    Too long to get notifications

    The camera is excellent even in night mode. It's overall a decent product considering it's size. My issue was that it took too long to notify of movement. The alarm was set and my daughter had time to enter the house, grab her keys off the table and go back out. When I did get the notification I viewed the video and it didn't show her entering at all.

    I don't have the fastest internet speeds at my house and wound up having to return the Canary because it was just too choppy and grainy of a video feed. Probably works great on better Internet service, but don't bother if you have a slower connection.

    I bought this item and installed it in my home in South Carolina,I already have a monitored system that I was going to discontinue.I liked the idea that I would be able to monitor inside temp and humidity at a glance,along with the video.At the same time I also installed a RING spotlight camera at my front entrance.To make the story very short the CANARY went offline two days after Ieft to go back to my home in Pa.It was then that I found out there is NO phone contact with CANARY at all.CANARY HAS NO CUSTOMER SERVICE to speak of. After getting in touch with CANARY by email their response was to reboot the device,hard to do from 600 miles away,I would not recommend this product if you are going to use it for security from a distance!!!!!!

    Great compact system. Perfect if you have an open floor plan. The camera is much clearer than a much more expensive system I previously used. The app is excellent with notication set up for temp, air quality, and motion. It also allows you to open a live view from the camera and sound the built in siren.

    It does go off line sometimes while using Wi-Fi. But that could be from the Wi-Fi. It's a bit delayed far as catching movement.

    So far not bad. The installation was more complicated than I expected. The yellow secure setup cable was missing.

    For the most part I'm happy with this camera. I only wish it was HomeKit compatable and the IR LEDs were not so bright in a dark room.

    This is a great do it your self home security. The system currently sits on a windowsill near to the enterance of my house. With the camera here I am able to detect anybody that comes to the door, There is a few seconds of lag when viewing the camera in real time but nothing that hinders this awesome product.

    I love our Canary Camera. It provides me comfort to know that I can be away and still have the luxury of knowing what is going on inside my home. This was a necessity when dealing with our previous landlord. I also love the feature of being able to set off a siren if need be. And all from my phone!

    This is great to use for a single room. The night vision is very clear and the zoom feature is great! The motion sensor is a little sensitive, but can be adjusted via the app. Love that you get 7 free hours of video storage FREE. I use this for a puppy cam and it works really well. highly recommend!

    Solid hardware

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Although I am happy with the hardware and the phone support line, the initial set up was a nightmare. It took at least three hours to get it set up and working properly. They could have prevented this simply by including a small LAN cable. In general, I'm happy with it once it's set up and running, but since the set up was one of the worst I have encountered in many years, I had to rate this 3 stars.

    I bought Canary so I could keep an eye on my two dogs when I was gone. I had no idea what they did when I left. I found out they pretty much lie around and watch the door for me to come back. You can see your home at night – Canary has the "eyes" of an owl! Good value for the price.
