The invention discloses a smart electric meter capable of preventing electricity from being stolen. The smart electric meter comprises a shell, a voltage and current detection module, a drive module, a charging and discharging control module, a metering module, a data processing module, an I/O module, an infrared sensor, a video collecting module, a display module, a storage module, a keyboard, a wireless signal communication module, a storage battery module and a cover opening signal generator. The voltage and current detection module, the drive module, the charging and discharging control module, the metering module, the data processing module, the I/O module, storage module, the wireless signal communication module, the storage battery module and the cover opening signal generator are all arranged in the shell. The system has the advantages that electricity metering precision is high and the system operates stably; when the electric meter is adjusted illegally or out of line, a photo can be taken for an operator in time for storage, remote alarming can be carried out in time through a wireless transmission system, and accordingly the phenomenon of stealing the electricity can be effectively avoided.
