I was on the draw of which system I would get..I got this one because of reviews..and I'm glad I did..I had some issues at first with set up but the customer service helper Zach was awesome and got me through it..I have been up and running with the Canary for about a month and a half..I'm really considering a second one.

    After a few problems setting it up, the Canary home security system is great. The wide camera angle & clarity is amazing. The app is easy to use & recent upgrades have made it a great product even better. So why the 4 stars? The set up process!

    Picture is crystal clear during ambient light. Night time black and white is clesr also. Alerts are approx 2.5 mins after motion is actually detected. Custom settings allow for no monitoring while home. Only reason this is not a 5 star rating is that the base free retention is only 24 hours while monthly subscription is needed to retain for longer periods. This is in keeping with most other cameras researched however,

    Works well but not perfect

    I love having a security camera to keep an eye on things, especially my animals. This camera works well even with the night vision and has a great, wide angle of view. The only problems I have are, one you can not speak into it-as in to scold the animals for misbehaving and two, when I look back at the motion sensor recordings it frequently skips portions. For example I can see the dog walker talking my dog out but never see her actually come IN. So for a security camera that seems like a major flaw. Since I'm more interested in keeping watch of my new puppy this wasn't enough to make me return it but if I were more interested in security I probably would.

    I was looking for something easy to install with a wide viewing angle and some kind of cloud storage. I got it with the Canary. I was debating between this and the Drop Cam but went the Cabary route because of the wider viewing angle and better cloud options. I highly recommend it because it was easy to install and works great!

    Would not stay connected to the Internet, gave false alarms, thought I was away when I was sitting right next to it, on and on. Internet help was more of a hindrance than a help. Gave up on them also. Not a very good product, skip it. I am still looking for a recommendation.

    While my home has ADT, we didn't get a video system with it as the reviews for them are not great. When looking at reviews this was the one I wanted to try. It does everything I need it to! It has a motion sensor, it lets me hear sound as well, it records events, and the video quality both day and night are fantastic! At first I used this system to keep an eye on the inside of my home. We were traveling and my home had already been broken into before. Did you know only 13% of robbers get arrested? This time if it happened I would have their faces! (Robbers tend to also live in the area.... so you can see where my plan was going!) But as it turned out, no robbery. I had peace of mind though these past 5 months with this security camera. It turned into being for security to helping me keep an eye on my kids and pets when away from home. It makes me smile and makes me feel like the kids are safer. I can see something not right, call the babysitter, and have it fixed right away. I highly recommend this security camera!

    Ok system, but leaves a lot to be desired

    Overall, a decent "all-in-one" home security camera. The camera itself is fairly high quality compared to the market right now, however it's advanced features are lacking. No hard disk or sd card storage is a big disappointment, and the online system is marginal at best. The sensors are a nice feature but too limited for any substantial use. Overall an ok system but there are better options out there.

    I would give this camera 5 stars. But the company doesn't clarify that a paid membership unlocks everything. This is the best way to secure your home without breaking the bank. I always snatch up one on sale. Right now it's $49.99 and I convinced my friends to buy two of them. I think the biggest feature of this camera is the design. It doesn't look like a security camera at all. But not ugly sitting in your living room.

    I was reading many reviews in other security cameras and this one seemed to be the easiest to set up. It was literally 5 minutes with my iPhone. It works great and has a good picture. I bought a second one for another room in the house.
