We recently became customer's of Smith Thompson Home Security. We were looking for a less expensive service than the one we had been using and wanted a wireless system. I called this company after seeing ads in local print media. Their pricing seemed quite reasonable. After speaking to a polite and knowledgeable representative, I made an appointment to have their system put in our home. The installer arrived promptly for his appointed time and removed our old system, installing the new. He was patient, answered all our questions and was careful not to leave any mess. He even neatly boxed up the old system we were recycling! He trained us quickly on their equipment and left a "cheat sheet" in case we forgot anything. We were pleased with the ease and professionalism of the install and are happy with the monitoring service.

First and foremost, they had the most competitive price on the market. Secondly, they were able to use my existing equipment which was one of the main things that I was looking for. And lastly, they were on time, very courteous, knowledgeable, and efficient. The technician was in and out in less than an hour. And given the current pandemic, he wore a face mask, show coverings and kept a safe distance the whole time. I highly recommend Smith Thompson for all of your home security needs.

Had a late afternoon appointment, Installer called to ask if he could come early! Awesome! Waited for me to carry my groceries in. Very courteous, knowledgeable, patient and efficient! In and out! I’ve had two alarm occurrences in the last 30 days! I forget because the old company, ADwhatever, never responded. Smith Thompson called me within 30 seconds! Great company!

We have really loved our experience with Smith Thompson. We were able to get a new system installed. We called on a Wednesday and a technician was able to get to our house that weekend. The technician called us when he was 30 minutes away, called before he knocked on the door, and set up our security system in under an hour. We really appreciated how detailed the technician was in his explanation on what our security system entailed, and answered all the questions we had. Very excited about our security system.

I have had Smith Thompson now for 7 years . I have wireless motion sensors and wireless open sensor on garage door and is a heavy duty large so if the door moves in the wend system will not go off all was recommended by the installer and no wiring had to be added. I do self test every month which everyone should do no matter the security system you have only once had to do a reset caused by lightning strikes and a power surge. I like that they give you the option to pay once a year and give a discount of one month for doing this for the price you cant beat even with cameras.

Cheryl Allen, TX

We recently moved to the area from Pennsylvania and one of our new neighbors recommended Smith Thompson Home Security to monitor our alarm. We are not disappointed at all in the quick response, service to install, start up, and in the professional manner Shawn explained everything to us. I'm very impressed that there is no contract, and if you are not satisfied you can just cancel the service. Did I mention they price? It is a bargain!

James Bennett Denton, TX

Where to start. First off, the monthly monitoring price is the best in the industry. From the first time I made contact with Smith Thompson to the time the technician left my home following install, my experience was stellar. The salespeople are super friendly, the tech was great and very detailed when showing me how the entire system worked. And the few times I have inadvertently set the alarm off, the call center contacts me immediately with genuine concern. I can't say enough good things about this company and will be a customer for life!

I have just started with Smith Thompson as referred from a friend that this was a really great company to have. I must say that they are absolutely the best. The Tech was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. I would recommend this company to everyone seeking a great security company at an unbeatable cost, and when I say unbeatable I mean it.

I was very happy with the technician that activated the system in my new house. He was very friendly and did the job quickly. Smith Thompson is the best deal out there for monitoring. At $16.95 a month, there is not another company that comes close. They have good service too. Had a false alarm just the other day, and their call came in under ten seconds. Very glad I chose Smith Thompson.

Originally used ADT for security and they were charging me $65+ a month for security and other features I didn't even have. I was recommended to use Smith Thompson and have not been more pleased. Only paying around $20/month without a contract is a steal. Thanks!

I contracted with Smith Thompson starting in 2008 after moving to Texas from California. Over the last 10 years the wireless system has worked perfectly. The response time is remarkably fast. My wife feels very secure when I’m traveling away from home.

Have had service for just over three years and so far not a single problem. On two occasions, alarm went off and the call back from them was extremely quick. Feel secure knowing they are looking after me. I've recommended them several times and everyone has switched. Great company, honest and fair cost. Highly recommend them

Have had Smith Thompson for at least six years. Love the cost, the cellular alert to their monitoring station, and their rapid response to each alarm. They also offer a one month discount if you pay for a year of monitoring up front each year.

When I used Smith Thompson Home Security in the past, it was easy to schedule an appointment. The technician who came to the house, Greg, called in advance and was on time. He was extremely knowledgeable and personable and patiently explained to me how the system worked. He answered all of my questions in a professional manner. When I later called tech services, the employee was also very knowledgeable and professional. I’d highly recommend using Smith Thompson for home security needs!

We dropped ADT because they had us sign a 3-year contract, during which they raised our rates. Smith-Thompson is much less expensive.

Do not use Smith Thompson, All they care about is trying to get more money out of you and every answer is you need a technician, and 5 of 5 five times this has been a lie. Any issue I have had has been on the company side or a simple software setting. All that can be done remote.

Saturday's are our most popular day, so they can book out a bit. Most of the time, we're able to make it out same-day, or next-day for repairs though. We're sorry about that!
