CANFIELD, Ohio — Vector Security is hosting a grand opening today for a new retail outlet, located here, that offers customers the opportunity to touch, feel and demo security and smart home solutions offered by the company.
A Customer Experience Area features products such as security control panels, indoor and outdoor video cameras, doorbell cameras, lights, thermostats and other smart home devices. Real windows and doors show how sensors and contacts work and how alarms can be triggered.
As well, customers can use a store-provided iPad in the store’s “living room” and experience the protection, comfort and convenience of controlling smart home functions using the Vector Security mobile app, according to an announcement.

Customers can also demo voice control using an Amazon Echo Dot to see how Vector Security “skills” can be used to control their security system, as well as lights, locks and thermostats.
Those who wish to purchase equipment can place an order onsite and schedule installation, or make an in-home appointment with a sales representative.
Although the 2,300-square-foot store recently opened for business, the grand opening is scheduled today from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. Canfield is home to the company’s largest installed customer base in Ohio.
“The storefront adds a new dimension of visibility for our brand … and we hope that people from the community will come join the celebration,” says Art Miller, vice president, marketing. “We’ve planned a ribbon cutting ceremony, local news coverage, a visit by our President and CEO Pam Petrow, as well as prizes and giveaways, including referral incentives for customers who bring a friend that signs up for service.”
Vector Security plans to roll out additional storefront locations in key markets over the next several months for local brand awareness and easy access to smart home and business security and automation solutions.
“We are very excited to bring this storefront concept to the Youngstown/Boardman area,” states Gordon Zeiler, general manager, Vector Security. “Not only will our current customer base enjoy easy accessibility to our new location, but the general public will be able to experience first-hand what our home security and automation products can add to their lifestyle.”
