The box includes:

• Wireless Control Panel

Home Automation Package

Other than home security, Vector can also make your home smart through its Home Automation package. The only and main difference between the packages is that with Home Automation, you’ll get mobile access to everything you have in the Basic Home package.

With these devices, you can’t only safeguard your property from robbers, but you can also take control of every smart device you have at home. You can even lock and unlock your doors with just your mobile device.

Vector Security, rings a bell?

If you want to get someone to safe proof your home, you’ll want a company that has been in the business for a long time, right? Vector Security is exactly that type of company. As a matter of fact, it’s owned by the Philadelphia Contributionship, which happens to be co-founded by Benjamin Franklin. Gives it a little bit more credence, doesn’t it?

Apart from the fancy heritage, Vector Home Security is quite unique in the sense that it can give you the whole array of home security solutions you’ll ever need for your home.   From its Cloud video hosting, protection against burglars up to your personal medical emergency response system, you name it – they have it all!

Additional Devices

On top of the devices you can get with the three packages, there’s also the option to add the following:

• Secondary Touchscreen keypad
• Door/window sensors
• Sensors for smoke/heat, carbon monoxide and glass break
• Image sensor
• Indoor and outdoor camera

Availability and Cost

Vector Home Security is a professional security system and it’s not sold as an out-of-the-box product. It does make it a little bit harder to hold on to, as you can’t walk into an electronics store or a mall and buy it.

To get your Vector home security equipment, you have to:

1. Go to Vector’s website.
2. Enter your address and zip code.
3. Wait for the company’s representative to contact you and inform you if your area is in their coverage zone.
4. Make sure the devices you’ve selected are available in your region. Some of the additional gadgets aren’t available in a few locations, so make sure you double check with your Vector dealer.
5. Proceed with payment and schedule time for a technician to come over and install everything.

The pricing starts at $39.95 a month for the most basic package. You’ll have to directly contact Vector to see how much your package would cost as factors such as region and additional equipment may affect pricing. Getting an additional camera, for example, will cost you an extra $10 a month and an additional smart lock would mean another $10 a month.

The good news, however, is that professional installation is already included in the price of your package. When signing up, it’s essential that you read everything that’s included in its contract terms. The minimum contract requirement with the company is 36 months and it tends to auto-renew. In case you’re dissatisfied with the service or you feel that Vector is not the right fit for your home, you have to keep in mind that you’ll still get charged with the full amount if you cancel. If you’re looking for a system that offers a trial period, you may want to consider our #1 home security system, Frontpoint.  It has a 30-day risk-free trial period you can use to check the system out.
