    Nice picture quality, only wish it recorded for little longer and not cut off. Also, needs to be better at catching when someone is in the room.

    This is my first use of a canary product. It is very easy to setup and seems to work as advertised. I'm curious if the integration with other home security products in on the horizon? It would be nice to have a single app able to work with the different devices I've installed.

    Awesome product for spying on the nanny or the pets. Easily able to protect you from intruders with its siren or save you from a gas leak with its air quality detection feature. It’s truly a life saver. The paid membership is a bit silly in my opinion but since it is not required at all, I give the camera 5 stars.

    Not an alarm system

    First things first, I’ve read a lot of reviews for this before I bought this. The number one complaint from people is it’s a little laggy. There is a slight delay of a couple seconds in video. Once the camera detects activity, it takes two seconds to get the notification and then watch what’s happening. But since this device is not for reporting activity and calling emergency services as a service like ADT would, I really don’t have that much of a problem with that. Once I see an intruder, let’s say, I can sound the siren and call the police from the app. Meanwhile it’s recording the whole time so I have the video for a police report and my insurance. There’s been a few times it’s been a bit glitchy and customer service explained that it was a problem with their servers. The customer service is great. Responds quickly and it’s always a real person, not an automated system. Set up is extremely easy, just pair to Bluetooth on your phone and then connect it to WiFi. Adding more cameras is the same process.

    Canary gives us some peace of mind about leaving the house empty for a few days. It was tricky to configure for 2 phones but it works great once you get it.

    I almost didn't purchase this camera due to the reviews I read. But when I saw it I just had to give it a try my self and I have not had any issues with connection like others have mentioned. The quality is amazing. There is a 3 second delay but I'm fine with that. Overall this is a great cam to watch over the house while gone or to watch pets.

    The Canary is a real nice security camera that has an app that works real nice also. The setup was extremely easy and straightforward. The only thing I wish this had was ability to talk through the device when not home - otherwise real nice quality video and sound. Looking forward to Canarys upcoming device(s) that I heard may be coming out.

    I've had this product for six weeks while we've been on the road away from the house and it's been great to see everything at home. The camera works great and the app has worked well so far. Any notifications for motion are sent right through. Just what we were looking for to watch the house while on the road for an extended period.

    Works great right out of the box. Does exactly as advertised. This device allows me to monitor activity in my home while I am away, specifically what goes down when my dog walker comes on a daily basis. Plays well with the Wink Hub as well. Would recommend.

    I really like the way I can configure this device to suite my needs. The HD quality of the camera is great and it's got a very good range of view. Ability to zoom in while reviewing video is great. They should add two way communication like Ring and should have a better deal on multiple devices for repeat customers. It's costly.

    Bought this for my daughter's apartment. Set up was extremely easy and works exactly as advertised. She receives alerts that someone is entering her apartment and can see very clear video. She saw a repairman entering as he was supposed to and this gives her great comfort that nobody can enter without her knowing.
