Vector Security Richmond VA Best Security Systems In Richmond And Surrounding Areas!

Vector Security Richmond VA

Vector Security is the best security company in the Richmond area, here's why!

Vector Security in Richmond VA area is the best security company who installs systems. Vector Security off GE Security and Honeywell security equipment. Their VIP warranty covers batteries installed free for the life you are with AVSX your local Vector Dealer.

What is a home security system in the twenty first century? It's many things. A home management system through new home automation technologies. Where cellular technology is able to connect the end user to their home from anywhere in the world.

But there are vulnerabilities to these remote access systems as well. And these are points everyone should know who's thinking of purchasing this new technology. Hacking is in the news. Recently at the Black Hat conference in Las Vegas this year some hackers were able to access some homeowners who had home automation systems installed in their homes. How were the hackers able to do it?

"Once upon a time, a compromise only meant your data was out of your control. Today, it can enable control over the physical world resulting in discomfort, covert audio/video surveillance, physical access or even personal harm. This talk will discuss the potential risks posed by network-attached devices”

An article by Kashmir Hill, from Forbes goes into what she was able to do with the knowledge she picked up from Daniel Crowley and David Bryan, of Trustwave."

After reading "When 'Smart Homes' Get Hacked: I Haunted A Complete Stranger's House Via The Internet" by Kashmir Hill. One thing is clear. Always create a unique user name and pass word for anything attached to an IP address. Never leave a default pass word attached to anything. And never use your phone number or address as any user name. 

Alarm.com does not make these amature mistakes. Neither does GE or Honeywell security. 

Bottom line If you are going to get a home security system. Stick with the best and make sure its cellular monitored system. The remote access app communicates with your systems cellularly, not through your IP address.

Only work with company's who have low complaints with the BBB, and  use Honeywell or GE security equipment. Also create passwords with upper and lower case letters, numbers , and special characters. 





Richmond, Virginia the Capital of the State, residents have real safety concerns. It was not long ago when Richmond was known as the murder capitol of the country. Thankfully since 1995 the murder rate in Richmond has gone down about 50% although the property crime rate has basically stayed the same in the urban areas. Unfortunately property crime has slightly gone up in rural areas.

DIY Home Security Richmond VA Which Company Is Best?

DIY Home Security Richmond VA FrontPoint Wins!

DIY Home Security in Richmond VA FrontPoint Security offers the best value and here's why!

  • Z-Wave Compatibility

  • Free Apps
  • Ability To Offer Text Alerts 

CALL!1-855-436-2403


Which is the best DIY Home security system? For customer service It's FrontPoint Security. For Price and equipment is Protect America.

FrontPoint Security offers you the ability to add cameras, and z-wave technology. Also all their systems come with cellular monitoring. Which we believe to be the safest systems available. Cellular monitored systems are not dependant on your telephone network, or your land line. Most people in the Richmond Petersburg, Fredericksburg area have either Comcast or Verizon for their Internet and home telephone line. Unfortunately if your electricity is down often your land line is down as well. With cellular monitoring your system will still communicate with the central station. Weather your land line or telephone network has been disrupted or not.

Protect America does not offer cameras and z-wave technology. But no other company gives you as much as Protect America. Starting at only $19.99/mon no activation or installing fees. No one else comes close for that price.

Both companies offer the best of all worlds. With either company you do not have to have a pushy salesperson in your home or a stranger installing the system for hours. Both systems use GE Security Simon XT which is the most robust system available. And unbelievably simple to install. I met a 67 year old widow who installed a Frontpoint system herself. She was proud and happy on strangers ever stepped foot in her home.
