If you move within the first year of your term there is a fee, and you must stay within their service areas to avoid cancellation fees. Smith Monitoring's service areas are limited. They are still a small company and out-source some of their services to their partners.
Our Recommendation
Packages and pricing from Smith's are not clear on the company's website. It also appears that the company outsources home security clients. For these reasons, we cannot recommend Smith Monitoring at this time.
