Yelp. There is a reason for that.

Not happy with this company - partially my fault but still this company offers misleading contract info. Signed up for a three year contract. After three and a half years I decided to switch security providers due to more options I have with another company. When I contacted Vector to discontinue service, rep said no problem. I then received a bill for $250 to satisfy my contract. When I contacted rep I was told that I did not notify them a month before the end of my contract to inform them of my plans to discontinue service so therefore I owed $250 to satisfy my contract. It's **.
Contract was satisfied. If I would have told them month before contract was fulfilled I could have gone month to month but since I did not I went to another year contract and subsequently I owe the outstanding balance. When I spoke with rep she admitted that even though I received no services from them I owed the difference. I asked her to say that again and she said, "Yes. Even though you received no services from us you owe us that money". I would never recommend this company to anyone.

I have been a business customer of Vector Security for more than 20 years. About 5 years ago my business partner and I decided to use Vector Security for our homes. We shelled out close to $4000 upfront and agreed to pay for monthly monitoring. Never had a problem with Vector until last Christmas. I got a warning that the backup battery in the control panel was low. I scheduled an appointment to have the battery replaced even though it was not really a good time financially right before Christmas.
Dan (very nice tech) showed up but he didn't have the particular battery with him. I found it strange because that's what the service call was for. I then paid almost $400 to replace every battery on every window, door, and motion detector as I was told they will all go bad one at a time and will have to keep paying for service calls. Just made sense to get this over with while they were at my house anyway.
Dan said he had to come back with a new battery for the control panel. OK, great. Unfortunately I was hospitalized when Vector showed for the appointment and they left the battery on the porch. My wife called Vector and told them what was going on and they instructed her how to install said battery. Still showing low battery which triggers an annoying loud noise followed by repeated robo-calling from Vector Security.
I was just released from a lengthy hospital stay and contacted Vector to make good on the battery. After explaining my situation I was told I have to pay for a new backup battery. After being on hold for a spell the representative could not have someone come out and if I wanted to cancel my monitoring service I could do so but I would have to call back again at a later date to handle that. Really?? They would rather lose a customer than make good on a battery!! Sounds pretty stupid to me as I already paid for the battery. I am friends with Mike ** (technical and account manager) who is no longer with the company and apparently this crap goes on regularly. I never leave negative feedback unless I really think I was treated unfairly and with zero attempt to at least try and make the customer feel happy. Zero effort on Vector's side. I guess I am extremely disappointed in how I was so easily blown off.

I've been a Vector customer since 2009. I have accounts for my main home as well as my vacation home with Vector, and have received excellent service in both locations. Tracy met with me recently to go over my security features, and she gave me her card so I can contact her directly with any issues/needs I might have. That is excellent responsiveness!

Vector was recommended by my realtor & neighbors. Very satisfied to date with service provided & especially the customer service of Dottie ** whom I always preferred to speak with. Questions answered & additional information were always given with courtesy, accuracy & promptness. She is an exceptional employee going out of her way to provide the best service at all times. I have recommended Vector to others as well as Dottie to be an excellent person to speak with. As I frequently am dealing with other service companies to get assistance they would have happier/satisfied customers if they had Dottie to assist them.

I originally chose Vector after speaking with several companies. I have been a loyal customer for years with no real problems, until this past December when I had to be away from home more than usual due to several family deaths & the sad problems that follow. My elderly relative living in my basement apt. had some problems learning to use the keypad correctly, setting off the alarm a few times. Since I had a home invasion before installing Vector, I apparently used my cellphone more than usual checking my camera in my basement using up all my "clips" of which I was NEVER told there were only so many I had to use. It cut off any further use. Leaving me very concerned & upset that I could not pull up the picture from the camera to check my home which is the reason I purchased Vector to begin with.
According to the woman I spoke to I could only see those pics by buying more 'clips' for the last 1 1/2 weeks of the month. I had to buy another 1000 clips for 10.00. All the years I've been a customer I had never heard of this. I was then, the following month, charged again & told I had to write a signed letter having the extra $10 removed which I did. I mailed it to Columbia as she told me I couldn't fax it. I was continuously charged for 3 months & told my letter was not received, although my return address was on it! I also had problems with the 2nd camera I purchased but was ignored. After being a very loyal customer all those years I expected better treatment. I'm very dissatisfied with the way I was treated & because the extra $30 charged to me was not credited back I felt all my years with the co. was not appreciated & I felt uneasy about being able to keep tabs on my property. That is the reason I cancelled Vector!

Not only was I impressed with the presentation of the security system but I was thoroughly impressed with how Vector wouldn't sell me unnecessary equipment like other companies had tried to. They didn't bug me incessantly after I spoke with them pressuring me to hurry up and get an install date on the books, they worked around my schedule and made it super easy for me to get all the paperwork signed and submitted. The installation techs were outstanding!! They were EARLY to our appointment, yes I said EARLY! I wasn't even given a time block of 3-7pm or 8am-noon, I was given a specific appointment time and they were early. They were extremely polite, they didn't just walk in and act like they owned the place. They asked me to enter each room, they asked if it would be okay to look in certain places and then they got to work.
They finished in great time and cleaned up after themselves!!! We were in the middle of a big home renovation with a huge mess and they still took the time to clean up what little mess they made. The best part about our installation guys is they sat down on the floor with me crisscross applesauce style and one helped me keep two bored/fussy babies entertained while the other walked me through how to operate my system and how to set up and use my app. They far exceeded my expectations and it was so nice as a mother to have two grown men understand that kids get bored and that sometime mom needs a little help! We love our system, and loved the entire Vector team as a whole. We will recommend Vector to anyone we have the chance to!
