Smith Thompson has been great! The price is affordable and the customer service is so much better than the other companies, too. There are no hidden costs with the system and no last-minute additions that are pushed on you; what you see is what you get. I highly recommend Smith Thompson to anyone looking for a good home security system. read more

Gary provided an awesome revamp of our security systems and patiently demonstrated it's working. Very professional support and Good value for money ! They responded to a fake alarm @ home within a minute read more

A coworker recommended Smith Thompson when I got a new house. I scheduled an appointment that same week. They called when they were close to my house. The service person was able to use the existing alarm system in the house installed by the builder. He was quick and efficient. They charge for the entire year up front but say the service is month to month and if you cancel before the year is up they will refund the rest of your money. So far the system is doing great monitoring my house. read more

I've had them for years and have never had a problem. They are great any time I need them and they have good prices. Five Star for sure! K. W. - DeSoto, TX read more

Thank you! Fantastic customer service. After being tied down to an expensive contact w/a competitor for several years, Smith Thompson is a refreshing change. read more

They're an awesome company with a great history and of course they keep their prices low with no inflation

Great customer service, came out and installed additional keypad and activated the service within a day of the request. Very happy with the service so far read more

Good with Monitoring, but disappointed with the mobile app. I was with Smith Thompson since last 3 years. Happy with Monitoring, but their Remote app is not good. Was using the Uplink Remote app since past 3 years, worked about 75-80% of the time. I reported the issue to see, if they can fix it to perfection. They tried other devices, but couldn't get it working. I requested to install the old device back so that at least it works 75-80%, they mentioned that they dont have a way to install the old device back. Unfortunately I ended up with no remote app at all which is pathetic. Services with AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint is pathetic in our area (Sugarland, TX); but Verizon is really good; but for some reason Smith Thompson Verizon devices doesn't work either. But devices with all other providers works well with Verizon, I wish Smith Thomson has better devices (or) at least have a way to give Uplink Remote device back; so that we can control the device remotely. Unfortunately, I have to start searching for a new provider now, just because of this issue. read more

Smith-Thompson is A-1 in customer service and response. I have accidentally set off my alarm a couple of times, and within FIVE SECONDS, I had a call from the company wanting to know if I was okay. I feel very safe, and the system is so easy to use. The technican Shawn was able to set up monitoring using the existing system in my home, and was very thorough in showing me how to use it. I recommend Smith-Thompson to all my real estate clients, because I know first-hand that they provide top-notch service, and at the lowest rates I've seen. read more

I highly recommend Smith Thompson! Shoot, my mother uses them, too! My aunt was the one who researched them & recommended their service to my mom. Note that my aunt doesn't mess around with nonsense; she wants good service at a good price! As a result, I didn't hesitate to use Smith Thompson when it was my turn to start "adult-ing" and hire a home security company. Besides them being the official home security for Dallas Mavericks (GO ROCKETS), you can't beat them; they have great ratings, great service (I'm sorry my boyfriend keeps opening the door once we set the alarm; I'm also annoyed), great price, and a great option to use the previous alarm equipment if compatible (no wasting which I love). read more

Don't let them sell you the wireless feature before checking the reviews for their HC Flex app that operates it. App is a simple on/off switch without the ability to place system in "stay" mode. App and system don't fully sync. While standing in house at control panel, I disarmed system. App continued to show as armed. App completely quit communicating while out of town. Called tech and was told I'd have to be home to troubleshoot. Called tech back when got home and, I kid you not, was told to delete the app and reinstall, something I'd already done multiple times. When that didn't work, I was told I'd have to wait for service tech to come out and given a four hour window. Nice troubleshooting. read more

I have had such wonderfully positive experiences with Smith Thompson. Their phone customer service agents are so kind and helpful and the technician who came to install the system was personable, knowledgeable, and patient as he explained the system. It is a real comfort to me to know that my system is always being monitored, and that even if I accidentally open a door with the alarm on, I will still get a call right away to check on me. Their prices are fair an the service is excellent. I highly recommend Smith Thompson Home Security. read more

I was in need of a reputable security company that could retro fit my old security system quickly and cost effective. Smith-Thompson came out a few days after my call and hooked my house up to a great security system and it only cost me $16.95! Their customer service is amazing and the security is top notch! Will be a customer for life! read more

This security company was recommended by insurance agent. Pricing is great and I am getting a great discount on my homeowners insurance. Appt scheduling to install was easy and the installer was friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend and asking have referred them to others. read more

Once you get past the high pressure sales people and have a tech come, they're great. The tech fast, knew his stuff, thorough and friendly. What more can I ask for? read more

I had Smith Thompson Home Security installed in my home in Feb 2019 in Frisco area. Here is what I think about them so far- 1.Not pushy for buying their services. Though, their sales team should be more polite rather than just sounding crisp and stern. 2.Technician was knowledgeable and on time for installation. He was pro but I expected little more lively attitude. 3. Customer service staff is prompt and helpful 4. The two downside: Their equipment(About $89...I guess) for wireless monitoring is proprietary and can't be used shall you decide to switch the provider later. You'll have to give them written notice one month in advance if you decide to cancel their services. read more

For the security system and monitoring, I have had few issues. The smart thermostat and training provided by customer support leaves area for improvement. Super unhappy with the new smart thermostat and Smith Thompson customer service. The thermostats were installed 2 months ago and when we turned on the heat two nights ago, they appeared to be working. However, now that the house is 59 degrees and dropping, I have found out that they have a malfunction and in fact are not working. The Smith Thompson tech can not come out for another 24 hours to diagnose and fix their "malfunction". It would be helpful to have your techs teach the home owner about the smart thermostat more thoroughly, so that the home owner knows how to self-diagnose a malfunction. I was told there is no error light or way to know it is not working on the home owners end. Smith Thompson can see on their end that an error occurred but they do not notify the home owner or proactively address the error. Smith Thompson waits until the home owners calls them. Smith Thompson should reimburse for the HVAC trip charge or provide a credit on the account for this expense. At the very least, they should provide better tech and home owner training around smart homes. read more

We have had Smith Thompson for over five years now, and have transferred service to three different houses. We have had a great experience, and have had no issues with the system or with customer service. I appreciate the fact that they do not require service contracts and they do not charge extra fees for the services they provide. The quoted price is the price you pay. They are a great company, and were very helpful transferring service, it was seamless! I would recommend Smith Thompson to anyone looking for a quality security company! read more

My first home, first time having an alarm system and my husband & I are very pleased!! We were referred by friends in the same neighborhood. The initial call was easy. I received great customer service, & it is VERY affordable compared to the others in our area!! The guy was very patient and thoroughly explained my options. They called & asked if they could come earlier than scheduled which was perfect!! We had 3 windows that were not wired & they didn't charge for a 2nd install call (appt has to be made w/I 30 days of 1st install) The monitoring system is great!! We have set it off a few times by accident (our lack of communication) & they call within seconds, like 3!! It was impressive, we feel safe and I would definitely recommend Smith Thompson! read more

Great company and great service. I was looking to an alternative to the ~$60/month I was paying to ADT for basic monitoring and they did a bang-up job. Technician was very professional and knowledgeable during my install. Highly recommend. read more

I had my older ADT system reactive by them and then they had to return because I wanted to add something to my system. Both techs were super professional. They both called me prior, came in and told me what they were doing, did it, and left. I couldn't ask for better. read more

After considering several different security systems including previous experience with another one that provided minimal service and tried to overcharge me after the end of the contract, we settled on Smith Thompson. Best decision I ever made regarding a security system. They are responsive to your requests, they do a great job of telling you your best options and they do not try to oversell you on something you do not need. We especially like the fact that you are not tied into long-term contracts. We had difficulty with a previous company when we moved and they did not offer service in our area, nightmare getting that account closed. We are thrilled with Smith Thompson and recommend them with out reservation. read more

For our new home we needed security system, the previous owner had installed one of the major brands. After several weeks of research we decided to go with Smith Thompson. And so far we are extremely happy with our decision. Easy process, efficient staff and affordable price. We highly recommend them . read more

I had a home security system connected, and they were great. They got out here fast, educated me on my system, and I love the app. Couldn't be happier. All for an affordable rate. read more

I have had many security systems in the different parts of the US where we have lived. The service man was by far one of the nicest and answered all my questions. He helped me load the app to my phone and showed me how to use it. They were able to use some the existing installed package in the home so the work was done quickly and the tech was extremely nice. read more

My wife and I recently moved and switched alarm companies to Smith Thompson. We were very happy with how easy the process was from our initial sign up to installation. The technician was very helpful and was able to use our existing key pad in the bedroom and install a new key pad by our garage door. The technician gave us a full explanation on how to use the system, and we have not had any issues with the system since. read more

From the first phone call to the actual use of our security system we have been 100% satisfied! The technician was knowledgable and courteous. He was able to answer all my questions and get the system up and running in no time. Thank you Smith Thompson Home Security for making our home more secure and at an affordable price to do so!!!! read more

Smith Thompson Home Security did a great job explaining the security system when installing at our home. The tech was very clear and explained all the features of the system. He made sure we were comfortable with the package and the low rate is great! I highly recommend. Best bang for your buck! read more

Be very careful of their up sale scam, they try to quote a 1996 law for smoke detectors in every room for new homes saying that because I only had one perfectly legal smoke detector they wouldn't take my service over without putting a smoke detector in every room. When I called him on it he admitted it is just their company policy it's not the law it's not required by any local ordinance it's simply Smith Thompson. They never mention this on the phone even though they knew I had a smoke detector. read more

Moved to the area recently and solicited recommendations for home security from the Nextdoor app. Majority of the recommendations were for Smith Thompson. Most of the feedback focused on great service and pricing. I gave them a call and the experience was very positive from the beginning. I appreciate the fact that they are willing to use existing equipment instead of automatically saying you need to upgrade replace everything. Their monthly fee for monitoring is definitely the most reasonable when compared to all local and national providers. Their technician installed a new keypad and got the system up and running as described over the phone and website. Very smooth process, no hidden fees or bait and switch. Great overall experience. read more

I got my Smith Thompson Security system replaced back in August 2016. I never heard anything from them when the battery was disconnected. No alarm went off, No calls from the monitoring company. I got a UGLY collection call in January saying they were turning me over to collections. I told them I had the service removed and had not heard from them until now and that I have replaced their system. These people are Crooks! They demanded that I pay them for services while another company was providing me quality Security and Monitoring services. I had always paid them in 3 month payments usually a couple months ahead so I was never past due. I told the lady I spoke with that since she is threatening to ruin my credit I will may the $79.50 in 10 equal payments over 10 months. This EPITAMY of a Customer Service/Collections person says then we wont have to ruin your credit over $79. I would not mind paying for my security system if 1) they had good monitoring - The entire time I had the system, you could not have told me that I didn't have a reliable system until the new company simply unplugged the battery and no one was the wiser. What are they monitoring? 2) How are you still billing me for this crock? O I guess you did it for 3 years under the pretense that I had a Security system! Take my advise and get a REAL security system. I don't want a system that someone can simply unplug without my monitoring company taking notice! BUYER BEWARE!!!!! read more

Excellent company that is VERY thorough with home inspections! After viewing the photos and videos they supplied us of our future home we were to purchase, we felt as if we were standing there doing the inspection ourselves! The inspector was extremely knowledgeable and informed us of every detail, even things we wouldn't have thought of. We highly recommend this company and will certainly use it again! read more

I made the switch from ADT and couldn't be happier. The service tech came out and was extremely quick and professional. The app works great and I'm saving $40 a month! All of my friends have switched and we're all happy! read more

I was with Cornerstone Alarm (Tomball, TX) for over 6 years and found out that because of changes by the phone service, the type of transmitter installed by the alarm company was no longer supported and therefore was no longer sending signals. Meaning that my alarm was longer being monitored!! Yet I was paying over $400 a year for service I was not receiving. So I moved to Smith Thompson and I am so glad I did! The Techniccian came to my home, installed new equipment, explained the service and the pricing (month to month) and I am now a happy customer again, feeling safer in my home! Thank you! read more

My family has been using Smith Thompson since 1994. My parents, in-laws, my wife and I all rely on Smith Thompson to keep us safe. The price my parents paid in 1994 is the price I'm paying today. I completely trust them to keep my family and me safe. Their customer service is always spot on and they are very quick to respond to all of my service inquiries. For the first time, I upgraded to get the app control of my system and it is super convenient and easy. read more

My experience with Smith Thompson has been positive from the start. They were able to schedule the installation promptly and with my schedule. The price and customer service cannot be beat. The tech that installed our home security was very knowledgeable and pleasant. All of my questions were answered. I recommend this company to everyone. read more

Great company! Super responsive! They provide professional service at a very reasonable price. I have been using their service for about a year, and never had any issue with the service. When the alarm goes off, they always call promptly to check. I am very pleased with their service. read more

My husband owns his own audio and video company;however, he does not monitor alarm systems. We want to have our home monitored while go are on vacation and like instances, so I checked out all the local alarm monitoring companies serving our area, including prices, contracts, and reviews. After speaking to a few, I selected and called Smith Thompson. I have not regretted a minute. The install was simple, fast and the technician knew exactly what he was doing! Thanks Smith Thompson! read more

What A.B., the other reviewer said is not correct. They DO have contracts, just not a contract that says you have to be with their service for "X" number of years. However, I did have to sign a contract that said that they will only be liable for 4 times my monthly fees. Since they charge $17 per month for their alarm monitoring service, then that means they can only be liable for $68. If they mess up and you get robbed, then they will only cough up $68. What Dr. Dan A. said is also incorrect. The tech who came to my house was very thorough, knowledgeable, professional, and most of all, honest. The tech called me and told me he was on his way 15 min before the scheduled time. He came in on time. He took off his shoes. This is very important because most techs refuse to take off their shoes and end up tracking dirt all over my carpet. I have to give them shoe booties. It shouldn't be my job to give techs shoe booties. They should either come prepared or take off their dirty shoes. This tech came in and automatically took off his shoes without my asking. Bret, the tech, also explained in detail how to use the alarm system. He checked all the doors and windows and did a complete security assessment of my house. Finally, I asked him about motion sensors and asked him how many I needed. He honestly answered, "They cost $129 each, but I'll try my best to intall them in such a way as to minimize the number of motion detectors that you'll need.." Most people these days will try to upsell you more stuff but he did not. I only just now signed up for their services, so I have no experience with their response times, but my neighbor says that they respond in just a couple minutes and that ADT takes a bit longer to respond. I used to have ADT and their service was responsive, too, in my experience, but ADT is a lot more expensive. ADT, last time I checked, charges $34 to $50 per month. read more

Smith Thompson has been great so far! Price is so much more affordable than almost all other security companies, and the customer service is so much better, too. I receive quick and friendly responses, and it's also nice to know that they're family-owned and located not too far away (in Plano). Another thing I like is that there are no hidden costs with the system and no last-minute additions that are pushed on you; what you see online is what you get. I'd highly recommend Smith Thompson to anyone looking for a good home security system. read more
